During a recent edition of the “Busted Open Radio” podcast, Bully Ray and Tommy Dreamer commented on AEW’s recent booking of Dustin Rhodes.
Rhodes, alongside Marshall and Ross Von Erich, recently captured the ROH World Six-Man Tag Team Championships.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
Bully Ray: “The straps just went on him the other night. As far as him being on television, he’s used sporadically. Personally if I owned a wrestling company, if I had the pencil, Dustin Rhodes — would he be my world heavyweight champion? Absolutely not. Would he be in major feuds? In blood feuds? In angles that would help younger talent get over long-term, not just for this night? Absolutely. The number one name in professional wrestling right now is Cody Rhodes.”
Tommy Dreamer: “I also think Dustin was injured a little bit. I wouldn’t put anyone who’s older on television all the time, ’cause then there’s backlash. I do feel AEW has used veterans very, very well,” Dreamer said. There is ageism in WWE. I think if Dustin was in WWE, I don’t know if he’d even be on television at all, just because of his age.”
