Richard;
I've seen Rhodes wrestle since he was a little kid, like you have. I think what he does is systemic of that whole mess he was around in Kid wrestling and later on at West. There was an "us against the world" thing going on there with their coaches, fans and their whole enterage (sp). I think it fostered that I got screwed attitude that, not just him, but many of the West kids exhibited. They sort of made that attitude the norm and it is hard to break something that is ingrained into you at an early age. I think it is harmful to him though and that he is a ticking time bomb for trouble in other areas unless he finds some help for his temper. At this stage some responsible adults need to find him some help because it is sort of past the blaming stage now and ought to be in the what can we do to help this kid stage. I hope he gets some help and wrestlilng probably is not in his best interests now or in the future if he doesn't find some soon.
