Swerve Strickland praises Dustin Rhodes

The 55-year-old star has a good reputation in the locker room, as he is known for helping young talents.

While speaking with Bootleg Kev, former AEW World Champion Swerve Strickland said that the veteran gives him advice on a lot of his matches.

"Dustin, in general, he’s been the guy behind a lot of my great matches. He doesn’t tell me what to do, but he suggests things and where they should go. And he always puts a perspective on it where I’m like, ‘Oh, now you got me really thinking.And then I’m like, ‘How would you do it?’ And he’s like, ‘Well, I would go this way with it,’ but he never tells me what to do," he said.

It will be interesting to see when Dustin Rhodes returns to the Jacksonville-based promotion, as he hasn't been seen in the company for over a month.
