Jericho posted the following in a video statement:
“When you talk about Dustin Rhodes, you talk about one of the greatest of all-time,” Jericho said. “One of the best to lace up his boots in the sport of professional wrestling. He’s got it all: longevity, durability, creativity, athleticism, charismatic, character, psychology. He’s one of the best. I’m a fan — even bought the t-shirt. But when a man like Dustin Rhodes has been doing it for as long as he has says, ‘If I don’t win a match, I’m going to retire.’ When a man with the experience of Dustin Rhodes says, ‘If I don’t win, you’ll never see me again,’ that tells me there’s doubt. And when you lose that confidence in this business — you’re done. So the fact that Dustin has a doubt, just a kernel, of a doubt that he won’t beat Kip Sabian. It tells me that he already lost. So, therefore, you’re going to see the last match in the storied career of Dustin Rhodes. You had a great career, my friend, congratulations, but this week on Dynamite. It’s done.”
Looking forward to commentating the last match in the stellar career of @dustinrhodes this week on @AEWonTNT! pic.twitter.com/T7zCgeSnL2
