Aim for Elon Musk to have the first wrestling match in space

Legendary professional wrestler Dustin Rhodes made a request to the owner of SpaceX.

JACKSONVILLE, FL. – As space travel becomes more common, one longtime professional wrestler asked SpaceX owner Elon Musk allow him to take part in the first wrestling match in space.

This happened after this video was circulated Weightlessness which offers “zero-gravity flights for everyone” and showed this video on social networks.

After this video of men trying out wrestling moves in zero gravity was posted, Dustin Rhodes sent a message to Elon Musk on X. Rhodes currently works for the company All Elite Wrestling (AEW) from Jacksonville and the son of the late wrestler Dusty Rhodes. He was also known as Goldust in WWE.

“I want to do this!! @elonmusk let me have my first match in space!!!” Rhodes wrote.

Cut to the ring Host Scott Johnson also approached Musk with the idea. Apparently, Musk has not yet responded.

Musk is no stranger to this world, as he publicly discusses possible cage match against Facebook owner Mark Zuckerberg in 2023. That match never took place.
