Jake “The Snake” Roberts has lavished praise on Dustin Rhodes, calling the AEW wrestler/producer one of wrestling’s most underrated stars.
On a recent edition of his “Snake Pit” podcast, Roberts spoke about the veteran while watching a match between Jake and Dustin from WCW. He said,
“Dustin Rhodes is probably one of the most underrated wrestlers out there. He can do it all; he’s been doing it all for years. He gets right there close to the top, but never quite gets it all. And they miss the boat. Sometimes your best workers aren’t the guys in the main event.”
Roberts also spoke about Rhodes’ work with AEW that happens backstage. He said,
“He pretty much runs all the women’s stuff. That’s just…he’s done an incredible job, unbelievable job. It’s just like his ringwork. Unbelievable, incredible. So what are you going to do? He’s very fortunate to be in that spot, and there ain’t nobody that’s going to succeed him unless he wants to get out, ’cause those girls love him. They love him to death, man.”
