WRESTLED WITH HIS DEMONS –
Jan. 17, 2024 – “My sobriety, that’s my legacy,” said Rhodes. “And I understand it’s OK to have bad days. There will be better ones. Life has been an incredible teacher. I’ve learned a lot, and I plan on being clean and sober for the rest of my life.
“I wasn’t seeing clearly back in the day, and I paid for it heavily. Sometimes, I’m still trying to prove myself, even when I don’t need to. I came out the other side. The devil is still sitting here, right on my shoulder. All’s I need to do is walk with him. But each new day, I tell him, ‘No, I’m going to be good today.’ So I’m not going to drink. I’m not going to do drugs. I have my sh– together, and I’m fixin’ to get on with my life.
Perhaps being the son of a legend is a heavy burden. But it is also a blessing. Rhodes has embraced that, and he continues to make the most of every moment he is given. In wrestling, that next opportunity takes place tonight in an old school battle of good-versus-evil on Dynamite.
