Goldust recently appeared on the Talk is Jericho podcast, where he shared how his idea for a match between himself and Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania was ‘scoffed’ at by Vince McMahon and turned down.
In case you didn’t know…
Dustin Rhodes spent his entire career in WWE as Goldust – a gimmick that he managed to get over better than anyone could have ever imagined. However, despite his ability to pull off a gimmick that is so difficult, he was never given the proper respect he deserved by the WWE creative team, with him spending more time in funny situations instead of proper feuds.
Since leaving WWE, he managed to have an excellent match against his brother Cody Rhodes at AEW: Double or Nothing. After an upcoming tag team match with his brother, he may retire from the wrestling business once and for all.
The heart of the matter
While Goldust and Cody Rhodes were given a match against each other, it was at WWE Fastlane, a pay-per-view that no one cared about. As a result, the feud was not given time to build and the pair had a lacklustre match for which Goldust takes the blame.
He said that when he pitched a match between himself and his brother at WrestleMania to Vince McMahon, the Chairman was not convinced it was good enough and scoffed.
He went on to say that in a pay-per-view which had 7 hours and all sorts of matches, there was no reason that they could not have had a match.
Dustin and Cody Rhodes certainly proved them wrong after Double or Nothing, in what was possibly the best match of the night by far.
What’s next?
Cody Rhodes and Dustin Rhodes are set to team up to take on The Young Bucks in a tag team match at AEW: Fight For The Fallen on the 13th of July.
