DustyRhodes is without a doubt one of the most charismatic, entertaining, and famous wrestlers of all-time.
Dusty was probably the most loved wrestler in the sport from the mid-1970's throughout the 1980's, consistently drawing exceptionally large crowds wherever he wrestled, be it the N.W.A (and later, WCW), the WW(W)F, the A.W.A, Japan, or anywhere else the nomadic grappler roamed during his 20+ year career.
Dusty would bounce back, though, and 2 years later he again defeated Race for the NWA World title on June 21, 1981 in Atlanta, GA. Dusty defended the title 4 to 5 nights per week during his 2nd reign, and it was that heavy schedule that would help end his it after just 4 months.
Rhodes achieved immediate success at UNF -- in his first two years guiding the Ospreys to a 100-28 record -- the first time a beginning baseball program, at any level, has recorded 100 wins in two seasons.
Rhodes was inducted into the Palm Beach County Sports Hall of Fame in 1989 for his outstanding contributions to the baseball program at Palm Beach Junior College.
A 1964 graduate of West Palm Beach High School, Rhodes received an associate of arts degree from PBJC in 1966, a bachelor's degree in physical education from Florida Southern College in 1969 and a master's degree in education from Florida Atlantic University in 1973.
