I've struggled all day to write something about @WWEDustyRhodes …

And yet, hours later, I cannot possibly express my feelings for @WWEDustyRhodes in 140 characters …
— Paul Heyman (@HeymanHustle) June 12, 2015
Not 140. Not 280. Not 420. @WWEDustyRhodes was not someone whose impact should be constrained by a limited number of words or characters.

. @WWEDustyRhodes embraced my passion to learn about the behind-the-scenes working of the business even before I started performing.
— Paul Heyman (@HeymanHustle) June 12, 2015
. @WWEDustyRhodes not only hired me for #SuperStationTBS when I was 23 … how many TWENTY THREE YEAR OLDS get to play in the big leagues?

. @WWEDustryRhodes: "f 'em all,kid.Don't ACT like u belong in their locker room. KNOW they should be honored sharing the locker room w/YOU!"

I've started on this multi-tweet diatribe, and I know in my heart I'm failing in my task of presenting my own eulogy for @WWEDustyRhodes.
— Paul Heyman (@HeymanHustle) June 12, 2015
I told @SteveAustinBSR on the @WWENetwork the story of @WWEDustyRhodes trying to teach me to ask myself "where's the money" in every promo.
— Paul Heyman (@HeymanHustle) June 12, 2015
, @WWEDustyRhodes tried to teach me that in 1988. And now, 27 years later, I'm just starting to truly understand what he was teaching me.

I find these "now that he's passed, I have something to say about him" messages to be so self-serving, self-aggrandizing. @WWEDustyRhodes
— Paul Heyman (@HeymanHustle) June 12, 2015
And ultimately, this message is no different. @WWEDustyRhodes meant so much to so many, and I was/am just one the many.

As I am writing this, someone just sent me this clip from the #PaulHeymanDVD about @WWEDustyRhodes … https://t.co/sWk2S8LcRn

OK, I've been babbling for a while. I could on for days. And @WWEDustyRhodes DESERVED a several-days-long-eulogy, especially from me.
— Paul Heyman (@HeymanHustle) June 12, 2015
I guess, after all these years, I still need to keep reminding myself to think about the "money statements" and not just AMOUNT of verbiage.
— Paul Heyman (@HeymanHustle) June 12, 2015
Thank you, @WWEDustyRhodes. For all you did for this industry. For all you did for so many. And, selfishly, for all you did for me.
