TMZ.com has obtained audio of the 911 phone call made by Dusty Rhodes’ wife when the WWE Hall of Famer collapsed in his Florida home.

The report notes:

The call was made on June 10th at 5:56 AM — you can hear Dusty’s wife say, “I need help. My husband has fallen. He’s very sick. I need help.”

The operator snipes back, “They’re coming as fast as they can. Me talking to you is not stopping them.”

Dusty’s wife thanks the 911 operator and gets off the phone … and that’s when you hear the operator breathe a giant exasperated sigh.

Sean “X-Pac” Waltman took to Twitter this morning to voice his disgust over TMZ releasing the audio from a 911 call made by the wife of the “American Dream” Dusty Rhodes, just one day prior to his unexpected passing on June 11th.

   Dear @TMZ & @HarveyLevinTMZ,

   I have defended you to critics & Twitter followers when they say you’re not a legit news source. If you weren’t, so much of the media wouldn’t be citing you as their source for stories. I never minded any story you’ve reported on me, as I take responsibility for my actions & accept the consequences. That being said, Myself & I dare say countless others are completely disgusted with your policy of releasing 911 calls from families desperately pleading for someone to save their loved one. The recent release of the 911 Call from the family of Dusty Rhodes & the release of Ric Flair’s 911 call when his son Reid died is shameful & sickening. You can defend it as being newsworthy, but in reality you’re just feeding the sickening thirst for this kind of voyeurism in today’s society. The late, great Randy Savage’s father(also deceased) Angelo Poffo, who wrestled as The Mi$er had a saying that went “Where money lies, Honor dies.” Is there really that much money made by airing these calls, so your followers can hear these people at arguably the worst moments of their lives? Maybe there is enough money in it for you to trade in your honor. I’m usually a fan, but completely disgusted by your lack of discretion.

   Truly, Sean Waltman
