Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
There has been much said about Dusty Rhodes, the 'American Dream,' over the years by both his fans and peers. Aside from the frequent fictional prose penned by wrestling magazine journalists and internet smart marks that run rumor-mill websites, however, there has not been much written about him. Until now. With the exception of a select few, there has been no bigger name or personality in the annals of pro wrestling history than Dusty Rhodes. Of those few, none of them can claim the compelling back story Rhodes shares in Dusty: Reflections of an American Dream of an industry plagued with political loyalties and disloyalties, greedy promoters, manipulative bookers, destructive personalities, multi-millionaires, and great leaders. Behind the 'million-dollar smile' and the million dollar gate receipts is a man with a story to tell not just of tall tales, yarns, and fabrications, but of a life filled with aspirations, dreams, disappointments, challenges, controversies, and conflict.

A lot of people criticize Dusty for his ego but really that's just Dusty being Dusty and he even admits that several times throughout the book. I don't think he hates Hogan as some other reviewers have said... but I do think he is a little miffed that Hogan came along when he did and got the attention Dusty thinks he would have had without "Yellowfinger".
My main complaint is the vulgar language. I didn't like Jericho's book for the same reason. There is no excuse for it. Use your brains, increase your vocabulary, buy a dictionary and write without the vulgarities.
This is not a book I would read again and at times was hard to get through the very first time.

Dusty is a self-promoter. That is ok, he is a wrestler and that is the name of the game, you have to promote yourself to be larger than life or you will not get anywhere.
Dusty's book is full of promise but it doesn't really make the grade when it comes to delivering on the promise. He has a wealth of knowledge and stories and we see very little of it.
Readable but not a classic.

i'll never forgive dusty for ripping me off. his book is a total waste of money. i'm trying to get some use out of the book by using it as toilet paper. his dvd sucks too.

Quite discouraging. This guy is the man I grew up with on Saturday nights watching TBS. My all time favorite wrestler, and 2nd favorite interview. I even have a Dusty Rhodes doll. However, this book is terrible. Way too many expletives that just are not needed. Terrible grammar and editing. Story line is at the same time disjointed and repetitive. Way worse than Flair's "To Be the Man."

Keeping this short and to the point.
Although not even half way though it ,Dustys book is doing my head in .
His shameless self promoting /name droping/ disreguard for time lines is just to much.
Moving onto JJ Dillions book instead.
Read it ,If you will
But have pain pills on hand
