Ringside Review: Golddust going to the chapel
Wedding bells are about to ring for WWE superstar Dustin “Golddust” Runnels.
Dustin will marry his girlfriend of 1-1/2 years, Milena, on the beach in Destin, Fla. They will then stop off at Oklahoma City, Okla., on their way to Honolulu.
Their plans were made as soon as they heard that the WWE would be in Honolulu for two shows Jan. 2-3. Dakota, his 8-year-old daughter, will be the ring bearer and his dad, “American Dream” Dusty Rhodes, will be his best man. Mom and two of his sisters are all that will be in the wedding.
Milena owns her own business, Elite Graphic Design, and had never been a wrestling fan until she met Dustin.
Ex-wife Terry is also planning a trip down the aisle, and is reportedly close to setting a date with her man, Perry Saturn.
• Did you know Warren Sapp of the NFL’s Tampa Bay Buccaneers has a brother in pro wrestling?
Bob Sapp is working in New Japan Wrestling, and will be in action Jan. 19 against Ernesto Hoost. Sapp is 6-foot-5, 350 pounds, and could be headed to the WWE next. Jim Ross says he “is a real man in the ring.”
• Rocky Johnson signed a lengthy contract with the WWE this week to work with Ohio Valley Wrestling, the WWE’s training center in Louisville. He also will travel with the WWE to work with the younger stars.
Rocky and his son Dwayne may wrestle as a tag team at a later date. Rocky and The Rock? Sounds good!
Did you know: Rocky Johnson and Tony Atlas were the first African-American duo to hold the WWF tag team championship.
