Rhodes’ birthday was today, causing a wave of tweets from wrestling personalities throughout the world.

I was sat with Dusty in his office at the PC one day and his family arrived, Dustin, Cody & their wives.They started to discuss about his health problems that were not really known. I went to leave and Dusty said “Stay there Steven, you’re like family”.Thank you for everything X. pic.twitter.com/8CTMGuLJNs
