Rhodes, known as “The American Dream,” was also known for wearing a polka-dotted outfit during his heyday as a professional wrestler, and he held three titles.
Rhodes apparently suffered numerous complications from the fall that ultimately led to his passing. He is also father to WWE wrestlers Goldust (Dustin Runnels) and Stardust (Cody Runnels).
