Don't count Dustin Rhodes out just yet.
Despite being 35 years into his career, it does not appear like 'The Natural' is slowing down anytime soon, as he is still competing on a regular basis for All Elite Wrestling. Throughout his long and historic career, Rhodes has also spent time with WWE, WCW, TNA, and the NWA.
Rhodes previously said that 2023 would be his last year in wrestling, but it appears that he has changed his mind and decided to continue his career in the sport.
"I’ve thought about retirement, but I’m just not ready." said Rhodes in a new interview with Sports Illustrated. “My mind, my heart, and my soul are too much in love with this. So I’ll go until the wheels fall off. My love for wrestling, that drives me. It makes me hungrier. I am putting all of my passion and grit into everything I do.”
Back in February, Rhodes said that he has two to four years left in wrestling if his legs hold up. Learn more about those comments here.
Rhodes faced off against Samoa Joe on the April 10 episode of AEW Dynamite. If you missed anything from the show, check out Fightful's recap here.
