Dustin Rhodes Sees Himself Competing For ‘Two To Four’ More Years If His Leg Allows

Dustin Rhodes talks retirement.

At 54 years old, Rhodes is still performing regularly as a member of the All Elite Wrestling roster. But during a recent interview with Sports Guys Talk Wrestling, Rhodes provided an updated timeline on how long he thinks he’ll continue to wrestle.

“It is,” Rhodes said (H/t Jeremy Lambert of Fightful) regarding having his last match on his mind. “The older I get, the harder it gets. The thing about me is my work ethic. I work hard and every time that red light is on, I try to do my very best. So far, being here for the five years that I have, in my 50’s, I’m doing amazing. I’ve not had one bad match. It’s been pretty cool to think back of all the good matches I’ve had in AEW. I’ve wrestled everybody. It’s unbelievable.

“[Retirement] has been on my mind. Last year, I said I got one year left, and I’m going past that. I don’t want to say that again because you never say never, right? I see myself, two to four more years, if my legs allow me to. If Tony Khan is gracious enough to keep me around and keep me on television, that’s great. Whatever I can do to help. I love producing, too, so that’s also what I can fall back on.

“There are a lot of good things going on there; I have a lot. I take it one day at a time and one show at a time. Whatever Tony gives me, I go out there, and I’m going to blow it out of the park and have some fun. I’ll be sore for a week and a half after.”

Rhodes last competed on the January 17 episode of AEW Dynamite when he challenged Christian Cage for the AEW TNT Championship.
