We have this report via Yahoo Sports:

Rhodes career began in the 1970s and continued into the 90s.

In one of the great professional wrestling gimmicks, Rhodes was once banned from wrestling in the state of Florida for 60 days after losing a match.

Days later, a masked wrestler who called himself The Midnight Rider showed up on the scene. Like Rhodes, The Midnight Rider was over 6 feet tall, weighed around 265 pounds and talked with a bit of a drawl. The Midnight Rider faced Ric Flair, Rhode’s arch rival, in an NWA heavyweight title fight in 1983. The Midnight Rider won the match and was asked to take off his mask. He refused and was stripped of the title he’d just won.

The father of two other wrestlers, Goldust (Dustin Runnels) and Stardust (Cody Runnels), Dusty remained active in the WWE long after his retirement from wrestling.

We send our condolences go out to Dusty’s family, friends and WWE fans.
