Wrestler death(s): On this day in 2015, wrestling legend Dusty Rhodes passed away from natural causes. Rhodes made a brief appearance in ECW back in late 1999-2000 where he feuded with "King of Old School" Steve Corino, with the two having a Texas Bullrope Match at ECW Living Dangerously 2000 on March 12th, 2000. Dusty left a lasting legacy in the business and two of his sons are both active professional wrestlers with his younger son Cody Rhodes being one of the biggest names in the WWE currently and his older son Dustin Rhodes (formerly Goldust) still appearing in All Elite Wrestling (the company that Cody Rhodes helped to form back in 2019 before he left to return to the WWE in 2022).
