Dustin Rhodes thinks that the NWA has lost a lot of prestige.
Given his family's history with the belt, fans have often pondered on the idea of Dustin Rhodes chasing the NWA Worlds Heavyweight Championship. The scenario has seemed unlikely for years, with Rhodes being under contract with either WWE or AEW for over a decade at this point.
While appearing on the latest edition of the Battleground podcast, Dustin Rhodes was asked about winning the title, prompting 'The Natural' to give his thoughts on the belt and the NWA as a whole.
"That’s something that I’ve thought about. At the same time, the NWA of today is not the same as it used to be. I think it’s lost a lot of its prestige. Nothing wrong with what the NWA is doing. They’re trying to get their platform going. It’s just changed a lot and it’s different. The spark has gone from the Ten Pounds of Gold. That is also something that my brother and dad have had. It would be cool for all three of us to have it. It would be historic. No other family has done that, which would be really cool."
Elsewhere in the interview, Rhodes said that he wants to get his WCW theme back. Check out his full comments by clicking here.
