Original goldust is vastly underrated

[Bootzilla]

Goldust from the period of 1995-98 was one creepy ass heel playing off the audience. Though I don't think he should have been a top heel the gimmick had potential to be put in a feud with almost anyone. Imagine if razor ramon stayed a bit longer or he had a run in with Austin.



one creepy ass mofo

Something that's missing from today's WWE. Character and charisma. Dustin went 110% with a gimmick that was

Marlena and those cigars

One of my favourite gimmicks ever simply because it changed the game and was the first move away from the kid-friendly mid 90's and towards the adult Attitude Era

The mind-games and psychological fukkery throwing super-straight macho guys like Razor Ramon and Ahmed Johnson off their game

Plus that theme

Plus that theme

One of the GOATS. The theme with the lighting and glitter falling. A great presentation

It was a great gimmick until he went through that terrible Artist Formerly Known as Goldust phase.

A god tier theme, 110% dedication to his gimmick, I'm sure improvisation, and pushing the envelope in ways unseen before ("I once gave Ahmed Johnson mouth to mouth just to get in his head. What do you do miz?"). That man turned holiday from a wrestlecrap induction into a hall of fame induction . He doesn't get the credit he should. Wish he didn't end up all over the place and get so weird from late 1998-2001 like @mrken12 mentioned.

gay ass gimmick but he had a bad ass bytch with him.

They dont put any effort into characters anymore. It's sad.

 

[Tide Run This]

Haha that promo was classic Goldust talking bout playing with himself watching Piper when he was a kid

This.

The Goldust character was the first real sign of 'Attitude' / anti-establishment in WWE and one ECW can't claim was ripped from them.

For as innovative and edgy as SCSA and DX were later on, 10 of 10 parents would rather have their kids flip birds and crotch crop than mimic ANYTHING Goldust was doin in 95-96.

After his roll of great feud they fukked it up with his super Christian character but Dustin even played that to a T I liked it just for the fukkery


He played his gimmick so well he even made me glad to see a flaming homo erotic cross dresser return

Goldust wasn't gay he was all about playing mind games. He did that gay shyt to Ahmed and razor but not the undertaker He was basically Dennis Rodman
