Why would the host say such a cruel and unusual remarks about the death of someone and then tearing down a successful black wrestler at that? Extremely poor taste and you will rot in hell for that one. Aside from the tasteless behavior of the host, I loved Cody's story about his the Goldust impersonator acting gay but not getting any reaction these days because 2010s and being gay doesn't create any shock value anymore since it's largely accepted. It just shows the strides America has made from a day and age where all you had to do was be gay to be such a hated heel and now no one bats an eye. Makes me proud to be a 35 year old gay male. Honestly, I hated the boos Goldust got as a kid because Val Venis did the same thing only towards women and no one bat an eyelash at him, but it was oohhhhhhhhhh so evil and bad to the fans with Goldust. But in the end, that's what made Goldust magical. His shock value. Wouldn't have much effect these days like Goldust's story.
@@Tonetare What does him being black have to do with him thinking Viscera sucks? SJW spastic.
Was that filmed in Cork?
The Goldust character is an iconic piece of WWE history
WWE tried to humiliate Dusty with polka dots and tried to humiliate Dustin with Goldust but man the wrestler surpasses it all! Dustin rocks and I love calling him Dustin Rhodes! RIP Dusty! Dustin paved the way for Cody unknowingly and the prince will return and recover
@@solidsnakemgs2180 don’t forget Cody as stardust whole family was fighting difficult gimmicks 😭😂
@@tartarsauce2654 yes WWE loved to humiliate the Rhodes yet they seem to thrive and come off victorious
They did their jobs very well. They made us laugh, shake and shiver. That was the point, to be obtuse, they acted wonderfully.
I just wish they never let him go to WCW during peak attitude era
I always felt McMahon had something against the Rhodes and Goldust was intended to diminish Dustin in some way. But he made it one of the best, weirdest, most innovative characters in wrestling history.
Absolutely. He made Dusty fight in gold and black polka dots. Dustin, he made a gold and black androgynous weirdo. And they both got over. Fuck Vinnie K
Triple H is continuing that
Lmao. Vince was a boardroom ceo who followed agendas. He wasn’t trying to diminish Rhode’s, he was hoping it would be a success to peddle propaganda
@ekirakosyan Sure. And the polka dots weren't a shot either, right?
@@TheGreenDevil21 HHH bent over backwards to help those guys.
Goldust was a weird character but also a hell of a worker. He's easily the most underrated wrestler of all time
Definitely. Guys like Goldust are why I personally care more about the IC title than the top titles. He's in my top five for sure and doesn't get brought up nearly enough.
You don't know the name of the most underrated wrestler of all time.
🌈 weirdo
DUSTY RHODES!
I know there's always going to be mixed opinions on Goldust but I honestly always loved him ever since I first saw him. He always was one of the most standout characters in wrestling to me and he'll always be one of my favorites.
It's something I appreciate now, thought it was so stupid then lol.
I was a kid back in the early 2000s I found gold dust relatable not the gay act but the way people saw him as weird and kids at school found me weird to so idk I found goldust cool and different.
@@nineteeneightynine432 I remember the razor tattoo and thinking what the heck ha
When I was young I thought he was weird, but I started watching again last SummerSlam and I'm watching from '96 on. In 2003 now and golddust is awesome. Him and booker T were great as a tag team. Wish they lasted longer
I saw someone else say this in comments on another vid. But I didn't know goldust was gay or whatever. I just thought he would do anything to win.
Does anyone else feel like the older Cody gets the more you like him. And I love listening to his stories
Never seen him 'wrestle'???
You should be glad he's not the booker at WWE.
cody is a fantastic story teller, i really liked when he was painting rapist joey ryans face and telling stories.
He is younger in this video though lol this is from 2016 it says
He’s gotten more deluded and insufferable with his age. Idk what you’re smoking. Ever since he hit the indies he’s been the king of blowing smoke up his own ass.
@@AReallyLongAndUnremakableUser why?
The idea of Goldust trying to get homophobic heat from a millennial/zoomer audience who’s just like “GO AHEAD KISS HIM” is fucking hilarious dude lmao
oh the ao3 crowd would eat that up. just look at Breezango, everyone wanted them to just be happy together
Honestly that's be funny to watch him doing his usual stuff but instead its opposite everyone into it so he gets frustrated doesn't do it and that's how he gets the heat 🤣
Goldust gimmick worked in 1997, 2007, and 2017. He was popular and was a draw. Top 10 in my books especially when his character transitioned into attitude era comedy. Still look back at how Dustin/Goldust made HHH and Rick Flair break character in the ring by bursting out laughing.
