5 Most Sympathetic Babyfaces In AEW
4. Dustin Rhodes
”The Natural” Dustin Rhodes may prefer face paint and bodysuits over denim and stetsons but he carries himself with the quiet dignity of an old cowboy.
Dragging himself back to the ring at 50 after double knee surgery, he looks better than anyone could have expected at this point. His offence is still crisp and impactful. He’s a tough son of a gun who doesn’t need or invite our sympathy.
Nevertheless, his soulful eyes and hang dog expression keep you rooting for this old warhorse, especially when the odds are against him. So far on Dynamite we’ve seen him bravely run in to defend Cody only to take a beat down and wind up on the receiving end of some nasty Jake Hager interference. It’s the perfect use of this veteran and sentimental fan favourite.
Plus no one who saw it will ever forget him flooding the mat with his own blood at Double or Nothing, giving it his all against Cody.
