One of the abilities of Rhodes that Richards takes some time to highlight is how high in the air he can get while performing these moves. From the move where Rhodes jumps up to block his opponent with his butt, to his version of the Canadian Destroyer, Richards compared Rhodes’ jumping ability to that of current WWE favorite LA Knight. Taking into account Rhodes’ in-ring capabilities even at 54 years old, Richards thinks the veteran deserves a more prominent position on the AEW roster.

“He’s the one veteran that can really, truly hang with these guys,” Richards stated. “And that might be controversial, but I’m talking about physicality, wrestling-wise, moves-wise.”

According to Richards, not only is Rhodes still hanging in there with his younger peers, but he’s consistently added new moves and tweaks to his repertoire over the years. Rhodes’ ability to stay fresh is another part of what has made him stand out compared to other wrestlers of similar talent.

“Dustin not only evolved and re-invented himself but he’s added moves as he’s become older,” Richards said. “He’s always been one of the greatest workers in my opinion, but he keeps getting better, and he keeps doing more impressive and almost dangerous moves.”
