Great memories of me and my sister on saturday afternoons wrestling on the floor and watching Dusty the American Dream. She could get me in a leg lock and one time made me pee myself from pain and laughter.Dusty could put on a show and was the first great wrestling star.Rest In Peace and thank you for the memories.
