The Undertaker Advocates For Dustin Rhodes To Receive WWE Hall Of Fame Induction
He feels it's a matter of when, not if.
Dec 4, 2023
The Undertaker believes Dustin Rhodes (AKA Goldust) should join him in the WWE Hall of Fame.
Speaking on his Six Feet Under podcast, The Deadman was asked whether he thought The Bizarre One deserved an induction, to which he replied:
"Absolutely. 100%. This is a semantics thing at this point. I would imagine at some point, down the road. I think his resume is Hall of Fame worthy. Obviously, we know the one stickler right now and I think at some point that goes away. Then I couldn't see too much time probably going by that he wouldn't be induced".
The 'stickler' that 'Taker is referring to is the fact that Rhodes is currently signed to All Elite Wrestling, where he works as both an on-screen talent and backstage coach.
Continuing, the 58-year-old praised Dustin's ability to embrace the character and make it his own, saying:
"He embraced that character. He made it his own. A lot of people talk about me and my character and making it my own but he did that with Goldust. Dustin comes from that traditional wrestling style too with his dad Dusty. But to go so far in another direction than Dusty or what Dustin had done up to that point. That's a big roll of the dice".
Last year, Rhodes announced that 2023 would be his last in wrestling. However, the 54-year-old reportedly signed a contract extension with AEW in July (keeping him with the company through at least September 2024).
