It's a pretty much the same problem any of the older wrestlers have with it. The thing with wrestling is that you have instant feedback if something is landing with the audience or not, so an over reliance on a script doesn't allow you to make adjustments on the fly to abandon a direction that isn't hitting its mark or to double down on something that is.

Wrestling today has lost all the venom and the wrestlers just don't have the passion and acting skills to sell what they are doing. Everything is so fake and so scripted its unwatchable. Not to mention how soft it had become and pg. Always afraid to ruffle feathers or say something that will offend someone. The only chance they have is to go old-school and get that grit back that they had in the golden days.

What Dustin Rhodes is talking about with the writers is the biggest issue WWE has now, for me. They don't have a lack of talent, they have a lack of characters, specifically letting the athletes making the character their own, rather than following what the "writers" cookie cut for them.

i don't know why but i honestly never thought i'd hear Goldust/Dustin Rhodes say helicopter dick but i' also wasn't surprised when he did
Wrestling is one of the original story telling and entertainment. The performer's are just as amazing as anything Hollywood puts out.
what's cool about dustin is he's the most capable wrestler who's also incredibly interested in wrestling character lore and good storytelling that's specific to the artform. truly underrated is that man.

What a big loss Dustin is to the WWE & what a gain it is to AEW both behind the scene's & in the ring too ... Just this 8 minute segment of a video shows how important & knowledgeable he is to the wrestling business ... He's been booked in so many silly storylines & he's still made them good because of his talent & I'm pleased he'll finish his career with his brother who'll use his talent properly

7-11 is my fav...super funny!
I agree with Dustin about how wrestlers should improv their scripts, if it doesn’t fit their character. I feel like that’s a quality every wrestler should have to pull the fans into the promos. However, I’m sure that they would get penalized for doing that now because wwe isn’t that lenient of giving the wrestlers the freedom to say what they really want to make the fans go wild over anymore. One of the problems that I have with wwe now is that the storylines aren’t as exciting anymore and the promos aren’t that entertaining to watch. I hate the P.G. Era. I will say that the wrestling moves have gotten WAY cooler now than it ever was before.

Decent Booker impression
I think most of us are silently conflicted about Dustin. We all love how wacky and over-the-top his character was and how he made it work. But we were all also re-introduced to just how good he is as a serious competitor. It'll always be something Dustin Rhodes will own that he's made a career out of doing an entertainingly embarassing character and we can't help but love that part of him. But what we're more conflicted about is really the fact that he was never positioned as a main-eventer, when it's clear that he definitely could have been had he not been typecast for the entirety of his middle career.
Goldy & Booker: legendary duo.
Dustin is hilarious. I would love to learn character from him & Jake Robert’s
Excellent vid.
Goldust is one of the greatest funny guy in wwe history!
@6:09 it was a very elaborate disguise.
You are a very good sport, sir! Well done.
Dustin is my fucking fav lmao
Where can I actually watch these in full?
Ain't it the truth! I tuned into Raw just to see what they (Booker T and Goldust) were gonna do next 💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿✌🏿✌🏿✌🏿
As soon as the crowd saw the second one enter the frame they would pop because they knew magic was about to happen.
Normally I dont like Goldust, but with Booker T wow it was so awesome!
dustin rhodes and Booker T are damn legends
Dustin has a point though...you cannot-- repeat, can NOT-- embarrass the dude who used to be Goldust...he's pushed the envelope so far with his antics, the envelope is now in a different Country...a "Dressing Room Anecdote" is like a raindrop compared to a swimming pool xD
7/11 one was always funny as fuck
Awwwww I miss Bookdust
I was hoping that they would've done more with the "Rose Gold" tag team before he left. He had good chemistry with Mandy Rose.
