June 11, 201511 yr I'm eternally grateful to him for providing us with what is, in my humble opinion, the greatest promo interview ever given: "Hard Times".
June 11, 201511 yr Never cared for his time in the WWE. It was in the NWA and later WCW that he was at his best. His matches with Flair were awesome as well as battling the Horsemen. Great behind the microphone. Great pitchman.
June 12, 201511 yr The American Dream is dead. Thanks Obama. Now you're channeling your inner All Tell.
June 12, 201511 yr My favorite video is the "Tip my hat to a lady with Baby Doll. That will make you smile.
June 12, 201511 yr One of the greatest ever cutting a promo. WEBN has a guy on the morning show that does a pretty good impersenation of Dusty, and calls various people and gets them stirred up.
June 12, 201511 yr Now you're channeling your inner All Tell. You gotta admit that was a good line though:)!!!
