Still one of the greatest promos of all time 37 years later.
Top 3 IMO
Such a great promo. It's 10X better unedited. The last half that was cut out gives me goose bumps.
And it always will be 💯

💯 💯 💯
To this day, this promo still has me mad at the "compu-tah" that took that person's job
Introducing AI
let's go get that "compu-tah!"
I lost my job last week to a compu-tah so that line resonates with me.
@@cHriiSzbEewouldn't even get a watch today.
Too bad he passed away 2 months before we got to see the highly anticipated Dusty vs the computah Hell in a Cubicle match at Wrestlemania
Dusty is my 2nd favorite black wrestler
Who’s 1?

Hard Times is for real, Dusty spoke some real shit here. Rest Well Dream 👑
"My father said, when i was younger, Hard Times breed Better Man"
Dusty is the only wrestler from this era who could go toe to toe with Flair on the mic and was better. He is the best talker in wrestling history in my opinion.
On the mic absolutely. In the ring? That one goes to ricky steamboat
Wrong. Jake Roberts, Randy Savage and Arn Anderson were just as good.
@@toma.4808And Randy Savage
You foo's are forgetting about SUPERSTAR BILLY GRAHAM!!!

This was Dustys best interview ever, straight from the heart.
He said it himself that his words were not scripted for that interview. It came straight from his heart
Rick Flair is who we wanted to be but we really were Dusty Rhodes. That’s why it popular and relatable
Hard times breed better men
Wrestling has more than one royal family
took it all away give it all away cant take my freedom ...
Rest up Dusty Rhodes 💎🧑🏽✈️
Riveting, compelling, resonating, the truth and still very much relevant to this day. R.I.P to the American Dream.
This shit never gets old!
Wrestling has more than one royal family
Adrenaline in my soul, something something Cody Rhodes
Dusty should have been a politician. Great promo artist.
Computer is gonna be AI, he predicted the future
Very prophetic Dusty, the computahs are on the verge of taking many jobs
Hard times. Hard times, daddeh!
Hard Times breed better computer
Now its AI took your Job Daddeh
@@irwinlagare9909😂😂😂😂😂 best part
Welcome to the American Nightmare 🇺🇸💀
Who's here after Cody finished the story?
I was not born at the right time to watch Dusty wrestle. This one promo tho, made me love and recognize the guy.
American Dream 🙌🏽
I was too young to see dusty Rhodes but I heard great stories and these promos prove how great he was
He spoke for the common man.. the blue collar workers… THE AMERICAN DREAM
Funny thing is, I always cheered for the heels, so I hated Dusty Rhodes back then. I was a teen at that time, but as I got older I grew to appreciate the American Dream, and now love seeing vids of Dusty. He had SOOOO much charisma!
Yes sir!!🇺🇸
I remember this promo. Gave me goosebumps then and now.
This speech is bigger than wrestling man just like a Marvin Gaye song we keep living in it
This speech gives Me
adrenaline in my soul...
Something something
Cody Rhodes
Woahhh🎶
The genius thing about this is that he positioned himself as a man of the middle poor class in the Reagan era. The lisp just gives it an authenticity that is hard to describe. One of my favorites entertainers!
Plus the southern accent
Well dusty grew up like that
Promo masterclass!
One of the top promos of all time. Dusty knew how to get the crowd on his side. Flair and the Four Horsemen knew how to draw heel heat like very few could. They were a perfect match for one another and in my opinion one could make a case for best all time feuds
.
For real, I'm 38 years old and went through hard times as a kid
Youre just a common man working hard for the man.
One of the greatest promos ever!
Man, Dusty knew how to cut a promo. Rest in Peace
Cody, you finished his story, dusty is proud of you
hard times daddy!
Dusty is truly the people's champ.
“You don’t know what hard times are daddeh”
Dusty Rhoads "The American Dream" lives strong in my veins STILLSl.!!
Dusty started it, Cody finished it!
All from the brilliant mind of Dusty Rhodes! If I recall, this was back in November, 1985 as I watched it when it first aired.
Perfect. He puts over Flair and the title, tells you why he needs to take it from him, and he explains his motivation, all the way down to the shout-out to Crockett Sr. L
I remembered when this first aired. I wanted to fight Flair after that.
Man I remember this as a kid. I was so emotionally invested in all this back then. Got to see Dusty live a few times in Richmond. Man I remember screaming my head off. When life was simpler.
