Could it work? I mean, Cody and Dusty are in, Goldust ain't doing anything, maybe when Laycool breaks up, Layla can join as Cody's RL girlfriend. I mean, we've already seen how close the family is regardless of face/heel alignment.

Only if we get creepy, late 95/early 96 Goldust back.

I think Goldust has another one of those kinds of runs in him. He's better now than ever in the ring.

I say have Dustin drop the gimmick and just be Dustin Rhodes, and just be the kickass cowboy that he CAN be, given half a chance.

Do we get Aksana dancing in a net? She's got ties to the Rhodes family, after all.

You know, if we included Layla and some other character we could tie to them somehow, I could actually see this working.

They should have the Shockmaster as an enforcer.

Mostly because that sounds like a really badass title. Indeed. Have him do a "shoot" promo about how degrading Goldust is at this point in his career, pay tribute to his dad as the "American Dream", then hit the crowd with "American Nightmare".

Problem is they'll have to find a way to make this different from the other times he tried to ditch the Goldust gimmick.

Isn't Goldust injured right now, anyway?

Isn't Goldust injured right now, anyway? He is? Then it'd be much easier to turn him. Cody has a match, he comes out no facepaint, no gimmicks, gives Cody's opponent a neckbreaker and helps Cody steal one. Then they have a family hug. He can explain to the crowd how he wasted his talent pandering to them and even though he didn't hold a title for years his family still supported him. When the whole world thought of him as a joke, some backstage promo guy, his family still supported him, Cody still looked up to him. And now it was his job to help Cody get to where he should have been but was too indulged in the cheering crowd to make it.

Problem is they'll have to find a way to make this different from the other times he tried to ditch the Goldust gimmick. The time he burned the stuff in the trash can was ridiculous. "Goldust dies tonight!" Like he didn't have other outfits ready. Shoot, earlier in the year, he wasn't even wearing typical Goldust stuff, as he was "TAFKAGoldust". Maybe he was just getting rid of the old until he got some new stuff. Keep him as Goldust, but like the guy said above me, bring back creepy Goldust from the early 1996 era.

Once Cody is an estabilished main eventer then maybe yes. However I think he needs to get there on his own atm and I'm sure he will do it.

This would work, but only if it's a face stable. We already have a heel stable for Raw and Smackdown.
In addition to that, it'd be damned hard to sell Dusty Rhodes as a heel.
