WWE Hall of Famer Diamond Dallas Page tells Chris Van Vliet the story of how he found out that Dusty Rhodes had passed away #wwe #codyrhodes #dustyrhodes
Loyalty = “Dallas never fell off that hand” Dusty For Dusty to share that to Cody, shows how much of a real friend Dallas was and why Cody really appreciates him openly as he does and will also forever be his friend
It’s amazing DDP thinks of Jake as a mentor even still, because you ask Jake and he talks like DDP is the sun he revolves around. DDP got Jake clean. Amazing circle of friends.
As a kid growing up watching WCW I was a huge nWo mark so I hated DDP. But as an adult I realize what an amazing person he is. A hell of a wrestler too.
I have one friend who has stayed on that hand the entire time and will never fall off it. I count it as my life's greatest blessing that I have that one friend. For DDP to be that one friend to Dusty of all people, man, that is the highest honor.
in his 30s? ah that makes a lot of sense. As a kid watching WCW, I always wondered why he looked like every other wrestler's older brother, but I hadn't heard of him before. I thought it was just old-man-looking genetics, and maybe smoked too many cigars.
@@johnrouille5428 yeah i think around 95/96 is when I got into WCW and wrestling in general, and remember seeing NWO start and most of the shenanigans they brought, but I was 7/8 so I never knew DDP’s real personal details. Haven’t watched wrestling since the WWF attitude era, but am somewhat caught up and familiar from watching UA-cam videos. I’ll definitely watch something about his full career, because he wasn’t a fav of mine, but was super entertaining 👍
@@joshschneider9766 Reading this as someone who isn't a big Dusty fan- I already KNEW wrestling fans in general owe a lot to Dusty. So I took the few seconds and googled it. I recommend others do to, tbh. I didn't realize that he spent time in SO many wrestling organizations. That alone- his knowledge and experience beginning from 1967, working with so many massive names is priceless. I had no idea he was a booker for as long as he was and is considered one of the greatest! I was ready to believe we owed him a lot purely because of his sons, but in reality I was discounting Dusty and all he personally did in front of and behind the camera.
I remember Dusty and the Von Eriks choreographing matches back in 1964 in an outside ring in Ohio where I grew up. People don't give that era enough credit for how much they practiced to give the fans the best shows possible.
1964? Did you mean 1984? Dusty made his wrestling debut in 1967. In 1964, the Von Erichs would have been Fritz and his kayfabe brother Waldo and there was no Dusty Rhodes in 1964 other than the New York Giants baseball player named Dusty Rhodes. That's where Dusty Runnels got the name Dusty Rhodes. The New York Giants baseball player Dusty Rhodes was the favorite baseball player of Cody's grandfather.
I watched DDP go from a manager of the diamond carral with Scott hall and Kevin Nash into DDP the wrestler and world champion at like 40 years later such an impressive guy and for Dusty rhodes to put him top five says alot
Those 2 are 2 amazing mentors. Most people never get 1. It's no wonder Dallas took to the business so fast. I learned from a rando who spent 20 years on the Indies. He was good... In my mind he was good enough to make WWE especially in the weak years from 2006-2019. However he stayed on the independents his entire career. Cameron Frost.
we always glad my son was named dallas..I watched ddp alot on nitro..dangg those were the best day..if the done it Tuesday..these both be here..cause Tuesday was no wrestling ontv.
Once again, this proves that nobody who has ever worked with Dusty had a bad thing to say about him. I love DDP. RIP Dream. and Congratulations to Cody and his continued success as world champ :)
Banana said this DDP could do so much I don't want to see his talent go to waste in the wrestling business. A ew could benefit from GDP in his positivity I wish they would hire him to be like a positivity and for the yoga for the wrestlers and to constantly help wrestling especially AEW cuz DDP could not have to step in the ring but helping what the morale and all that
Bro got the shaft when he came over to WWE. Wish he would have had a better run than what he had. Granted, he battled with some injuries but I feel like so many guys loyal to WCW got shafted by Vince being a petty asshole.
I can't stand. Cody Rhodes Just Dusty Rhodes died when Cody Rose was 31 years old. Cry me a river at least you knew your dad. My dad died when I was a young child
DDP is an amazing human being. He would come into my Boston Market restaurant once a week and was polite to everyone. On the contrary other Atlanta celebrity customers wanted you to kiss their ass
Now I want to do a version of that, only like "Eric wanted you to know that he had only 5 real friends. Now when i can find his list, I'll let you know..."
Dusty has gotta be one of the most influential wrestlers of all time. His connection not just to the fans, but to the business, runs DEEP. Dusty had a hand in everything.
Growing up watching the Monday Night Wars, I came to be a huge fan of DDP. He became one of my favorite wrestlers. I was always doing the Diamond Cutter gesture at school. The WWE did him dirty when he came over after the merger. He wasn't around for very long when compared to many other superstars but he is still one of my all-time favorites.

