Dustin Rhodes, a prominent AEW international figure, recently took to his Twitter account to laud Swerve Strickland, who presently holds the AEW World Champion title. Rhodes described Strickland as a talent of his generation. Rhodes tweeted that Strickland is an exceptional talent who is as solid as they come, and that his HouseCall technique is by no means a laughing matter.
In the same tweet, Rhodes also spoke highly of Roderick Strong, describing him as a man with a rigid work ethic who is a force to be reckoned with. Rhodes predicted that a high-quality matchup on par with a PPV event will unfold this Wednesday on AEW Dynamite.
Rob Van Dam, in a recent edition of his podcast “1 Of A Kind,” had high praise for Mark Henry whom he referred to as an exceedingly good individual and one he was honoured to refer to as a friend. Van Dam commended Henry’s character, jovial nature, and sense of humour while reminiscing about their good times together.
