Dustin Rhodes - 4 Stories Revealing the Man Behind the Paint

Long before his current iteration of "The Natural" in AEW, Dustin Rhodes fought alongside greats such as Ricky Steamboat, "Stunning" Steve Austin, Barry Windham, and Arn Anderson. 

Being the son of Dusty Rhodes, naysayers would often test him to see how tough he was. In the words of Dustin, "There were many fights along the way!"

1. Dustin Rhodes on Learning the Art of Wrestling "I’ve always believed you are only as good as the other person in the ring with you."

2. Dustin Rhodes on Steve Austin "We worked really smooth. It was like ballet in the ring when we were together. He is a good guy, just a good old boy."

3. A Test of Toughness "There were a few fights along the way, and I wasn’t shy about throwing down. "

4. The Mentality of Telling a Story in the Ring "My goal was to get that one guy onto his feet. I needed him to believe that what he was seeing was real. When he got off his chair, that’s when I knew I did my job that night. I lived for those moments."
