Beneath the platinum blond wig, sleek latex and gobs of gold face paint is 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 Razors mind like a chunk of Silly Putty. Capitalizing onhis unusual tactics, Goldust defeated"The Bad Guy" at the 1996 Royal Rumble to win the Intercontinental Championship. It wasnt just his first WWE title, but also the first for his brand new "director," the cigar-smoking seductress Marlena.Other memorable rivalries followed, as Goldust targeted Marc Mero, Brian Pillman and Vader, while dumping Marlena briefly for an even stranger companion, Luna Vachon. Following some time spent in WCW, The Bizarre One didnt miss a beat in his 2002 return to WWE, finding great success in the hardcore division — a suitable home for aSuperstar who does everything in excess.Although he wasn’t an active Superstar in October 2013, a conflict between his brother, Cody Rhodes, and The Authority brought Goldust back to WWE as he began to fight for his family name. After Cody was fired and Dusty Rhodes was punched out by Big Show in a humiliating moment, The Bizarre One and his brother challenged Seth Rollins& Roman Reigns at WWE Battleground. With Dusty in their corner, the Rhodes boys beat The Shield and earned spots on the active roster. Soon after, The Bizarre One and his brother defeated Rollins & Reigns to become the new WWE Tag Team Champions.The team stumbled after losing their titles to The New Age Outlaws, but the gilded grappler got back on the right track after aligning himself with a star... Stardust that is. The two eccentric Superstars beat The Usos to win the WWE Tag Team Titles at Night of Champions. And after bringing a true sense of bizarre back to the titles, Gold &Stardust dropped their illustrious championships in a Fatal 4-Way Match at Survivor Series. The duo stumbled from there, losing matches to The Ascension and The New Day and displaying obvious animosity both insideand outside the ring. Goldust attempted to hold the team together, but things fell apart when Stardust attacked him on Raw. At WWE Fastlane, Goldusts veteranknow-how earned him a victory over Stardust, but The Bizarre One could not escape his brothers wrath, as Goldust was viciously attacked backstage by the cosmic competitor.At Survivor Series 2015, Goldust made a shocking return as the mystery partner of The Dudley Boyz, Neville and Titus O’Neil, facing off against The Miz, Stardust, The Ascension and Bo Dallas. Goldust tallied two eliminations in the contest and helped lead his team to victory.
