We see Goldust for the first time. His wig isn't the platinum blonde wig we have gotten used to. Instead, it's gold. His face paint is also different, and he's wearing a gold tuxedo instead of his normal outfit. He's against a green screen of the Warner Bros. studio. I like his promo, but they would get better as he got more comfortable in the act. One of Vince's greatest ideas.

I dug this from the moment I first saw it, but the reaction at large was almost universally negative, with many thinking this was the end of Dustin's career. That said, not even the most cockeyed optimist could believe that he could still be kicking ass and winning titles with this gimmick 19 years later.

 

I like the story of Dustin nodding along with Vince's pitch for the gimmick and signing off on it, because he didn't know what the word "androgynous" meant.

Watched this for the first time. The content needs a little tweaking and he was a little too quiet at times, BUT the aesthetic and the vibes are on another level! Absolute genius from jump! He just jumps off the page with the look and DEEEEPPPPPP INHALE! Incredible! Would love for a Modern Day Goldust to really shake things up nowadays.
