Dustin Rhodes Comments on Future of His Wrestling Career

A recent episode of the Sports Guys Talk Wrestling podcast featured Dustin Rhodes as the guest. One of the topics discussed included Rhodes’ thoughts about his belief that he has around two to four years left in his in-ring wrestling career.

“The older I get, the harder it gets. The thing about me is my work ethic. I work hard and every time that red light is on, I try to do my very best. So far, being here for the five years that I have, in my 50’s, I’m doing amazing. I’ve not had one bad match. It’s been pretty cool to think back of all the good matches I’ve had in AEW. I’ve wrestled everybody. It’s unbelievable. [Retirement] has been on my mind. Last year, I said I got one year left, and I’m going past that. I don’t want to say that again because you never say never, right? I see myself, two to four more years, if my legs allow me to. If Tony Khan is gracious enough to keep me around and keep me on television, that’s great. Whatever I can do to help. I love producing, too, so that’s also what I can fall back on. There are a lot of good things going on there; I have a lot. I take it one day at a time and one show at a time. Whatever Tony gives me, I go out there, and I’m going to blow it out of the park and have some fun. I’ll be sore for a week and a half after.”
