10 Wrestlers Who Had A Late Career Renaissance
10 wrestlers who enjoyed a late career renaissance
8. Dustin Rhodes
From gifted rookie in WCW to androgynous face-painted movie buff in WWE to whatever the hell was going on in TNA, Dustin Rhodes has always kept himself afloat in the wrestling business, but it took a match against his own flesh and blood to make people realise what a legend he truly was.
At Double or Nothing 2019, AEW’s first official pay-per-view, the Natural went to war with his half-brother Cody. In a match so bloody it would have put the Great Muta off his tea, Cody and Dustin duked it out in one of the most emotional wrestling matches of all time, with the elder Rhodes showing that he could still pull out all the stops half a century into his time on earth.
Though he’s not quite reached those lofty heights since, this was enough to ensure Dustin’s legacy as one of the all-time greats and erase any memories of some of his darker days. Rhodes has since been a relied-upon part of the AEW roster.
