Dustin Rhodes Comments on His AEW Career & Not Ready to Retire from Wrestling Yet

Sports Illustrated held a recent interview with Dustin Rhodes. One of the topics discussed included Rhodes’ thoughts about his current career in AEW and enjoying every opportunity he has gotten in the company.

“I worked hard to get here, and I’m still working hard to get better. AEW is a great place. The schedule is better for my body, and I’m still putting in the work. I love this business, it has been great to me. My job is to pass on my knowledge.
I’m working with the best talent on the planet, and I can hang with anybody. I’m damn proud of that. I’m enjoying every opportunity Tony [Khan] gives me. If Tony asks me to work a one-hour match on Dynamite, I would. I live for this. I get a chance to entertain people at the wrestling matches. My whole life, that’s what I’ve wanted.”

Rhodes also gave his thoughts about the future of his wrestling career and not being ready to retire yet.

“I’ve thought about retirement, but I’m just not ready. 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.”
