WWE Money In The Bank: 10 Things We Learned

7. There Will Never Be Another Dusty Rhodes

Jerry 'The King' Lawler said it himself during the Pay-Per-View portion of the broadcast, there will perhaps never be another performer like the 'American Dream' Dusty Rhodes. Stating the blindingly obvious, professional wrestling has changed a lot since Dusty's heyday in the 1980's, but it's safe to say he would have been a success no matter what generation he worked in. The big question is, had wrestling changed so dramatically (in WWE at least) that the likes of Rhodes will never be seen again? Promos were a huge part of Dusty's appeal, and he came up in an era which allowed him free reign to explore himself as a talker, something WWE performers aren't really afforded in today's product. It's been said a million times - and it'll be said a million more - that WWE really need to go back to basics with the art of the interview. Someone who could have imparted so much knowledge onto young stars is now gone, and so many crucial wrestling lessons have gone with him. Dusty Rhodes truly was one of a kind, and it's clear that even WWE's management agree.
