Beneath the platinum blonde wig, sleek latex and gobs of gold face paint is Goldust the son of WWE Hall of Famer, Dusty Rhodes. Good luck trying to understand him, though. Goldust is a twisted enigma wrapped in a package of many surprises - or, as some of his past rivals probably would describe him "a sick freak".
The WWE Universe has been taken on a long, fascinating trip since The Bizarre One first strutted his bedazzled stuff in 1995. With an envelope pushing style that predated the scandalous Attitude Era, Goldust instantly became a Superstar to watch and an oddity to fear. When the cameras were rolling on him, you got the sense anything could happen.
After winning his debut match against Marty Jannetty at In Your House in '95, he soon turned his attention to a polar opposite, a greased slice of oozing machismo known as Razor Ramon. Seemingly at will, as would be the norm with "The Prince of Perversion," he prodded and manipulated Razor's mind like a chunk of Silly Putty. Capitalizing on his unusual tactics, Goldust defeated "The Bad Guy" at WWE Royal Rumble 1996 to win the Intercontinental Championship. It wasn't just his first WWE title, bur also the forst for his brand new "director", the cigar-smoking seductress Marlena.
He was portrayed by Himself, only.
