Geocache Description:


Four Hundred FiftyFifth in the Famous People (FP) Series - Dusty Rhodes
Virgil Riley Runnels, Jr. (born October 12, 1945), better known as "The American Dream" Dusty Rhodes, is a semi-retired American professional wrestler.

Rhodes had feuds with stars such as Abdullah the Butcher, Pak Song, Terry Funk, Kevin Sullivan, Blackjack Mulligan, Nikita Koloff, Harley Race, "Superstar" Billy Graham, "Crippler" Ray Stevens and most notably, The Four Horsemen, especially Ric Flair and Tully Blanchard.

Rhodes, Flair, and Race each fought each other many times over the NWA World Heavyweight Championship. Rhodes won the NWA World Title three times; twice by defeating Race (in 1979 and 1981) and once by defeating Flair (1986).

He was fired from Jim Crockett Promotions after Starrcade '88, because of a taboo on-screen bloodletting (laid down by the Turner Broadcasting Company following their purchase of the company) during a November 26 altercation with the Road Warriors. Rhodes booked an angle where Road Warrior Animal pulled a spike out of his shoulder pad and jammed it in Rhodes' eye busting it wide open.

In late 1989 Rhodes came to the WWF as the yellow polka-dotted "Common Man" Dusty Rhodes, a gimmick some felt was intended to humiliate him, although Dusty later admitted that the gimmick and outfit were his own ideas. He was managed by Sapphire, who was intended to represent the "common woman". As you pass by the Rhodes marker here in the Union Grove cemetery, you will know you're on your way to finding a small, plastic tube tethered nearby.
