It’s not know what Dusty Rhodes died from though he was still relatively young at 69.
He leaves behind four sons, two of whom also joined the WWE.
Rhodes, who famously rocked polka dot tights during his legendary career, was inducted to the WWE Hall of Fame in 2007.
Dusty had 4 children — including two sons who also became wrestling superstars — Goldust (Dustin Runnels) and Stardust (Cody Runnels).
The WWE issued a statement saying, “WWE extends its sincerest condolences to Runnels’ family, friends and colleagues.”
