He had an MRI last week didn't he? Wonder what needs to be worked on.

That sucks. I guess they are going to bring in Finlay to fill in Goldusts schedule of dark matches and house shows now.

I thought he was getting those breasts implants after all.

Best bet is a rotator cuff injury. MRI is for soft tissue, and the wear and tear of tendons/ligaments in a wrestler make it rather likely.

[Snowman]

This is such a shame, just as he was going through something of a career renaissance too.

I hope he makes a full recovery and comes back with Booker T.

That's what I came in here to post. Glad I'm not the only one who thought that.

Good luck to Goldust though, speedy recovery and all that.

[Mozenrath]

Good luck, to one of my all time favorites.

That sucks, and it happened just as he was presumably in for one of the bigger pushes of his career...

What a pity, I've really enjoyed his work over the last few months; it's been the most substantial role he's been given since his latest return, and he's pulled it off very well.

Update on this:

- Goldust just announced on his twitter account that he'll be out "five to six months" after his shoulder surgery this Friday. His autobiography will be released next week by WWE.

Looks like he'll be missing Wrestlemania (although tbh, he probably wouldn't have been on the card anyways).

Totally sounds like a torn rotator cuff. Unless he heals fast he will be out much longer than that. It is the same injury that has kept Sting from wrestling any legit matches and made him wear a shirt for a year.

Good time for a book tour!

Conveniently enough it is!

Hope he gets it fixed and heals up properly soon.

I'm very impressed with him this run. Best he's looked in years. He seems to be happy again.

[Cactus Jack]

I'll miss him, I hope his spot is still there when he gets back.

The way I'm looking at things, if you have a project coming out, your future isn't looking too bright.

Goldust has a book coming out while having surgery.
Chris Jericho's DVD, punted in the head by Randy Orton.
The John Cena Experience comes out, man gets "fired".
Ricky Steamboat came on TV to promote his DVD set, the Nexus took him out.

Thank goodness Bobby Heenan isn't in WWE right now. I'd fear for his safety.

[Tombi]

I hope they give him a good deal of TV time for his book, he deserves it.

This run was so, so much better than the one from 2006/7 though - many fond memories. If he doesn't bounce back, I'm glad modern fans got a chance to see a glimpse of how good he actually is.

I thought this would be something to do with his skin colour. I mean, that an unhealthy tan.
