9 Dusty Rhodes Promos WWE Fans Must Watch
1. Hard Times

Dusty's most far-reaching promo of all is without question, this one. His promo cut on 'hard times'.
The American Dream was merely a common man, representing the working class, and a man who was fortunate enough to be living out his own American dream. But after getting hurt at the hands of Ric Flair and The Horsemen, Dusty said his rivals brought 'hard times' on the people of American for knocking him out of action.
This famous segment embodies everything Rhodes' character was about, and it touches on real-life issues in America at the time too, such as poverty and unemployment. But Rhodes managed to roll everything into one with a potent, and emotional message to the people watching him.
Dusty called for his support to continue as he ensured that he'd take the World Heavyweight Championship from Ric Flair when he next got the opportunity, to help his supporters get through 'these hard time blues.'
Rest in peace, Dream.
