Was Dusty Rhodes ever a WWE champion?

Dusty Rhodes, otherwise known as "The American Dream" was one of the most influential figures in the sport of professional wrestling.

Dusty Rhodes may have done it all during his illustrious career, but the big question ever since has always been: Was WWE Champion Among List Of Accolades For Dusty.

The Legacy of Dusty Rhodes

Virgil Riley Runnels Jr., born October 12, 1945, was better known as Dusty Rhodes and broke into professional wrestling during the golden era. With the help of his charismatic personality, extraordinary mic skills and in-ring talents he captured the hearts of millions worldwide.

But Rhodes was more than just a wrestler; he was also an artist in the truest form, helping to shape and mold stories that helped advance pro wrestling as we know it today, especially during his NWA/Jim Crockett Promotions run.

Dusty Rhodes' Stint in WWE

Dusty Rhodes was a star in numerous different wrestling arenas, even the WWE then known as the World Wrestling Federation.

A key player in the late 1980s arrival of what became WWE, he worked as both an on-air talent and a creative force behind the scenes.

His time in WWE saw him main event, he could sing his own ring entrance themes and more.

The WWE Albums, Dusty Rhodes

One must remember when talking about Dusty Rhodes' history of championships in the WWE, he was never a wwe champion.

Although he was a popular mainstay, Rhodes never reached the mountain top in WWE with regards to its singles titles.

However, it is worth noting that Rhodes did not need to have a WWE Championship run in order for his name and legend continued from Mat an era lost long ago.

Non-WWE Championships

The one title – the WWE Championship -- that Dusty Rhodes never won pales in comparison to all of his championing triumphs.

It should be noted that Rhodes was a major star in the NWA, and even held their top championship (the NWA World Heavyweight Championship) several times over his career.

He will be forever linked with classic feuds against legends like Ric Flair, leaving a lasting legacy on pro wrestling as one of the most iconic figures ever.

Legacy and Influence

The impact of Dusty Rhodes goes beyond title reigns

His legacy in the industry is shown by fans' continued love and appreciation for him, as well as his peers and others within wrestling having tons of fond memories about him.

The (real) DUSTY RHODES legacy in WWE is multi-layered, but it includes a great many things that should follow him through the gates of Valhalla before nostalgia for his single world title run.

Although he did not capture the WWE Title during his stint with the organization, just his influence, creativity and how long-lasting of an impact he had in wrestling solidify him as a true icon.
