»  Dressed in gold from head to toe, Goldust resembled an award statue more than he did a Superstar, which is quite fitting
|
» considering his fondness for quoting classic movies. What he loved more than the silver screen was a good game of
|
» psychological warfare. Playing off the homophobic fears of opponents, Goldust oftentimes made suggestive advances
|
» towards his foes, leaving them vulnerable for him to land his signature Curtain Call finisher. While Goldust's showmanship
|
» was his in-ring skills were even greater. After all, he is the son of the great Dusty Rhodes. Within months of his debut,
|
» Goldust used his natural ability, as well as some mind games, to defeat Razor Ramon for the Intercontinental title. It was
|
» his first of three reigns with the prestigious title. In late 1997, a confused Goldust left his "director" Marlena to become,
|
» believe it or not, an even more bizarre Superstar referred to as The Artist Formerly Known as Goldust. With Luna Vachon
|
» by his side, he engaged in a brief rivalry with Marc Mero & Sable before coming to his senses and returning to the Goldust
|
» persona that made him so successful. Back in gold, Goldust spent the next several years struggling to regain the
|
» of his early WWE days. In 2002, he finally returned to championship form when he teamed with Booker T to recapture the
|
» WWE World Tag Team Championship at Armageddon before amicably parting ways the very next month.
