    My dad is Garry Shider, wire the diaper in P funk, we lived in Atlanta in the 80’s. We loved NWA wrestling and my dad was a HUGE Dusty Rhodes fan. He would have been so tickled to hear this podcast! 😆😆

      I saw your dad perform with Clinton in Columbus several months before he passed away. What an experience! Didn't know he was a wrestling fan. It's been a while, but I'm sorry for your loss.

      He got over because he was the booker and constantly booked himself to get the rub over younger guys. He was very charismatic but should have never been a wrestler. Just some fat piece of shit with a big mouth would have made a great manager or maybe a heel.

    One, Dusty being a Funkateer wouldn't have surprised me at all. In fact, I always assumed he was, and as Corny said, that was part of the appeal. I always pictured him saying random P-Funk quotes "Weh luh you, Doctor Funkensthein..." "... with the rhythm it take to dance to whut we have to lih thru, baby..."
    Two, it says something to the man himself where he can go back and forth between cowboy getups and blaxploitation movie attire, and everyone fan-wise just accepted it like "yep, that's just Dusty!"

    No wrestler I ever saw or was a fan of an appreciated was as beloved and belived and TRULY "over" to not even let poka dots and bullshit the wwf did to him dim his lights. Above average to even good in the ring when he was young an din his prime. An top 5 of all time on a promo that talked hundreds of thousands in the stadiums. AN yes a top 10 mind in the business warts an all. The DDP Page tribute to Dusty had me bawl. Rest in peace Dream.

    Bear in mind "Stardust" Dusty Rhoes was originally meant to be a heel character - an arrogant swaggering jive talking funkster. However because he was white, the racist fans in the South didn't feel threatened by him, so they saw him as an amusing and entertaining gy so they cheered him until he turned face in 1974.

    Question I've always had about Dusty and Memphis: So is that why they brought in "Dirty" Rhodes---that cheap outlaw mudshow "Dusty" knockoff, because they could never really get Dusty in Memphis, so they got a cheap imitation to make him look bad, kind of like "Gill-berg" in WWE---or Randy Hogan in Georgia wrestling?

    I don't believe Dusty ever wrestled in Knoxville. Not that I remember. Even at the height of the Southeastern wrestling days of the 70s. He wrestled Memphis.
