<p>is it not wierd that there is no video of such a big name?</p><p>ive checked a few dusty rhodes best of dvds and they dont mention the rider either.</p><p>it would be cool if peeps kept there eyes open for a clip so i can make a wee vid for the unmasking </p><p>(not that im insinuating that they will ever catch the rider of course)&nbsp;</p>

<p>This was an enormous ommission on the Dusty DVD set, unless they are still portaying the gimmick to the hilt that Dusty was NOT the Midnight Rider.&nbsp; Which would be fine if we could get Rider DVD.&nbsp; He had two runs that I can tell, 1983 in Florida which I never saw nor remember.&nbsp; His title win there as I recall was that he beat Flair for the strap, but was ordered to unmask(Dusty had either been suspended or lost a loser leaves town match).&nbsp; Being that Dusty was going to be suspended for life if he unmasked, he gave up the belt and thats an unrecognized reign for Big Dust and loss for Flair.</p><p>&nbsp;The second run came after he defended Magnum TA from a beatdown by the Horsemen and took a baseball bat to Tully and Arn in the TBS Studios.&nbsp; If memory serves, Big Dust was the U.S. Champion then, he was stripped of the title and there was a 7 man tornament.&nbsp; I believe he was put on the shelf for 90 days and he may or may not have competed in that tornament, but I know Barry Windham, recently turned heel, won it.&nbsp; I remember there was a stipulation I think at a crockett cup match where Dusty had to be in the Midnight Rider's corner for a match, against Windham or Tully I believe(maybe Flair, one of the Horsemen).&nbsp; It was probably Windham in a title versus mask match and the Rider lost and it was revealed to be The Italian Stallion, who was conservatively, 80 lbs lighter than Dusty at that time.&nbsp; That was the last of the Rider that I know of until he blew up that Santa Fe trail Daddy into the XM Studios.</p>

Amazing video, any chance of throwing up the raw footage of the rider ? Great work either way!

I thought this had to deal with our Big Ass fight night!

Okay so I never watch wrestling but last night it was either that, Nascar on HSN or Doctor Phil.&nbsp; During one of the breaks they ran an add for Dusty Roads being inducted into the WWF hall of fame and I was dying laughing hearing his/MNR's lines and then to top it off a quick glimpse of Saphire.&nbsp; Good Times...
