10 WWE Breakups You Forgot Were HEARTBREAKING

Here's one you likely weren't expecting.

Don't look over here all nimbly bimbly with your jaw flip-flopping all over the place like WCW Cruiserweights on Nitro in 1997. Shout out to Dusty on commentary, by the way. He rarely made much sense beyond meme-worthy soundbites, but he added a lot to WCW's best moments and the way he called Bobby Heenan "pumpkin head" lives long in the memory. So, mind you, does his range at SummerSlam 1990.

There, Rhodes launched a backstage campaign to find his "Sweet Sapphire". She'd gone missing, which was especially worrying considering she had a match lined up vs. the devious Sensational Sherri. Dusty enlisted the likes of Jim Duggan (their backstage promo is must see silliness) to help him find her, but no dice. Nobody could spot Sapphire, then she no-showed the match itself.

Later, it was revealed that Sapphire had sold out to Ted DiBiase's 'Million Dollar Man' character and turned her back on Dusty. The 'Dream' was shattered, so much so that he couldn't get his head in the game for a match with Randy Savage on the same card. This was some lowkey excellent emotional work from Rhodes during a largely cartoony era. It was unexpected for a bubbly dude in polka dots.

Sapphire ripped Dusty's heart out live on pay-per-view, and traded his values for cold hard cash. That instantly put heat on DiBiase, but it might've turned her into a killer heel gimmick too if she'd stuck around long enough. Still, unreal levels of affection, concern, distress and then anguish from Dust across the entire show.
