"I kind of got p***ed" - WWE legend explains why he has beef with AEW star Jeff Jarrett
AEW star Dustin Rhodes has given some insight into why he has some beef with Jeff Jarrett using the nickname "The Last Outlaw," as Rhodes sees himself as that instead of JJ.
Jarrett used his gimmick as The Last Outlaw to hop from promotion to promotion in 2022, appearing for WWE, AEW, and GCW all in one year, as well as being a part of Ric Flair's last match in July.
However, using this nickname has rubbed Dustin Rhodes the wrong way, a man who Jarrett has a long history with, having wrestled with and against him in companies like WWE, WCW, and TNA.
Speaking on the Sports Guys Talk Wrestling podcast, Dustin Rhodes explained that he feels as if he is more qualified to be called The Last Outlaw than Jarrett is, although he doesn't hold any ill will towards the WWE Hall of Famer.
"Jeff Jarrett came aboard and he calls himself ‘The Last Outlaw’ and I kind of have beef with him because of that. I consider myself, since I’m still working and still working at a high capacity, the last outlaw, the last of my kind from back in the day. It’s like a badge of honor to me, he called himself that, and I kind of got p***ed. I love Jeff," said Dustin. [H/T: Fightful]
