Dustin Rhodes Responds To Those Who Say He Has No Charisma: ‘You’re Absolutely Wrong’

In a post on Twitter, Dustin Rhodes sent a message to those who had claimed he had no charisma, and responded to other claims by Eric Bischoff. Bischoff fired Rhodes from WCW in 1995 and claimed it was because he bled on the same PPV that Hulk Hogan did.

It was wrong, but you know what I didn’t do? Sue. Because I knew I was gonna be just fine because I bust my ass each and every time I am out there and have had an extraordinary career.

Man this shit pisses me off.”
