has been a key component of the <strong>World Wrestling Entertainment <\/strong>(<strong>WWE<\/strong>) roster for over twenty years.\u00a0 Whereas he wasn&#8217;t as popular nor as successful as the mega stars of the Attitude Era (<strong>Steve Austin<\/strong>, <strong>The Rock<\/strong>, <strong>The Undertaker<\/strong> etc), he is often credited as being one of the founders of it &#8211; and rightfully so.<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/youtu.be\/OS2XK_pSLj8<\/p>\n<p>Goldust&#8217;s strange, un-PC, downright polarising persona of the mid-to-late 1990s was ahead of its time.\u00a0 His contribution to the Attitude Era &#8211; as well as his years of solid in-ring work, promos and entertaining segments (the stuff with <strong>Booker T<\/strong> still stand as some of the most memorable WWE segments ever) make Goldust a certified future WWE Hall of Famer.\u00a0 When younger brother,\u00a0<strong>Cody,\u00a0<\/strong>threatens to <a href=\"https:\/\/lwosonprowrestling.ms.lastwordonsports.com\/2019\/04\/28\/cody-rhodes-delivers-scathing-promo-i-am-not-here-to-kill-dustin-rhodes-im-here-to-kill-the-attitude-era\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">&#8220;kill&#8221; the Attitude Era<\/a> once and for all by ending his brother&#8217;s career at <strong>All Elite Wrestling<\/strong>&#8216;s <em><strong>Double or Nothing<\/strong><\/em> event, he means it.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"AEW - The Road to Double or Nothing - Episode 14\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/azQwNRD3H_o?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer;

that was his father, &#8220;The American Dream&#8221;,\u00a0<strong>Dusty Rhodes<\/strong>.\u00a0 His hair just as golden, his face just as scarred, you can tell that this man is the son of the &#8220;American Dream&#8221;.\u00a0 &#8220;The Natural&#8221; Dustin Rhodes, as he was named in his second, more successful stint in <strong>World Championship Wrestling<\/strong>, looks every bit of a wrestler as anyone else to have stepped through a set of ropes.\u00a0 There is no golden facepaint; no comical stutter or ball-gags, there is only a man with two fists and the presence of a pro-wrestler.<\/p>\n<p>Dustin Rhodes began his illustrious career in <strong>Championship Wrestling from Florida<\/strong>, debuting for the promotion in September of 1988.\u00a0 Just three months later, he would debut for World Championship Wrestling, as one half of the Texas Broncos with tag team partner, <strong>Kendall Windham<\/strong>.\u00a0 This <strong>WCW<\/strong> run would end just two months later, however, as he would leave the company with his father, Dusty Rhodes.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"SN 12\/31\/88 Rhodes &amp;

in late 1990 &#8211; would debut in the promotion where he would eventually make his name: the <strong>World Wrestling Federation<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Dustin Rhodes [AKA Goldust] vs. Paul Diamond (german)\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/AKxnyrPIHnU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer;

