Goldust turned down WWE contract (spoilery)

[erik316wttn]

The Wrestling Obersver Newsletter said Goldust was offered a contract by WWE to come back as a mega-heel. Initially, he would have paired off in the tag match tonight as a face at SNME and it would have been an 8-man tag (Kamala would have been on the heel side). He then would have entered into a program with Santino Marella for the IC title. Had he gotten over, he could have worked programs with Cena and HHH.

He backed out of SNME citing his back was in too much pain.

This pisses me off. One of the main things I've wanted is Goldust back in his best role, a mega heel, and wearing the IC title. A main-event push against the likes of Cena and HHH would have been heaven for me.

[Cranjis McBasketball]

Can't say I blame Goldust.

WWE: Dustin, baby, we love ya. Please come back.
Dustin: Cool.

Months later........

WWE: Sorry, Dustin gotta cut you loose. We'll call you again in two years or so.

I agree it pisses me off to no end how they treat him...Every damn time his character is on screen he is mega over...Hes been one of the most consistently "over" guys in the company for over a decade now yet they continue to fire him then bring him back...thing is it still doesnt stop the fans from paying attention to him...Good for Dustin and not letting them "wish him well" again

[WarriorWarrior]

As if hed go against Cena and HHH. Hes not a main eventer and would look silly in a main event.

If they built him up properly he could be a credible main eventer.

Hmmmm I might be the only one, but i never quite "got" the Goldust character

[Dynamite Kid]

Goldust would be more credible in the main event than a lot of the roster right now.

Going on the other 'news' post about Dustin today...I think he's got some problems.

[Next Level was WRONG]

Why?


His work during his last run was nothing to shout about. And there's plenty of guys already on the roster who have yet to be given a chance to prove themselves that could have used that opportunity.

[Cactus Jack]

Argh, this makes me sad.

Who are you saying why to? Was it me?

[boiledewokthe3rd]

Is Dusty still one of the bookers?

[robferatu]

That really sucks. I've always been a mark for Goldust, but I understand he's going through some personal problems. Still it's kinda sad he won't be coming back.

[franchisedavis]

he must have some real problems to turn down this type of money

[Deleted]

If this report is to be believed his back must be completely destroyed to turn down a offer like that.

Goldust could easily be a credible main eventer.

Boo-urns for the removal of Kamala.

[Johnny Danger (Godz)]

WTF ARE YOU SERIOUS!? GAH! The one thing that could make me enjoy WWE again...sigh...

Who said he turned down the money?

[willywonka666]

I'd rather Dustin be a face, I seriously doubt theyd push him ever again, it's Cody's turn now

[Stu]

Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute...... Saturday Night's Main Event is on tonight?

*actually, I knew it was on; I just completely forgot.

[Can you afford to pay me, Gah]

How many times is Goldust going to get hired and fired in his life?

[Dean-o]

I would love a return of Goldust, in a mega heel position. His promos are gold, no pun intended.
