There’s one thing that has alluded to Dustin Rhodes throughout his Hall of Fame career, and even at the age of 55, The Natural still has his eyes set on capturing a world championship.

During a recent sit down interview with WFAA – a Dallas/Fort Worth ABC affiliate – to promote next year’s All In: Texas at Globe Life Field, Rhodes revealed that he hopes to finally win the big one before he has to leave his boots in the ring.

“There’s one thing that every wrestler, if they don’t want this when they come into the business, they don’t belong in the business and that’s to be world heavyweight champion.” Rhodes said. “That’s the only thing that’s missing. I’ve won a lot of titles from both companies and all kinds of companies all over the world, but winning the world heavyweight title gives you a feather in your cap.”

Dustin watched his younger brother Cody Rhodes catch WWE Championship in the main event of WrestleMania XL this year, and while some may think otherwise, Dustin is confident that there is still time for him to finish his own story.

“I have two belts right now. Dustin two belts, here I am, ROH Tag Team Titles and World Six Man Tag Team Titles. It happened this year at 55 and I’m just like, wow. The sky’s the limit.”

Age is just a number in today’s landscape of professional wrestling, with many athletes performing at a very high level well into their fifties. Taking inspiration from a certain icon who just retired this year, Rhodes hopes he has enough gas in the tank to keep his engine running for years to come.

“I don’t see an end in sight yet. Sting was a big inspiration for that because I was a big fan of him when he was there, when I first met him I started painting my face because of Sting. Seeing him going until he was 60 or 62 years old was amazing and it was very inspiring.
