haVoc Posted November 29, 2003 Report Posted November 29, 2003 Shit, Goldust was such a great heel some places were banning WWF programming from their channels over his gay character.
Guest The Imp Posted December 1, 2003 Report Posted December 1, 2003 I hope they give Goldust a proper sendoff...let him tear it up in RR...give him 20-30 minutes so he can go through all the mannerisms he's used in the past...nostalgia always works at the RR...
Guest Megatron Posted December 1, 2003 Report Posted December 1, 2003 The original, movie loving, faggot-assed Goldust was the best character Dustin's ever done. I can't see why "creative" wouldn't be able to come up with any storylines for him. It's simple, turn him heel, and have him "play mind-games" on Booker T (his most logical first feud). How hard is that for the Head Stooge in Charge of Kissing Vince's Ass to come up with? Dustin doesn't deserve this shit from WWE. A guy gives you like 6 years of total service and you announce that he's gonna get fired 2 months in advance? I hope that they announce the same for Mizark but only they should do it a year in advance. And Big Slow too.
Guest Choken One Posted December 1, 2003 Report Posted December 1, 2003 I think it's a sign of respect to tell the guy he's going to be released ahead of time so he can start planning his future out...
Slayer Posted December 1, 2003 Report Posted December 1, 2003 QUOTE (Use Your Illusion @ Nov 29 2003, 01:33 AM) QUOTE (The Mighty Damaramu @ Nov 29 2003, 06:26 AM) Ummm......ok.......I'm pretty sure he's keeping his job. They wouldn't have put that up so far in advance unless it meant something. Damaramu, I love you, no seriously I really do, but if you begin another fucking post with "Umm..." I'm going to have to shoot you. It's Dama's way of warming up his brain before posting Of course, he doesn't actually need to transcribe it... I think the Ummmmm makes him sound like a negative kind of guy. Just the Ummmm....makes me think he's going to bash something. Do you see what I mean? Read his post again to find out. *DING! DING! DING!* We have a winner! You are correct sir. It's my way of calling someone an idiot. Ummm... pick a new way of insulting people, pronto
Guest Megatron Posted December 1, 2003 Report Posted December 1, 2003 I think it's a sign of respect to tell the guy he's going to be released ahead of time so he can start planning his future out... But to announce it to the world? Low-class. They could have informed him privately. I remember when Macho left. He was on TV the week before Vince came on and said that he had decided to leave. That was class. Same with Bobby Heenan. He was literally kicked out by Monsoon.

But to announce it to the world? Low-class. They could have informed him privately. I'm sure they told him before they posted the news... It's no fucking different from when a Televison show decides to write off a character and they tell a actor that and then if they wish, they will notify the press off it.
Guest Megatron Posted December 1, 2003 Report Posted December 1, 2003 It's no fucking different from when a Televison show decides to write off a character and they tell a actor that and then if they wish, they will notify the press off it. Whatever. I'm still pissed about it. I just hope he does well in whatever he chooses to do and proves WWE wrong. I think he could do really well in TNA as long as he doesn't burn his WWE bridges.
Guest Choken One Posted December 1, 2003 Report Posted December 1, 2003 He's not gonna do anything special in TnA because face it... Without the Goldust character, he's NOTHING. He couldn't do anything. Dustin Rhodes does not SELL! The only time Dustin worked as Dustin was when he was a uber babyface in 1992 riding along Barry Windham and Steamboat's coatails to **** tag matches. WWE Tried to sell Dustin Rhodes, Failed. WCW pushed him to the TOP in 2001...failed. TNA will be no different. They'll stick him in a angle where he comes to his father's rescue and he turns on him during a HUGE tag match and he'll have a lame desperado screw the fans type gimmick and it'll fail like everything else tna does.
AndrewTS Posted December 1, 2003 Report Posted December 1, 2003 More information has been received regarding WWE's decision not to renew Goldust's contract. The major reason the decision was made is because management felt that he was too injury prone. Also, the creative team couldn't come up with anything for his character, Yet, Orton, Batista, and HHH are still on TV. I love that old "creative team couldn't come up with anything for his character." Gotta love a company that releases people because another department completely sucks ass at their jobs.