Bookerdust was the best...and it was before 07
his bits with booker were legendary.
@@bobjob66 I don't think he was saying the character only worked in 97, 07 and 17, he was saying that for example Dustin was able to keep the character fresh and relevant in whatever era he played him.
Should see him in 2027 then ❤
I hope Cody recovers, good from his pec injury.
He'll be fine, as long as he gives it the proper time to heal.
He is actually getting breast implants. It was a cover for him to come back as Platinumdust.
@@chunlaou8632 lol
Spoiler alert: he does
Greetings from the future “oh boy did he recover”
Dustin is a hell of a worker.
Helluva worker
As a kid, I HATED Goldust and thought he was a joke of a “wrestler” now as an adult with an understanding of the wrestling business, I now realize how rare and one of a kind Goldust actually is. Not sure if we’ll ever get another Goldust, what a legend 💯
Always a fan of Goldust, and I was a huge fan of Razor Ramon. Even when they were feuding, I was still a fan of the Dust. So unique, and he played it perfectly. He's also a great wrestler, which helped him make that character succeed.
Gold dust is to the 90’s as gorgeous George was to the 50’s. Completely outlandish for the time but inspired how the business would evolve in later years.
That's a great point. He pushed the envelope for how strange an in-ring character can be and kept the theatrical vibes alive at a time when you more and more wrestlers performing in jeans and t-shirts. Nowadays I doubt we'd have characters like Demon Finn Balor and Danhausen without Goldust.
Yeah tons of Goldusts running around so influential
@@thegoughandbordenfamily8234not everyone can do the same gimmick dumbass, I meant in broadening the terms of what’s acceptable. Like Rico, billy and Chuck, Nyla rose, micky James, Sonny kiss, etc
I always loved the goldust character… even in the 90’s when it wasn’t “cool” to like goldust. I remember his feud with Brian Pillman right before he died. The match stipulation was he wins a night with Terri runnels (gold dusts wife and valet) at the time. Such an underrated feud
I loved Goldust as a character. Honestly one of the best, a great change from the aggression that was around at the time.
Goldust was a trailblazer, sorta like Dennis Rodman was in the 90s. They took so much heat at the time, but are both legends now.
I first discovered Goldust on WWF Warzone on PS1. His grudge match promos on that game were amazing. Not long after that I started tuning in to the WWF and WCW but by then Dustin had switched to WCW
Fun fact: Randy Ortons brother does stand up in NYC
What's his name?
Nathan
And he’s much better than Ziggler
As an adult I appreciate Dustin and Gold Dust even more than I did back when it was brand new. I'm not exactly sure I fully understood what the deal was at first, but looking back on it, I don't think anyone else would have been able to pull it off quite the same way.
The initial version of goldust was epic. It was just C R E E P Y as hell.
Then as they do many times, they took the character and made him a background comedy gimmick.
That Golddust character was ahead of its time, it would definitely work in today's time if you know what I mean. 😆
😂🤦🏾♂️
I found the Goldust character so bizarre yet so unique and so captivating back in the day. His entrance was just superb: Mr. DeMille, I'm ready for my close-up!
Goldust is one of the most brilliant characters in pro wrestling history .... completely unique, Dustin's performance was outrageously superb, so many transitions from sexuality to mystery to being a comedy face to being a ruthless heel .... absolutely champion worthy level of performance, and easily a HOF character
Immature 10 year old me: Eww, Goldust is gay!
Modern day me: Dustin Rhodes is an awesome wrestler and Goldust is one of the greatest wrestling characters ever.
I really liked Dustin as golddust 🤷🏻♂️ He turned a bad gimmick into a master piece. Especially he last 10 or so years in WWE when he was there
Some of the best entrance music and theatrics.
I watched the chase scene. Its something stuck in my head all this time from being a child.
I believe the goldust character was one of the big things that started the attitude era! For me though the other two things that started that era was, Austin's kotr win and of course the Mr McMahon character. Imagine the heat Mr McMahon would have had feuding with Bret Hart back in that time! He'd have ripped Canada, could have been bigger with Bret, had Bret not went to WCW.
