During a recent appearance on the “Dirty Air” podcast, NASCAR driver Dale Earnhardt Jr. revealed that he’s a big fan of professional wrestling and named some of his favorite pro wrestlers, including Dusty Rhodes, Steve Austin, and others. He said,
“If I can kind of be quite honest about it, the wrestlers that I liked were Dusty Rhodes, Magnum T.A., Stone Cold, I did like The Rock, but not at first. The guys that I like are kind of like blue-collar, t-shirt and jeans, for me I’m still looking. That’s why I went. I got some friends of mine that go all the time. I said, ‘I wanna get back into it. I need to find that Steve Austin, I need to find that Dusty Rhodes character that I wanna connect to,’ and I guess that’s what I’m looking for is to try to find that one character that I’m like, ‘Man, that’s cool. That’s the guy next door, beer-drinking buddy that I want to hang out with.’”
