Hacksaw Jim Duggan Explains The Differences Of Wrestling Both Cody And Dusty Rhodes

Hacksaw Jim Duggan comments on the differences in wrestling Dusty Rhodes and his son Cody.

Jim Duggan’s professional wrestling career is one that has spanned several decades, beginning in the late 1970’s and lasting all the way through to 2017 when ‘Hacksaw’ competed in his final match. Throughout his storied career, Duggan faced off with several generations of pro wrestling families, including the Rhodes families Cody and Dusty Rhodes.

While speaking to Bill Apter in a new interview, Hacksaw was asked about getting the chance to work with both Cody and Dusty Rhodes and what separated the two as performers.

“Well, Cody’s a great young athlete. Obviously, he can do all kinds of things physically. Dusty was limited in his physical ability, but just his charisma carried him so far. That’s what I tell the young kids that are trying to break in. I said, everybody can take a backdrop. Everybody can work pretty well. It’s your character that stands out. Work more on your gimmick than you do your ring work.”

Earlier this year, Duggan signed a WWE Legends deal. You can read more about that here.
