EW/ROH star Dustin Rhodes appeared on the Unbreakable podcast to discuss a number of topics, including how he got started in the wrestling business.
Rhodes said, “My dad didn’t want me to break into the wrestling business. I did have a heart to play football, but I wanted to be a wrestler more, and he didn’t want me to be. It was tough, but it is what it is. When I did start in the business, I was around him constantly, so it was good to be close to him. But then I ran into that downward spiral and I didn’t give a s**t for years, and it nearly killed me.”
On not having an easy road into the business:
“People think: oh, Dustin had the easy road to get into the business. It’s actually 100% the opposite.”
