Paul Heyman tweeted the following last night about the late Dusty Rhodes:<\/p>\n
I’ve struggled all day to write something about @WWEDustyRhodes …
\n\u2014 Paul Heyman (@HeymanHustle) June 12, 2015<\/p>\n
And yet, hours later, I cannot possibly express my feelings for @WWEDustyRhodes in 140 characters …
\n\u2014 Paul Heyman (@HeymanHustle) June 12, 2015<\/p>\n
Not 140. Not 280. Not 420. @WWEDustyRhodes was not someone whose impact should be constrained by a limited number of words or characters.
\n\u2014 Paul Heyman (@HeymanHustle) June 12, 2015<\/p>\n
. @WWEDustyRhodes embraced my passion to learn about the behind-the-scenes working of the business even before I started performing.
\n\u2014 Paul Heyman (@HeymanHustle) June 12, 2015<\/p>\n
. @WWEDustyRhodes not only hired me for #SuperStationTBS when I was 23 … how many TWENTY THREE YEAR OLDS get to play in the big leagues?

. @WWEDustryRhodes: “f ’em all,kid. Don’t ACT like u belong in their locker room. KNOW they should be honored sharing the locker room w\/YOU!”

I’ve started on this multi-tweet diatribe, and I know in my heart I’m failing in my task of presenting my own eulogy for @WWEDustyRhodes.
\n\u2014 Paul Heyman (@HeymanHustle) June 12, 2015<\/p>\n
I told @SteveAustinBSR on the @WWENetwork the story of @WWEDustyRhodes trying to teach me to ask myself “where’s the money” in every promo.
\n\u2014 Paul Heyman (@HeymanHustle) June 12, 2015<\/p>\n
, @WWEDustyRhodes tried to teach me that in 1988. And now, 27 years later, I’m just starting to truly understand what he was teaching me.
\n\u2014 Paul Heyman (@HeymanHustle) June 12, 2015<\/p>\n
I find these “now that he’s passed, I have something to say about him” messages to be so self-serving, self-aggrandizing. @WWEDustyRhodes
\n\u2014 Paul Heyman (@HeymanHustle) June 12, 2015<\/p>\n
And ultimately, this message is no different. @WWEDustyRhodes meant so much to so many, and I was\/am just one the many.

As I am writing this, someone just sent me this clip from the #PaulHeymanDVD about @WWEDustyRhodes … https:\/\/t.co\/sWk2S8LcRn

If you have any memories about @WWEDustyRhodes, please feel free to send them over.
\n\u2014 Paul Heyman (@HeymanHustle) June 12, 2015<\/p>\n
We’ll RT some. We’ll post some on the Hustle website. And I promise to read every one of them personally. @WWEDustyRhodes
\n\u2014 Paul Heyman (@HeymanHustle) June 12, 2015<\/p>\n
OK, I’ve been babbling for a while. I could on for days. And @WWEDustyRhodes DESERVED a several-days-long-eulogy, especially from me.
\n\u2014 Paul Heyman (@HeymanHustle) June 12, 2015<\/p>\n
I guess, after all these years, I still need to keep reminding myself to think about the “money statements” and not just AMOUNT of verbiage.
\n\u2014 Paul Heyman (@HeymanHustle) June 12, 2015<\/p>\n
Thank you, @WWEDustyRhodes. For all you did for this industry. For all you did for so many. And, selfishly, for all you did for me.