Guest Megatron Posted December 1, 2003 Report Posted December 1, 2003 How do you know TNA's a failure? Do you watch it every week? I've seen it several times and I enjoyed it better than WWE programming on a few of those occasions. They have really good cruiserweight action. And I like AJ Styles. They have to push Double-Jerk, he's the biggest name star they have. They have also been creating their own stars. Guys that WWE would like to poach. I don't call that failing.
Guest Choken One Posted December 1, 2003 Report Posted December 1, 2003 Are they making money? Not very much if at all. Creating Stars? Outside of our little world here...who has ever heard of AJ Styles? NOT ONE FUCKING PERSON. When Jeff Jarrett and Raven are your two biggest attractions you KNOW you got problems because no two wrestlers defected companies as constantly as these two did in the 90's....them and shane douglas...whom also is employed by TNA.
Guest Megatron Posted December 1, 2003 Report Posted December 1, 2003 Are they making money? Not very much if at all. Creating Stars? Outside of our little world here...who has ever heard of AJ Styles? NOT ONE FUCKING PERSON. When have they released PPV figures? As far as I know they aren't losing money. And like I said, they have guys that WWE wants. So I guess they do have their own stars.
Guest Choken One Posted December 1, 2003 Report Posted December 1, 2003 Who? Abyss and Styles? That's about it. Everyone else on the roster has been fired by WWE or are just the same as the rest and aren't anything special.
The Ghost of bps21 Posted December 1, 2003 Report Posted December 1, 2003 Since TNA's intention is to put on a show every wednesday night...and they're still doing that...they are successful enough. Them losing money is only a concern to those who are taking the loss. If they don't care...I don't see why we should. Labeling everything that TNA has done a failure is ridiculous. Are they great? no. Are they good? not always. But they are a paycheck, an opportunity for work...and they even push people that fans like every once in a while.
Guest Megatron Posted December 1, 2003 Report Posted December 1, 2003 And by the way, when I was young the only place I could get NWA news was from PWI because I didn't have cable. I still knew who their champion's were and who was good and I knew that if they showed up in WWF they'd be something special.
Guest Korgath Posted December 1, 2003 Report Posted December 1, 2003 Can't Dustin just be someone other than Dusty Jr.? Can he come up with his own gimmick when he hits TNA? Why must he have the EXACT same persona he had in WCW? Isn't there room for change? Dustin will always remain one of the most charismatic and humourous individuals in wrestling history.
Guest Choken One Posted December 1, 2003 Report Posted December 1, 2003 Uh Nope. He can only be Goldust or Dustin Rhodes. He tried to be the Good Guy with Christian Morals and that lasted about a month..he tried to be a masked pedophile...that bombed...
Guest Mindless_Aggression Posted December 1, 2003 Report Posted December 1, 2003 Goldust is too injury prone? Kevin Nash can't even wipe his ass without tearing the bicep off the bone for God's sakes.
Guest JMA Posted December 1, 2003 Report Posted December 1, 2003 Dustin should call himself "The American Nightmare" and end his father's career. That might be cool.
Guest I Got Banned for Sucking Posted December 1, 2003 Report Posted December 1, 2003 I agree that that would be cool, but... Talking WWE, can you think of anything ground-breaking that Goldust can do?
Guest JMA Posted December 1, 2003 Report Posted December 1, 2003 I agree that that would be cool, but... Talking WWE, can you think of anything ground-breaking that Goldust can do? Hmmm. Well, there is something else. Dustin's character could become disenfranchised with wrestling and act depressed a lot. This wouldn't be like his preacher character, though. He would wear his Goldust face make-up, but not his costume (he'd just wear street clothes). I'd also have him complain about life in general to Terri (his ex). In other words, a completly miserable character who has no drive or motivation anymore.
Guest One Trick Pony Posted December 1, 2003 Report Posted December 1, 2003 And by the way, when I was young the only place I could get NWA news was from PWI because I didn't have cable. I still knew who their champion's were and who was good and I knew that if they showed up in WWF they'd be something special. And because you saw them in a magazine that means they're special? I don't judge someone until I've watched them. Everyone seems cool in a magazine. Hell I used to think Low-Ki was the bomb until I actually saw him. When I only watched WWF in 1996 I was disinterested with the Hogan character until I actually saw him in WCW .
Dandy Posted December 1, 2003 Report Posted December 1, 2003 I assume that they are dropping the "I Know What You Did" angle with Booker, right? Or will that end up being Lawler trying one last effort to ram Booker's past down our throats?
