Before WWE known as the WWF even became prominent, Wrestling was dominated by two men.
Ric Flair and Dusty Rhodes.
Their feud is so legendary it is spoken about in near mythical terms, so I would image Flair heart is hurting over the news his friend, mentor and greatest rival has passed away.

Here is more from Flair.
“Today I lost one of my greatest opponents and greatest friends. He was the definition of heart and soul and I’m honored to have shared the ring with him countless times.
“He became the ‘American Dream’ because wrestling needed a hero they could respect, and he was the man for the job. Dusty Rhodes, I will miss you my mentor and friend.”
