Dustin Rhodes Says Approaching 55 Years Of Age, He Would Like Brief Run As AEW’s TNT Champion
“The Natural” is still having fun.
Dustin Rhodes recently spoke with Denise Salcedo for an in-depth interview, during which he spoke about how he’s still having fun 35 years into his wrestling career, and how at age 55 he would like a short run with the TNT Championship.
“If you look at my career, 35 years is such a long time,” he said. “I have wrestled everybody. At this point, I just want to have fun. I would like to win the TNT Title, but you have to realize I’m almost 55 years old.”
He continued, “Still, I want it, maybe a weeks worth run with it. It just depends on what the boss wants to do. I love what I’m doing and at this point, it’s about having fun and passing on my knowledge and the kids taking something that I teach them and then pulling it off and getting a reaction, that’s the payoff. That’s what the second part of my legacy is about.”