Dustin Rhodes &#8211; a title not so dissimilar to Charlotte Flair&#8217;s &#8220;Genetically Superior&#8221;.\u00a0 Additionally, this run would prove to be Dustin&#8217;s most successful so far as &#8211; on January 11th, 1993 &#8211; Dustin would capture his first WCW United States Championship (the first of two) after it was vacated, following an injury to then-current champion, <strong>Rick Rude<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>He defeated <strong>Ricky Steamboat<\/strong> for the vacant championship.\u00a0 Upon Rude&#8217;s return, the title would be vacated again &#8211; with it being decided Dustin would face Rude in a series of matches (best-of-three) to see who the true champion really was.\u00a0 Dustin would win this series &#8211; arguably the biggest win of his career so far &#8211; and would hold it for a couple more months, before losing it to a young, pre-Texas Rattlesnake <strong>Steve Austin<\/strong>.\u00a0 Following an incident in which Dustin bladed during a match (against the rules at the time), Dustin and his competitor, <strong>The Blacktop Bully<\/strong>, were both fired from WCW.<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/youtu.be\/K655jz-vB_g<\/p>\n<p>Dustin returned for his second stint in the WWF &#8211; a stint notable for the beginning of the Goldust character.\u00a0 In a series of pre-debut vignettes, Goldust &#8211; wearing the beginnings of his iconic facepaint (at the time just a gold-painted face and black lipstick), a golden suit and his iconic golden wig &#8211; would cut bizarre promos from the hills of Los Angeles, California.<\/p>\n<p>In the present day, Goldust&#8217;s early act wouldn&#8217;t be too outrageous, thanks in large part to Ru Paul&#8217;s Drag Race, but at the time, this was a considerably controversial gimmick &#8211; especially in the WWF which, until this point, had not strayed too far into the unknown.\u00a0 This is why Cody considers Goldust as being so representative of the Attitude Era: he is absolutely one of the forefathers of the shift to edgier wrestling in the mid-1990s.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Goldust Pre Debut Vignette\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/p1hK-oxxiE8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>At the time, <strong>Vince McMahon<\/strong> was largely behind the gimmicks of his wrestlers; usually choosing cartoony characters who he felt the young TV audience could love or hate with ease.\u00a0 According to Dustin, he accepted the Goldust character after Vince McMahon conversed with him over the likelihood of Dustin being able to play such an androgynous character.\u00a0 Dustin admits to having accepted the character without knowing what the word &#8220;androgynous&#8221; actually meant and upon learning of the definition, questioned &#8220;what have I done?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Thankfully, he did accept, because the Goldust character is one of the most recognisable, enjoyable and beloved in wrestling history &#8211; certainly in recent memory &#8211; and is a staple of the late 90s era of pro-wrestling, which remains arguably the most popular of all time.\u00a0 The initial run of Goldust bore championship gold, too, as he captured the Intercontinental Championship from <strong>Razor Ramon<\/strong> at<em><strong> Royal Rumble 1996<\/strong><\/em> &#8211; five years after leaving the WWF.\u00a0 This was also when his then-wife, <strong>Terri Runnels<\/strong>, under the name Marlena, began working as his valet.<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/youtu.be\/G2D2lJbC6TU<\/p>\n<p>Dustin would have a couple more years in the WWF as Goldust, before eventually leaving for one final stint in WCW &#8211; where he would work as<strong> Seven<\/strong>, a character more closely resembling &#8220;The Bizarre One&#8221; Goldust than &#8220;The Natural&#8221; Dustin Rhodes, who the WCW audience had previously seen him work as.\u00a0 The character was soon dubbed too controversial for <strong>Ted Turner<\/strong>, however, and Dustin soon began working as &#8220;The American Nightmare&#8221; Dustin Rhodes.\u00a0 Sound familiar? Cody wasn&#8217;t the first American Nightmare, I can assure you.\u00a0 This version of Dustin was the anti-Dusty &#8211; evil Dusty, in basic terms.\u00a0 He would then wrestle in WCW right until the very end &#8211; even working <em><strong>WCW Greed<\/strong><\/em> (the final PPV) on March 18th, 2001.<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/youtu.be\/sfc0XuP2GEE<\/p>\n<p>After the end of WCW, Dustin would, of course, return to the WWE.\u00a0 This stint would become arguably the most memorable of his career, as it was during this time the famous Booker T and Goldust team was born.\u00a0 It would be fair to say that this was a sort of demotion for both men, as they were relegated to comedy sketches; making numerous hilarious backstage segments.\u00a0 However, the bromance of the two characters (something which stands today) and their natural ability to make audiences laugh in such outlandish segments as &#8220;Darth Goldust&#8221; has made the team as memorable as any other.\u00a0 The chemistry shared by Booker T and Goldust, too, is as potent as any other.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Booker T meets &quot;Darth Goldust&quot;: Raw, July 1, 2002\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/4zdUh-7kMzo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer;
