Dustin Rhodes Delays Retirement Plans

Dustin Rhodes has delayed his retirement plans, with ‘The Natural’ set to continue his in-ring carer for a little longer.

Rhodes had originally stated that 2023 was to be his last year in the ring, but during an interview with Sports Guys Talking Wrestling, the former Goldust revealed that he has had a slight change of heart:

“The older I get, the harder it gets, but 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 and so far being here for the five years here in my 50s, I’m doing amazing. I’ve not had one bad match and it’s been pretty cool to think back of all the good matches I’ve had here in AEW and I’ve wrestled everybody. It’s unbelievable, but it has been on my mind,” said Rhodes.

Dustin continued; "Last year I said I have one year left and I’m going past that. I don’t want to say that again because you never say never, but I see myself 2-4 more years if my legs allow me to. If Tony Khan is gratuitous enough to keep me around and keep me on television, that’s great. Whatever I can do to help, but I love producing too. That’s also what I can fall back on, so there’s a lot of good things going here. I got a lot. I take it one day at a time and one show at a time. Whatever Tony gives me, I’ll go out there and blow it out of the park and have some fun and I’ll be sore for a week and a half after."
