    Jason Barrett from NoHoldsBarredWrestling.com sent in the following:

    Dustin Rhodes joined No Holds Barred on 9/15/01 and the full interview transcript is now available on www.noholdsbarredwrestling.com - In the interview, Dustin discusses the demise of WCW, his relationship with his father, his departure from the WWF and a whole lot more. Here are a few samples from the interview.

    Jason: Now let's get right to one point and that concerns the old WCW. In your opinion, what was it's biggest downfall?

    Dustin: It being owned by a giant coorporation instead of a family owned business. There's so many people talking to 1 person and throwing out so many different ideas that it just didn't click. With Vince McMahon and the World Wrestling Federation it's all family owned and he has the last say and he listens to ideas but it's all in the family and in his best interests and that's why he's a success and WCW's no longer.

    SA: Now Dustin, did you ever think that the true dirtiest player in the game Vince McMahon, a former boss of yours would own the prestigous name of WCW?

    Dustin: No to be honest with you I never saw that coming.

    Jason: Now Dustin, speaking of your father Dusty Rhodes. He's known as one of the greatest of all time growing up in the industry. When all is said and done how do you want to be remembered in the wrestling world?

    Dustin: I want to be remembered to the wrestling fan and the wrestling world as one of the best workers in this business. Being either entertaining or just wrestling like old school wrestling. I want to be considered one of the best. I'll work towards that and hopefully one day I'll get my shot at the World Heavyweight Title whether it be in the WWF or in TCW or whatever other company decides to surface. I'm sure one will very soon.

    The full interview transcript for this interview as well as our recent discussion with WCW US Champion Rhyno are now both available at www.noholdsbarredwrestling.com and our recent 60 minute tell all interview with Buff Bagwell will be up shortly. While visiting our website, please make sure to answer our question of the week.
