Pro wrestling legend and AEW star Dustin Rhodes was a guest on Tony Schiavone’s What Happened When podcast, where he talked about various topics, including his recovery from injury.
Rhodes said, “It was a hard couple of months, the first two months were pretty bad. My wife was, you know, waiting on me on hand and foot, but they wanted you walking, so I did as much walking as possible. I’ve been back to work a little bit for coaching. I’m not quite cleared yet, but I think we’re very close. And I can’t wait to see what I can do for the next year and a half, two years before I retire.”
On whether he’s considered his retirement match:
“I have, and I’m keeping it really close to the vest. I think Tony knows, I’ve said it to him a couple of times. And the other guy knows. I kind of want to go out with no [face] paint on this one and just like a throwback to ‘The Natural’ Dustin Rhodes in the early 90s. Not in that gear, though — in my body suit. Because let’s face it, I’m 57. Even though I am high school weight right now, which is impressive, because I’ve worked my butt off. Still, nobody wants to see that. They’re used to me in a bodysuit. So, you know, just a little change, maybe some different colors for the one last hoorah.”
