During a recent edition of the “Busted Open Radio” podcast, WWE Hall of Famer Bully Ray commented on Dustin Rhodes’ career winding down, Rhodes’ mindset for the wrestling business, and more.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On Dustin Rhodes’ career winding down: “It actually bothers me because I don’t think Dustin Rhodes’ career winding down is because Dustin wants his career to wind down. You can tell that he is still extremely passionate about being in the ring. And every time Dustin is in the ring, he turns in a great performance … I am not an ageist in wrestling. If you can go, you can go. If you’re over, you’re over. If you can get other talent over, even better.”
On Rhodes’ mindset: “I think Dustin has been put in a position where he has not been utilized enough, and maybe in his mind now, because he doesn’t get utilized, it’s like, ‘All right, maybe my better days are behind me. Maybe I’m not wanted as much anymore.’”
On Rhodes still having value in the ring: “I would be taking advantage of Dustin, especially just because of the Rhodes name. Nothing about what I see from Dustin, hear from Dustin, the shape he’s gotten himself into, his work rate, leads me to believe that this guy truly wants out of the ring.”
