Bully Ray is unhappy with a current AEW star's run in the company. He believes the talent in question still has a lot left in him.
Although Dustin Rhodes is part of the famous Rhodes family, he is still yet to win a world title unlike his younger brother Cody Rhodes. Dustin spent several years in WWE under the ring name Goldust where he won many accolades and established himself as a high-caliber entertainer.
However, Dustin was able to reinvent himself once he left the Stamford-based promotion and joined AEW. During his initial days in the company, Rhodes played a key role in shaping the career of some of the younger members of the roster. Although Dustin Rhodes looks to be in the best shape of his life, he struggled to win a title for several years until recently when he captured the ROH World Six-Man Tag Team Championship along with The Von Erichs.
Speaking on his Busted Open Radio, Bully Ray addressed Dustin's run in AEW noting that he is nowhere close to retiring:
"I think Dustin has been put in a position where he has not been utilized enough, and maybe in his mind now, because he doesn't get utilized, it's like, 'All right, maybe my better days are behind me. Maybe I'm not wanted as much anymore. I would be taking advantage of Dustin, especially just because of the Rhodes name," he said. "Nothing about what I see from Dustin, hear from Dustin, the shape he's gotten himself into, his work rate, leads me to believe that this guy truly wants out of the ring." [H/T Wrestling Inc.]
Bully Ray opens up on Shane McMahon's private meeting with Tony Khan
The wrestling world was turned upside down when news broke that Shane McMahon met Tony Khan in an airport in Arlington. A photo from the meeting went viral on social media and many people have given their take on it.
Speaking on the same podcast episode, Bully Ray suggested that maybe Shane's meeting with Tony had more to do with business than wrestling. He pointed out that Shane has experience running companies overseas and the meeting could've taken place to discuss how Shane's company can help AEW overseas:
"I'm not saying that this conversation about the wrestling business has to do with Shane being brought in as a talent to AEW, Shane buying into AEW. Shane, I forget exactly what Shane does for a living, but it's very, very detached from pro wrestling, and I believe he does a lot of his business overseas. Maybe the business meeting is about how Shane's company can help AEW overseas and break into a different market, because I believe Shane was working on a big deal with China for the WWE," said Bully Ray [From 10:02 - 10:42]
It will be interesting to see if this will eventually lead to Shane joining AEW in the future.
