Loss Posted December 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 Vince McMahon interviews Goldust from his "den". Goldust quotes The Color Purple to start out, which is really funny. Someone should do a YouTube montage of all of Goldust's movie quotes. Goldust mentions that he gave Ahmed the breath of life. Goldust talks about how the taste of chocolate in one's mouth is exhilarating and starts suggestively eating a candy bar! Wild. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strummer Posted December 27, 2010 Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 you know RAW wasn't *that* bad in 1996. There was some silly stufff going on in the undercard and Shawn was miscast as a happy go lucky babyface but there were signs of a more adult themed product that would come to fruition a year later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loss Posted December 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 I prefer to call it an identity crisis. Wrestling was changing and they knew it, but they weren't sure how to respond initially, because last time this happened, they were the ones in the driver's seat initiating the changes. They were throwing a few things out there to see what would stick and getting rid of the things that didn't. More so than 1994-1995, 1996 is a transitional year for the WWF as they figure out a way forward that works. It got worse before it got better.

Tim Evans Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 Looking back at these Raw's as a adult, I had no idea Goldust was so risque as he was. I knew he was kinda freaky and loved Hollywood but wow, I'm surprised how much they got away with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BackToBionic Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 My parents knew Goldust was my favourite around this time and I was 12...what were they thinking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyonthewall2983 Posted January 17, 2013 Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 Makes you wonder how much of it was them and how much of it was Dustin. The character is an interesting continuation of the effeminate heel, plugged into a kind of 90's pop-culture sensibility of what they were trying to touch upon, on what was aiming to be a family-friendly product more or less during this time. "Identity crisis" is a good way to put it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteF3 Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 Vince's reaction to Goldust's CPR continues to be top form. You'd think Goldust had forcibly sodomized him. Goldust is in his "den," appearing to be completely naked except for his robe and a strategically placed IC title belt. Goldust regales us with the exhileration of tasting chocolate. This and the Piper vignette were examples of the character arguably crossing the line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El-P Posted March 10, 2015 Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 Holy shit, really ? Dustin was quite amazing. Such an awesome freak. The fact him and Mankind were the two best new characters on TV says a lot. When you think the third one would soon be Steve Austin, well, you get a pattern here. Yeah. Former WCW guys… Dumbass Bischoff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soup23 Posted April 4, 2015 Report Share Posted April 4, 2015 Goldust is in his den painted in gold and covering his unmentionables. He quotes some movies but also has some words for Ahmed while Vince is still disgusted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tim Posted November 4, 2017 Report Share Posted November 4, 2017 Goldust feels a step above everything else going on in the big two in terms of pushing the envelope. Has there ever been such a gap between one major act and everyone else in this sense? At this point you would think he'd be a major star for years to come. Unfortunately, that doesn't happen.
