Dustin Rhodes recently called out a legendary wrestling veteran. This happened after the veteran said he would never make it to TV if he was in WWE.

Dustin Rhodes has accomplished a lot in his storied career. He gained a lot of fame during his time in WWE where he wrestled under the ring name Goldust. Although he was popular amongst the fans for his bizarre antics, he was never treated like a main eventer.

After many years in the Stamford-based promotion, Dustin made the move to join AEW, where he has been doing some of the best work of his life. Even though he is in the later stages of his career, he has displayed hunger and passion. This helped him win the ROH World Six-Man Tag Team Championship along with The Von Erichs. Despite this win, he is still looking for more gold.

Recently, Tommy Dreamer spoke about Dustin's career and said that he would not be on television if her were in WWE due to how the older wrestlers are normally booked in the promotion. This statement didn't make the former Goldust happy, and he took to social media to call out the ECW legend.

"The stuff people say on the internet I am not injured @THETOMMYDREAMER, and why not use me on television? Why not World Heavyweight Champion? My segment ratings are consistent and good. I am doing the best work of my life and loving every bit of it and helping the youngens rise to the top. When you step in the ring with me, you are better at the end. Love ya buddy but come on. This is my livelihood and I am working my a** off. I have earned it. I want it all as I have from the beginning. #PassionLivesInMe"