i believe it. DDP is such an amazing guy
He's like the patron Saint of wrestlers having hard times.
Edit: pun unintended
@@nukeninmgt1504 bro not even just wrestlers lol, he looks out for people from all walks of life. truly someone we can all look up to
@@iannnCFC
True! He's just a good soul, dude.
@@nukeninmgt1504 absolutely brother
Dude is straight up a great human being
Rest in peace the only dude to make polka dots look cool, Dusty Rhodes, let’s hope we can keep Jake a little bit longer.
One of two dudes*
Lol Randy Rhoads
Jake's been holding on really well... let's hope we have him for several years more.
@@MothmanColdbeat me to it haha
As long as there's more piss to drink, Jake will be around.
what about mr blobby
Loyalty = “Dallas never fell off that hand” Dusty

DDP seems like a rly good dude his yoga has basically saved lives.
Big fan of DDP. In 97 he was one of the most popular wrestlers.
DDP is a freaking amazing guy
It’s amazing DDP thinks of Jake as a mentor even still, because you ask Jake and he talks like DDP is the sun he revolves around. DDP got Jake clean. Amazing circle of friends.
As a kid growing up watching WCW I was a huge nWo mark so I hated DDP. But as an adult I realize what an amazing person he is. A hell of a wrestler too.
I was a DDP mark so I hated the black and white NWO 😂
As a kid how could anyone of hated ddp lol that’s how I feel. I hated nWo black n white / Hollywood
@@michaelmcguigan5278 I was rebellious as a kid and cheered the heels. The cool heels that is.
My man broke his back at 30, came back and won the WCW Heavyweight Championship title at 35. He’s surely an amazing dude! Humble af!
Ain't nothing wrong with it. WCW made wrestling seem real so when fans didn't like you, they LEGIT didn't like you.
Another guy DDP knows he owes ALOT to is of course Randy savage that feud they had made DDP a superstar
Oooooh, YEEEEAAAH!! DIG IT?!
Put him in the hof just for what he’s done for other people in and out the ring . His impact and influence on wrestling is insane
DDP seems like such a stand up guy. He’s one of the few guys who went to Mean Gene’s funeral.
of the few? :o
I have one friend who has stayed on that hand the entire time and will never fall off it. I count it as my life's greatest blessing that I have that one friend.
For DDP to be that one friend to Dusty of all people, man, that is the highest honor.
He’s one of the most inspirational guys ever he became a pro wrestler in his 30s and held WCW on its back as a baby face
in his 30s? ah that makes a lot of sense. As a kid watching WCW, I always wondered why he looked like every other wrestler's older brother, but I hadn't heard of him before. I thought it was just old-man-looking genetics, and maybe smoked too many cigars.
@@TheCJRhodesyup he began his career at 35
@@MIDIEisMighty dang good for him! any good documentary recommendations about him?
@@TheCJRhodesif you haven’t watched old episodes of wcw you should go back to the beginning of nwo which was mid 96 and watch til end of 98

I met DDP when i was a kid...i swear bro had an aura 😂 i could barely talk to him
So...about like Rick James on the Chappelle show.
We all owe Dusty so much.
Respectfully that’s not true.
@@damianking11 even taking his own career as a performer out of it, he was the NXT boss for seven years. Just stop talking.

Dusty had the best speaking voice I had ever heard, was a fan of his since, oh yeah, he taught me how to take a fall like a pro.

@@haljordan777 Dusty wrestled before WWF, Before WCW.... you might want to rethink your timeline.
@@haljordan777 And the Von Eriks were training wrestlers before then,, Not sure where you got your dates from, but I know who and when and where.
@@writerseye still, Dusty only picked up wrestling in 1967. In 1964, he was still playing football for Hartford.
What a pair to be your mentors
The influence Jake had on DDP and Raven can not be understated. Randy Orton too even though that's not direct, I don't think.
Friends with Nash , Austin , Foley and Rick Rude too . What lessons he learned .
DDP is the man. Absolute legend
I watched DDP go from a manager of the diamond carral with Scott hall and Kevin Nash into DDP the wrestler and world champion at like 40 years later such an impressive guy and for Dusty rhodes to put him top five says alot
And that why when Cody won his wwe championship the first dinner he had ddp was there
I've meet both Jake the snake and ddp and I can tell you this they both have a big heart for people
My mom does that toe licking with our dog…it’s soo damn weird.😂😂😂😂
DDP is a great example of how you will always end up having a great life if you live in the mindset of giving rather than taking.
That is high praise.
Ddp on my top 50 wrestlers all time a legend
R.I.P To the American Dream!! 🙏🏽 All those old timers we're the foundation of the business that entertain us and got to were it is today!!!
DDP is that guy. Dude literally saved Jake's life, along with so many others. Guy is the closest thing you could find to a saint in wrestling.
Dusty Rhodes was the most GENUINE man to ever live.
Those 2 are 2 amazing mentors. Most people never get 1. It's no wonder Dallas took to the business so fast. I learned from a rando who spent 20 years on the Indies. He was good... In my mind he was good enough to make WWE especially in the weak years from 2006-2019.