The first time I saw Goldust was ‘03 or ‘04 on Smackdown HCTP. I thought he was the coolest most unique in the game, I also thought his entire getup included a mask because of the video game.
@Phil+Wingo=Phingo what kept me hooked was his legit wrestling skills
Goldust is and always will be my favorite wrestler, I have some pretty solid figures from 98-00 legit legit
Regardless of what anyone thinks of the Golddust character, nobody could have performed it better than Dustin Rhodes played it. He nailed that character and Terri/Marlena was great too. Second best character in WWE history after The Undertaker.
I got so much respect for the Rhodes family. ❤
In my view, Goldust was that first seed for the Attitude Era. By the time the attitude era came around, it was not the gimmick it used to be, but I still feel it has its place.
His work with Booker T was hilarious, Mini-Goldust😂😂😂
Big Daddy V #RIP
Cody is gonna be twice as big as he Dad and brother when he finally retires
arguably the most underrated gimmick and wrestler
Goldust might not be as good as other superstars in wwe but it is iconic and was something that really worked cause i don't think any WWE fan would forget who he was So i think goldust did its job very well
He did say you'd never forget the name Goldust
Personally, I didn’t ‘get it’ with Goldust. I found it weird, uncomfortable, strange… I was a kid. Looking back it’s such an amazing wrestling character. Knowing or unknowingly he was ahead of his time. I love watching old matches now.
I always wanted them to team as a team called Dream Sequence
playing goldust on the old wwe ps2 games was so funnn
I thought he was gay idgaf i was 7
Facts I did I was like 8 lbvs
Did you miss his wife?
After recent AEW's my mum is convinced that Jericho is the only member of JAS that isn't gay
Growing up in the 90s, Goldust freaked me out more than Taker or Kane or even early Mankind
Golddust and Booker T were a great tag team very entertaining and good work in the ring
first time i saw Golddust was i think in TNA when he was black reign
I've been to that UCB theater when Ziggler was there but it was a different show called the Tournament of Nerds and he was a judge. He must have a good relationship with them.
Seeing that ITR is sponsored by something called “Crypto Wrestling Inu” was like a punch in the kidneys, please don’t tell me there’s an ITR NFT
Cody is a gem
Goldust was one of the first characters I ever saw as a kid watching WWF, and I was immediately intrigued and he was my favorite for the longest time. Such a unique and memorable character.
Dustin and Cody are class acts ❤️
We can now look back at Goldust and see why it was a great character (Thanks to Dustin's devotion and talent) and we can see how he wasn't given the full potential. Goldust is one of those ultimate heels that made it entertaining to be up against anybody, because he's being and manouvers antagonized the opponent and their fans. He should have been given more and a reign of this "wreck everybody up", but that flame was diminished with the Roddy Piper match. That should have been a bigger climatic feud/match after giving Goldust his due.
I wish I could see that Judge Dolph skit
“Let’s go with possibly” said like a real brother
If not for the golddust character, Dustin would’ve been without a job. Golddust was one of the best gimmicks and Dustin did a way better job with that character then he’s done with anything in his wrestling career
Idk what this guy’s problem is hating on Savio Vega and Mabel getting a push enough to quit watching the program, but it really diminishes his wrestling cred…
Is it just me or does Cody's impression sounds like Fandango?
Kinda does yeah. Though Fandango had one of the most rainbow-friendly gimmicks of the last decade, so...would be weird
The Roads are wrestling royalty .
Was this recorded back when Cody was in aew?
He came to summer camp in stlouis around 94 and just hung put with the kids, I was maybe 9 years old. The guy was the greatest!
I DON'T GIVE A SHIT ABOUT HATERS
I LOVED GOLDUST. I WAS FREAKING 7 YEARS OLD AND I WAS BLOWN AWAY AND ENTRANCED BY GOLDUST GIMMICK.
I LOVED THE ENTRANCE MUSIC, THE FACE PAINT AND THE OUTFITS.
He is a great wrestler and wwe doesn't deserve him. He deserves great things and was underappreciated.
One of the greatest WRESTLEMANIA matches ever was WRESTLEMANIA XII Piper and Gold dust
Goldust will always be a legend and an original . 100%
1 of 1
How good was Goldust? People are discussing whether he was great 25 years later. In business terms that is success. And, as Cody, says, it made him rich.
