[@anthonyanderson9303]

@@cooperaustin6867 TK does the own the rights to Dusitn. He could have easily loaned him out for one night. He allowed Jericho to go on WWE TV while under contract and a few others, there's precedent there.

[@lamelama22]

@@cooperaustin6867 What he meant was by "bite the bullet" is that TK should've allowed Dustin to be part of Wrestlemania with Cody. Quite honestly, if WWE asked, TK would have been *a moron* for saying no, especially since he booked Dustin in a match with the AEW champion a few days later, and it might have helped to bring viewers to his show. WWE has reached out before for an AEW wrestler to make an appearance on WWE TV. Back in 2022 while HHH was temporarily in control, WWE had reached out to AEW to get Billy Gunn for the DX reunion, and were willing to pay $. TK doesn't care about money, so all he wanted was for the commentators to mention that Gunn worked for AEW; literally all he asked for was for them to *mention AEW*; and HHH refused. Apparently the WWE & AEW relationship soured starting then. Supposedly HHH is really bitter about NXT losing to AEW and then Vince returning & breaking up his version of NXT because it. Since HHH took over, he's been really strict about not mentioning AEW, not working with them, punishing wrestlers who talked to them, etc., and refusing to work with them or anyone from the independents. Vince apparently didn't care for 1 off appearances and special occurrences. re: Wrestlemania & Dustin/Goldust appearing: it's very likely that WWE didn't ask at all... they'd rather use their guys that are under contract, and their HOFers for big appearances, even if it made no sense storyline-wise. Another good example is that they didn't bring in Matt Cardona (fka Zack Ryder), Cody's IRL best friend, known to the WWE fans, doing the best work of his career, and who is available. Cardona is not under contract with anyone, and could've shown up for a 1-time fee (and would've), but they didn't ask; because he's not on their current roster. WWE is not necessarily wrong for doing that, you want to promote your guys, but the difference is Vince would want the *best product* out there, and would cut a deal if needed to make it happen. HHH & Nick Khan are apparently not.

Yes.

[@MakeLifeExtraordinary]

One of my favorite people I’ve ever met on the Indies. I’ve always told him every time I’ve seen him that he was one of the most inspirational and nicest wrestlers I ever met. I met him during the height of his Golddust days and he couldn’t have been a kinder person. Still to this day, he holds true to himself and has never let anything go to his head. His work on camera and on the mic is some of the best of business has ever seen. Such a great guy. Glad you finally interviewed him.

[@Intelligent_observer]

Goldust will always be a legend in the industry. I’m straight but even as a kid I saw the genius in the character and saw how well he played a creep that I loved. The Rhodes will be legends in wrestling history

I set up the AEW stage in Oklahoma while Dustin was training with others in the ring won’t ever forget it.

[@HiPHOPx87]

[@TheDarkHaired1]

Love what Dustin is saying about people wanting to be told a story, and how that's a timeless concept. I just showed a friend the '96 Rumble last night. They had never seen a wrestling match before, but they loved the ride that they got taken on by performers working collaboratively towards a story from almost 3 decades ago. Wrestling really can be forever when the wrestlers know what they're doing.

[@earlmccrary9903]

DUSTIN should have been “WORLD CHAMPION🏆 🤼 “!!! He was so gifted in the ring. Him & Barry Windham was something else when they wrestled in WCW!!! They were so smooth & fluid in the ring!!! 🙌🏽💪🏽🔥🙌🏽💪🏽🔥!!!

[@Dovah21]

Dustin Rhodes is a solid dude, always was. If you ever need an example of a guy who came in and worked, no matter what his angle was, think of Dustin. And props to Taker for his HOF shoutout for him. Even if he never gets inducted, just having the nomination of a guy as legendary in the business as Mark Calaway is probably the biggest rub that most people in the business could hope for.

[@ryanpatrick3284]

As I’ve gotten older, I’ve got such an appreciation of Dustin. Please never stop, Natural.

[@Taima]

[@BitterDemo]

I have met Dustin several times over the years, It is great seeing him here. But I see he is very nurvous and he has changed a lot. But I woulld love seeing Gold Dust with Cody in a Tag Match one more time. I am now 85 years of age and I would still climb back in the Ring with one of the several met against me. I was never allowed to be on a Top Show, But was allowed to enter the ring against several and was not always the looser. I was at a Dinner at The Roubidux Hotem Gus Karras had for his team and others and I was happy to have been able to actually meet several other big time wrestlers.

[@jasonpritchard4818]

People in WWE need to realise Dustin is one of the best all around talents ever in wrestling as a brilliant technical wrestling talent and one of the most unique promos ever and that is what wrestling is all about.

Great interview as always. Love Dustin's humble attitude to everything. Inspirational. One of the greatest character wrestlers of all time. Growing up watching UK World of Sport wrestling I can really relate to his attitude towards the fact it's not all about the moves. I used to watch matches with a grand total of about twenty "moves" in them and was gripped. Was all about the characters and responding to the crowd. If AEW are to kick on, the young talent really need to listen to Dustin's advice and work on thier characters, slow down, and deploy the flippy flips more sparingly.
