10 Wrestling Matches That Changed Fans Opinions On Certain Wrestlers

Few wrestlers have had a career quite like that of Dustin Rhodes.

Eldest son of The American Dream, Dusty Rhodes, Dustin has had a multitude of gimmicks over his long career. His most famous is Goldust, the androgynous living Oscar statue that helped pave the way for the Attitude Era, but he's been known as The Natural, Seven, and the most cursed character in all of wrestling, Black Reign.

Most fans had written Dustin off by the time 2019 rolled around. He'd had his time in the son and had carved out a decent, if slightly underwhelming career. However, Dustin refused to go out like that.

At the age of 50, the elder Rhodes put on the match of his life against his younger half-brother, Cody, at AEW's inaugural event, Double or Nothing. The bout is a modern masterpiece, full of emotional twists and turns and enough blood to keep a hospital in stock for years.

This killer match not only helped ignite AEW, but also changed everyone's mind on Dustin Rhodes. Gone was the view of an old man who'd missed out on his prime, replaced with a man about to embark on an exciting new chapter.