They talk about shockmaster 20 years later as well. Was he a success?
"I really liked the gold dust character, he definitely was a better wrestler....
AND...
Still is!!!"
Then cody ? You high
No.
Don't need to be high to know that Dustin (Cody's brother), is a better wrestler.
He'll never ever forget the name....
Definitely some odd family dynamics going on here. The fact that Dustin wasn't even speaking to his family, and then the first time they're all together he tries to show them his wrestling as Goldust. Then, his father manages to leave before even watching the video of Dustin wrestling in the WWE. Really sad to hear.
You can tell how much Cody loves WrestleMania and WWE.. which is why he returned
Why people think he hates the place that gave him his stardom it's just a business but fans don't want to accept reality they just want drama
Mildly annoyed by the screen having a stretched image of Cody In the middle
The goldust character was ahead of his time
Nothing but respect for the Rhodes family
Nobody ever talks about pre-Golddust Dustin. He did the cowboy thing which worked well for him, too.
I love how he talks about not wanting to see dolph do a bad stand up set and have to tell him it's good anyways but even tho dolph is actually just as much a stand up comedian as he is a wrestler
Very nice Cody Rhodes ❤❤❤❤
Clap for goldust. Ok that was to big of a clap. I thought that was funnier than I should have I think. After HITC the have to give I'm the strap when he gets back.
It’s part of wwe history 🔥🔥
Love gold dust one of the biggest characters ever !
Goldust was a weird but unique part of wwe and he was hella funny
Glad Cody can put some better pictures behind him now.
Dustin is the bravest wrestler to ever step into that ring. Homophobia was incredibly strong in the 90's and anything that even eluded to it was revolutionary. Golddust is basically the David Bowie of the WWE. An eternal classic character that will be remembered FOREVER!!! I hope he gets into the hall of fame. He truly deserves it.
Cod we love you bru!
At the time, I played WWF Attitude on the N64 way more than I saw the show (my Mum seemed the sore too violent, by the game was fine, go figure) and I didn't think that Goldust was real, but rather a joke character added into the game (just like how Al Snow's Head was) since the whole thing just seemed so odd with the appearance and Shattered Dreams being outwith the scope of the rules. It was only years later that I appreciated that the show wasn't about who wins each match, but who provided greatest entertainment value, and Goldust was up there with the best of them during that era
Who doesn't love Goldust? It was hilarious how often he'd disqualify himself because he wanted to do the shattered dreams move 😅
Best Character since Th Undertaker
It does make you wonder how a character like Golddust would be received today.
Oh he’d have so much heat…..non wrestling fans will come out of the woodwork and try to cancel the WWE.
The Golden Truth went over well. So did Cody and Golddust.
Like a hero instead of the villain
@@joshrichards9121 Everyone is accepting of being gay. Wouldn't have any shock value I don't think. I don't think the WWE wrestling community is full of homophobes either like it used to be.
@@Tonetare it’s not so much being gay but being a predatory gay character people didn’t like.
Aww the Brotherly love ❤
If youre a heel you want the fans booing but also enjoying your gimick personality etc and if youre not you want to be likable and don't want boos. This is grade school knowlege.
What was best imho is in a big strong masculine job , Vince went "there" with Golddust. Heard another story recently when Savio Vega asked Dustin in NY area to get risqué it was gross but got heat.
Dustin should be in the HOF
I loved loved loved the Goldust character and wished he would have been taken much more seriously. He should have had more title wins. I loved his whole fucken look and wrestling.
Honestly he needs to be in the HOF
I didn't like Gold Dust at first but that's probably because I knew who he was because he was in the WWF as Dustin Runnels or Rhodes before he became Gold Dust and I liked him just because he was was Dusty's son I suppose.
We didn't even know what gay meant as a kid. Now kids either love it or hate it. Whatever way their parents told them to feel.
Speak for yourself.
Ain't that the truth
Now it gets force fed to them in school.
thing is, it was Goldust and Marlena, so I barely noticed Goldust at first....
Dolphin ziggler def funny when he sells tho best seller
Mini-dust was also great. LoL
I remember when Ted was million dollar champion, and gold comes out and does his finisher, I was like :o "that was sick"
Love Goldie
Hope his sister see's this video
They should have STRAPPED UP Gold Dust!
Golddust is iconic
