41 years ago today Dusty Rhodes cut the legendary ‘HARD TIMES’ promo:
“Hard times are when the textile workers around this country are out of work, and got four or five kids, and can't pay the wages, can't buy the food, hard times, or when the auto workers are out of work, and they tell them, go home, and hard times are when a man is working a job, 30 years, 30 years. They give him a watch, kick him in the butt, and say, hey, a computer took your place, daddy”
(1985)
