Goldust/Cody Rhodes Feud

[Dave at the Movies]

Does anyone think they are going to be smart enough to make this happen eventually? I mean Sure Dustin Runnels is only 39 years old but he isn't getting any younger.

I think this would be the best way to do it.

Have the new Legacy group beat down Goldust. This would be explained by him being a veteran and a failed second generation superstart(since he never got the world title.) They can put big emphasis where he tries to join The Legacy and they just think he is weird and Cody tries to get him in but eventually turns on him as well and does the big injure move to take Goldust out.

Then keep Goldust off TV for two months and bring him back as just regular Texas themed Dustin Rhodes. Have him feud with the Legacy for a while and then just Cody and have him ultimately lose the feud putting The Legacy group over and possibly bringing Goldust back as a more serious character and getting Goldust over for one last big WWE run. They could also do later where Cody is turned on by the other Legacy guys and Goldust comes in for the save and they team up to feud with the other Legacy members.

I know a lot of you will doubt that they can put over Dustin Rhodes as just himself but it could work. I mean they got freaking Hornswoggle over for crying out loud. They could also bring in Dusty as his manager for the whole thing which would help him get over since Dusty is always over with WWE crowds.

What do you guys think?

[Crappler El 0 M]

Yeah, stuff like that has been done, but what hasn't been done in this day and age? I would bring him back not as Dustin Rhodes, but as less comedic, more calculated, mind games-playing Goldust. He could freak out Legacy and maybe get the better of them in some way for awhile before eventually putting over Cody and Legacy. At least you're coming up with ideas for Goldust. I wish WWE would do the same and it's their job to do it.

Maybe you could do as forum members have suggested recently and put Goldust with Boogeyman. They both are comedic characters who use mindgames and wear facepaint. Seems like that could work well to me.

As long as Dusty himseld doesn't wrestle I like it.*

[Janitor From Mars]

BoogeyDust has a nice sound to it.

[Mozenrath]

it'll likely happen eventually. It's not really a secret that Goldust is Dusty's son, he used to dress up like him and poke fun at his dad, so I'm sure it'll happen eventually.

They could have Goldust try to join Legacy in a way that keeps him as a comedic face, like what he did with WWE's nWo with Booker T, and when Mankind was "trying" to get on Vince's good side, and accidentally ruining Vince's life, such as the debut of Mr. Socko, and trying to bring him presents.

^ Yeah, I agree with you man. Have the comedy Golddust try to join Legacy,

With Cody being serious and embarrassed of his brother rather than trying to bring him into the group. Then have Mind Games Golddust toy with all of their members for a few months, and then have a moment in the ring where Orton is about to destroy Golddust only to have Cody stop him, showing sympathy only for a second for him to actually do the deed himself.

Have Dustin off TV for weeks to sell, and then go from there.



I like the idea of Dustin Rhodes returning as an all business kicking arse wrestler going through Manu etc to get to his little brother, maybe even have him in a match with Orton where if he wins he gets Cody at Wrestlemania, putting him over big time with the fans if he wins, (Orton could be attacked by Batista, Cena, Jericho, HHH, Dusty whoever to keep his image.) It isn't Bret VS Owen but it's something fresh and interesting, and adds Dustin to the side of the guys against Legacy.

I know it proves I have a sick mind, but considering the orgins of the Gold Dust character, and the way his "mind games" used to be, maybe the phrase "toy with all of their members" was a bit...off?

completely on topic, and

[Snowman]

They could also do later where Cody is turned on by the other Legacy guys and Goldust comes...

I'm...I'm sorry, what?

[Joekishi]

See with all the weird stuff, now it got me thinking have they wrote a Goldust/Cody fanfic yet?

Also Cody needs to do the Shattered dreams to his own Brother, that would be major heel heat.

It seems like you just might have started the Goldust/Cody fanfic.

[Dave at the Movies]

All I have to say is if they don't do this before they release Goldust again I riot.

[bigdaddyfive]

It'd be harder NOT to run this feud in my opinion.

I mean, it's already there waiting to be written - it's simplistic, believable and would definitely help put Cody over.


























Which means they won't do it.

What, is this TNA now? Sorry, couldn't resist.

Goldust vs Fartdust? interesting......

It depends. Does the "Mike Rotunda" rule apply to Goldust? You know, the one where Mike Rotunda and IRS are treated as totally different people? I'd personally like to see this feud. You guys have come up with plenty of perfectly good scenarios for it already. Maybe Goldust, his new friend Boogeyman and a returning face Ted Dibiase Jr. can work together against Legacy for a few matches? Then they'd ALL be doing something.

I could honestly see that happening, oddly.

If that is what they do I fully blame you for giving them a really stupid idea. Ted Dibiase Jr, Goldust, and Boogeyman. that is the stupidest pairing ever. It makes absolutely no sense at all.

Sure it would make simple sense and be a huge failed comedy fest but they need to take The Legacy more seriously than they have their last few big storylines such as Hornswoggle being Vince's son.


Best way for them to do it is how I described in the first post either with or without the Dustin Rhodes wrestling as himself part.

Also the Mike Rotundo rule does not work here. They admitted several times in the late 90s that Goldust is in fact Dustin Rhodes. It is actually what really got his gimmick to be taken more seriously and part of the reason why he became a face.

I think you're being a little harsh. Only problem I have is that Boogeydust has no reason to have a beef with Legacy, while Dustin could always say Cody is using Dusty's name but without giving Dusty his due, while DiBiase would have a reason to be angry with Orton.

Manu, I guess he could beat the crap out of Boogeyman, but the crowd would probably cheer. They love Boogeyman, but I think even they know he's pretty much a face Santino type of character.
