Yes. "The Million Dollar Man," Ted Dibiase's personal assistant was Virgil (it has to be a rib against Dusty: by using his government name). Then, Virgil goes to WCW to become "Vincent" (after Vince McMahon, not Vince Russo..BRO), then "Shane" (after Shane O' Mac, Vince's son). Dusty with Sapphire had feuds against: both Ted Dibiase and later on, "Macho King" Randy Savage (with the Sensational Queen Sherri). Sapphire turned against Dusty and went with Dibiase.

Goldie had a few solid Wrestlemania moments, actually. He and Luna had a damn good mixed tag with Sable and Marc Mero at XIV. I really liked the four corners IC title match at XV. And his big return at Wrestlemania XVIII was pretty awesome, too, even though the match was just a silly little Hardcore Title thing.

@_ADINFINITUM

That mixed tag is one of the most underrated WrestleMania matches of all time, especially from a storytelling/psychology standpoint. The whole story of Sable breaking away from Mero and Mero enlisting Goldust to humiliate her and Luna despising her for being everything she wasn't and then the way they worked the match with Mero and Goldust anchoring while teasing Sable getting her hands on Luna until she finally did and the place came UNGLUED.

Dustin should get all the credit in the world for making that Goldust gimmick into, well, gold. So risky, especially for that time, and he just made it work. Hope to see him in the HOF soon.

I really hope that WWE can get over themselves enough to induct Goldust into the Hall of Fame where he belongs. Dustin is the very definition of a professional professional wrestler. He's given so much yet received so little in return.

I love the fact that Dustin Runnels is a decent human being. When you listen to him talk, he comes across as genuine and he still, despite everything, has a love for the business and an appreciation for the work he put in. So many guys come off as bitter and/or denigrate the business. Not Dustin. He seems to be able to completely separate business from real life (while understanding the importance of kayfabe). He's completely 180 degrees from the character he portrayed. A really great guy and an awesome Entertainer.

The other difference that he's hinted at is that they were very trained stunt workers doing it as side gig. Roddy Piper like he said also did stunt work. Other than his shoots being stuck in a 80's time loops. Taker and Hogan also worked in stunts and B movies a ton as well. Vince Senior and Jr/McMan and Patt paterson had a zero drama policy as well as a (now ) well publiced respect your fellow worker policy. So sure him and piper probably had a blast. lol you should hear what he said when they re-invented him "what's androgodonous" lol while he he was in victoria secrete getting fitted...lol--um you flew out from a stunt gig in georgia to SoCall to practice with Hogan and get in shape to cosplay...and are just now asking that?

Goldust is one of my all time favorite wrestlers. He took a gimmick, that no one else could handle, and turned into such a legendary character, that stood the test of time. I'm so glad Dustin's involved in AEW now, he seems so happy 😊❤

As a kid, Goldust was scary spooky character. With this one character, he embodied the dark secret reality superstitious controversies of Hollywood, California.

God this was one of the most greatest interviews I’ve ever seen because it came from the heart- they just let him talk and get it out. You can tell his time with Roddy Piper meant soooo much to him- he was tearing up. He’s a good guy and sooooo underrated. This is one of those interviews that stands alone! Completely awesome! 😌🙏🏼

Yes, Dustin "Goldust" Rhodes was a great star and wrestler, and one who definitely has been underrated. Yet I gotta think this match - and the in-ring action - might have helped sow a seed for the Attitude Era.