Dayuummm… that last part aged WELL!
That tie is hangin on for dear life 😂😂😂😂Duthhhhhhtay Bay Baaaaayyyyy !!!
Dusty was not only a talented wrestler and the best talker in the business, but a prophet. The hard times he spoke of back then...we are still living in them today (and it's just getting worse)...
But hard times breed better men.
Thank you for everything, American Dream!
Rest in power!
Your spirit lives on through your son, who finally finished the story. ❤
"I will repay you now!" always sends shivers down my spine.
38 years ago today, and the words are as true as ever
this was me talking to the neighbor this morning lol
I can't wait to see his son do what he couldn't 💕
Dusty Rhodes for president. Still more alive than what we have.
“A computer took your place that’s hard times” here we are years later and that’s still the harsh reality of it all
Your boy is the WWE Universal Champ now Dusty… The entire wrestling world is proud of you and your boy.. Your boys been working hard in this business Dusty I know your proud!!
The Bull of the Woods
"...if you will. "
The first Black Heavyweight Champ ✊🏿
Facts!
I felt dat one
A brotha in Vanilla skin & a yellow fro no doubt ( Hard Times )
Dusty could mesmerize an audience with his promos. He didn’t have to perform great in the ring. He could literally talk people into a building.
"Hard times breed better men"
Quite possibly the greatest promo of all time. RIP Dusty
30 years only to hear a computer took your place.....rings hard today...Salute and RIP
Respect. A time when men act like men and being any other way would bring HARD TIMES.
Dusty and Cody have that same lisp 😂.
Dusty predicted the ai "revolution"
It’s easy to see why they put dusty in charge of promo class at the performance center.
God how prophetic is 80/90’s wrestling promos?.. especially from old NWA/WCW the TBS superstation days!!!
"Hard Times" LEGENDARY promo!
Spoke for Everyman. A legend. Very inspiring Daddy
"Rik Fleya!"
THE GREATEST WRESTLER OF ALL TIME!!! "THE DREAM BABY", "BULL OF THE WOODS", "PARTING WITH BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN"!!!!!!
Best promo of all time
Can’t pay the wages, can’t buy the food … hard times
The most brilliant, poignant, and captivating promo I have ever heard. I was a teenager in 1985 when I heard this. It was perfectly set up by what would become the Four Horsemen breaking his leg and him returning to face his nemesis and arch rival.
Unlike today, his promo’s weren’t scripted.
Goosebumps 😮
RIP DREAM ❤
As a child I didn’t understand this fully……years later it’s hard times indeed
Crazy how this is almost a social commentary on contemporary issues of the day.
_It's impressive how a 37 y/o promo can ring true on this current times....._
If Ric Flair gave hard times to Dusty, does that mean he breed him better men?
Dusty was one of the realest talents to ever lace a pair of boots or grab a mic. And his sons are doing a tremendous job carrying on his legacy.
#godblessandrestthelegend💯
Classic 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
One of the best promos ever rip dusty
Rest in Peace, Comrade Dusty
big dusty
The late, great Dusty Rhodes......man puts the best talkers of this modern era to shame..... his feuds with Ric Flair and The Four Horsemen are legendary..... WWE held Dusty down......gave him goofy gimmicks......but that don't tarnish his legacy, his greatness, and his selfless contributions to the world of sports entertainment......
Smartest man in the world.
A computah took your place daddeh
Today's wrestling does not come close !!!! No one has the mic like the legendary wrestling of the past !!!!
Dusty could ran for president with that speech
POV your here from WM
Still to this day, one of he best on the Mic
Who's ready to experience hard times in WWE 😂
when the business was real...no matter what they boo and cheer with FEELING!
And to this day this is the Hardest Promo still!
:Dusty rhodes has been Inducted into the African American Hall of fame!
:His son cody will follow
"No Honor Amongst Thieves Dad-Day"
😂🤣
I’m impressed tubby lived as long as he did.
Best promo of all time
And spitting facts and bars
Iconic promo daddy
This guy would kill everything and everyone on the mic, the only thing he didn't kill was the business itself! 🙏🏻 #RIPDustyRhodes
"Compudah" 😂
The King 👑 DUSTY American Dream RHODES.
Hard times daddy!! Finish the story, Cody!!!! 👊🏽
