Rhodes focused on weight loss...one week before his death
Posted: Jun 12th 2015 By: TMZ.com
Dusty Rhodes was laser focused on improving his health when he met with fellow wrestling legend Jerry Brisco last week, and feeling good about his prognosis.
Brisco -- who's known Rhodes for decades -- tells TMZ Sports they hung out in Orlando last Thursday, and Rhodes talked about how he was going to the doctor regularly. He'd been
told he needed to bring his blood pressure down, and Brisco says Dusty's weight loss was helping.
Rhodes and Brisco were planning to go to an event Thursday night in Tampa to raise money for a wrestling wall of fame. Jerry says it won't be the same, but he's still going so he
can gather with other wrestlers and fans to share Dusty stories.
