The following are highlights from the panelists:

-Ric Flair recalled a funny story of Rhodes ribbing him once. Rhodes told Flair he would be appearing on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson, and Flair stayed up watching the whole show on which Rhodes never appeared.

-Flair said he originally wanted to be “Ramblin” Ricky Rhodes when he started in pro wrestling because of Dusty.

-JJ Dillon credited the success of The Four Horsemen to Dusty Rhodes as Dillon said Rhodes feuding with The Horsemen is what made the group.

-Jerry Lawler wanted to team up with Rhodes in Memphis.
