Was this a work or shoot? https://youtu.be/P4zsyUmRTRo

a 'whoot'

This basically.

At that time he really did resent the idea of goldust. But hey, he came back semi-reinvented it and is now for sure going to be in the hall of fame. Not many have a career like he does. Even if it's mid-carding at best for life.

>>2610362
didn't he get huge heat when goldust first started in 95? faggots weren't too far removed from being a medically recognized mental illness in 75.

A worked shoot that he worked himself into therefore shooting on Vince.

Brother.

Yeah but he never really liked the idea of it since he grew up a good ol boy. He did his best though despite it and it was an over gimmick. It's just that it kept getting more and more extreme.

The Powers That B Angle in WCW was next level stuff. Vince Russo was really ahead of his time and the average wrasslin fan was too dumb to appreciate it the content given to them.

where does the drop off point in russo's wcw begin

>At that time he really did resent the idea of goldust

And to think, the whole reason he accepted the gimmick in the first place was because Vince asked him to play an androgynous character, and he agreed.....while not knowing what the word 'androgynous' meant

I don't doubt that he probably disliked the Goldust gimmick, but I hope he acknowledges now that he owes Vince for his career being as long and successful as it's been.

Mediocre wrestler, mediocre mic worker, mediocre look, mediocre everything. If he had tried to be Dustin Rhodes his entire career, he would've fallen off the radar after a few years and would be David Flair-tier today.

The gimmick is the reason he still has a job at 48 and why he'll be in the Hall in a few years.

A worked shoot obviously, after they realized child molester was a bad gimmick even if fag gimmick got over in WWF.

Not that guy, but I agree he would have faded away without the Goldust gimmick. Look at him, there's nothing at all remarkable about his vanilla look.

There never was one.

Show me anywhere where he excels in any of those categories

What the fuck?

>>2610316
I forgot Goldust was in WCW

>>2610316
>my unique sexual deviant gimmick that I got over with sucked, here's my lame Michael Myers/Undertaker ripoff gimmick

The Goldust gimmick was his idea to distance himself from his father's legacy and make it on his own.

It's obviously a work.

>>2614289
Listen to the promo, he says he isn't doing that shit and it's corny.

>>2610316

Did someone asked for an egg!!??

Has there been any other gimmick ever that a wrestler buried right away WHILE speaking out against to the crowd?
