This one's easy. ^_^
He's old, fat, can't talk right, *AND* he's also Rich and Famous. People in *Uganda* know who this guy is....does anyone know who *you* are?
Really. And the freaky part of it is....the part that *makes* it the American Dream is:
He's always *been* like this. Ok, maybe not as old, but he's always been fat, always talked funny, and you know what?
He's *made a Good Living* off of just plain *acting like* he's already Rich and Famous. He is living proof of the whole idea of Fake It Until You Make It. He is what would happen if Paris Hilton *started* from the Trailer Park and *bluffed* her way all the way up to being the billionaire heiress.
Or, the idea of "If I can make it here *Anyone* can." He might have been mediocre to sucky at wrestling, ok....but he was *really* good at being Dusty Rhodes. He was really good at convincing folks that he was the greatest thing.
And yeah....it's kafaybe. We get it. ^_^ Which is also why the American Dream is like Dusty Rhodes....
Because we *get it* that the game is rigged, that for most of us the rat-race as a whole is *not* a genuine competition, but a *show* of it designed to make the Rich Guys Richer. We get it.
So did he, and he nonetheless found a way to *play the game* and *Win some*. In spite of being this fat, fugly guy who couldn't talk right. But hey, if it is any consolation, this couldn't *possibly* happen in today's youth-and-pretty-looks oriented WWE. People just wouldn't let someone that "fugly" work his game anymore. They wouldn't let an "ordinary" guy just work for a living, oh no....you have to be a "superstar" and do some *backfilps* while you suck up.
That good enough for you? ^_^ Is it enough to stop you from being jealous that he *got away* with what he did, now that you know that the thing is *fixed* to keep it from happening again?
Just asking....thanks for your time.

when he was a kid he went to work with his dad because they didnt spend much time together
so dusty worked also
so they could spend more time together
dusty would dig holes about 5-10 ft around and about 15 feet down by himself
somebody who worked with them said to dusty's dad
"thats the real american dream"

at the time dusty started,,it was the american dream to own your own home,be a self sustaining man,,and do something your peers haven`t done...,,He was a small town boy,,and he made it big,,and he was self sufficient,,and he made his family proud,,and that was the "American Dream"

It because when he was wrestling of what you said he is fat and ugly. Who is fat and ugly most Americans so they looked up at him because he was just like them but he had accomplished so much.
