Dustin Rhodes Comments on “My Meniscus Is Non-Existent In Both Of My Knees”

As noted before, Dustin Rhodes recently announced that he will need to undergo a “very invasive major” surgery soon, which was later revealed to be double knee replacement surgery.

Rhodes provided an update earlier today on Twitter stating that his meniscus is currently non-existent in both of his knees.

“My meniscus is non existent in both lol. It’s work ethic and love that pushes me through. Its people telling me to retire that pushes me even more! I am still, at 56, one of the greatest professional wrestlers in the world. Age s just a number. Sometimes you have to manifest shit and get it done. I absolutely know my time is nearing the end but NOT YET! Gotta get the world title as that should be every pro wrestlers goal.”