Never heard a bad thing about Dusty or DDP
Heard a lot of bad things above dusty
There's only one DDP, this man is so special 🇬🇧👍🇬🇧👍
DDP will always be 1 of my favorite wrestlers all time...🙂 FEEL THE BANG!!!! 💎
I bet DDP felt great getting Jake back on track with his life
Murph, Marc, Joey. Thugzie.
I always loved Dusty Jake andDDP
DDP Is That Guy 🔥🔥💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
DDP deserved to be so much bigger. Hell of a professional and wrestler
What a sweet story
Dallas is the greatest human being to come out of wrestling. He's the genuine article.
we always glad my son was named dallas..I watched ddp alot on nitro..dangg those were the best day..if the done it Tuesday..these both be here..cause Tuesday was no wrestling ontv.
Rithkey bithness
Saw DDP and Jake at a convention in 2011. You could tell that those two had a brother like bond
For my money the Mount Rushmore of what modern wrestling is : Dusty Rhodes, Mick Foley, Triple H & William Regal
Repent and Believe in the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved🔥🔥🔥❤️🔥🕊️☝️✝️🙏
Once again, this proves that nobody who has ever worked with Dusty had a bad thing to say about him. I love DDP. RIP Dream. and Congratulations to Cody and his continued success as world champ :)
DDP is such a gem from a time when wrestling was full of guys of ill repute. Dude’s a saint. He should’ve been the face of the Warrior award.
DDP is the kind of friend not many have...loyal, always there to help, and NEVER forgets those that helped him.
Banana said this DDP could do so much I don't want to see his talent go to waste in the wrestling business.

I can't stand. Cody Rhodes Just Dusty Rhodes died when Cody Rose was 31 years old. Cry me a river at least you knew your dad. My dad died when I was a young child
I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone say a bad word about DDP or Dusty.
We all need a top 5.
DDP is an amazing human being. He would come into my Boston Market restaurant once a week and was polite to everyone. On the contrary other Atlanta celebrity customers wanted you to kiss their ass
Im still pissed the way WWE brought him in during the invasion angle and burried him 😠 😡 😤
This is really just unbelievable. The most demonic thing I’ve ever heard
Now I want to do a version of that, only like "Eric wanted you to know that he had only 5 real friends. Now when i can find his list, I'll let you know..."
DDP always seems like a good friend to have 🙏
I dont understand when and how DDP was around Jake to even he friends with him when DDP was in AWA in the 80s and Jake was in WWF.
Crazy to think that Dallas considers Jake a mentor and teacher, yet he's the one that helped get Jake's life back on track and essentially saved him.
I loved those matches between Dusty Rhodes & Ric Flair !
DDP dusty Rhodes and Jake da snake, and the next big thing ole shout-out to Magnum TA
I wonder if Vince knew that and was why he pushed that angle with DDP. would make fn sense tbh
Whats goin on with Dally’s face? He have a dip in or sumn?
Luv Dusty Rip big man💪💪🙏
Is this team no steroids? Cuz I love the sht out of ddp and I can tell he wasn’t on steroids and that’s why I loved him
DDP was my fav wrestler from wcw, the original peoples champ to me.
That's a good friend -Salute DDP
I knew about Jake the Snake didn’t know about dusty
I forgot that pluggers still exist 😆
Dusty you fell off also. You were an asshole from time to time 😢 rest in peace 🕊️
DDP holding his Denchers in with his lips, while talking, is wild.
Ddp and dusty friendship never fell on hard times daddy
Wwe did DDP dirty with his storyline he deserved better from them
MAAAAAYBE dont listen to jake so much
I mean damn, those are as good as it gets to pro wrestling mentorship !
Dusty has gotta be one of the most influential wrestlers of all time. His connection not just to the fans, but to the business, runs DEEP. Dusty had a hand in everything.
DDP Yoga saved my life. he is a true hero in my eyes.
Bros diamond cutters are showing
hmm… Cody cutter makes even more sense now…
so happy DDP is going to be DLC in w2k24
DDP has to be the leader of those that reinvent themselves.
Is there a better x wrestler as a person than DDP? Hard to beat.
Dusty Rhodes and DDP are the very best of us
And he was 35 when he started wrestling
Ddp integrity as a wrestler is priceless
Cody got his smile from his Dad.
Just be aware slot free throws for the Lakers
You can tell how much that meant to him, as well.
If u will...
I wish DDP had more time in the ring.
DDP in the place to be
I love Dusty and Cody both ❤
I want Diamond Paige Back
God I fucking love ddp
I love DDP! He is a solid dude!!
True true Legend facts 😎
I guess evil is only skin deep
Growing up watching the Monday Night Wars, I came to be a huge fan of DDP. He became one of my favorite wrestlers. I was always doing the Diamond Cutter gesture at school.
The WWE did him dirty when he came over after the merger.
He wasn't around for very long when compared to many other superstars but he is still one of my all-time favorites.
Still remember how he shaked up the wrestling world by giving a dimon cutter to Scott Hall as a rejection to join NWO.
Man, those were good times...
