[1995-11-04-WWF-Superstars] Goldust and Bam Bam Bigelow

[Loss]

Talk about it here.

Goldust's first appearance in front of an audience on the yearbook.

 

Vince: "What a lifestyle Goldust must live." Jim Ross jokes that he can quote the entire movie Gone With The Wind.

 

Goldust quotes House of Wax and Ben Hur and starts mentioning Bam Bam Bigelow. Bigelow quickly interrupts him. Not a good segment, but this was a worthy inclusion for a few reasons:

 

(1) Bigelow had been promised the world just a few months earlier and now he was near the bottom of the card and being used to put over newcomers

(2) Goldust's act took a few months to really catch on

What was Bammer promised exactly? That if he jobbed to LT he'd get a huge babyface run, only to be undercut by the clique? Am I remembering that right?

That's about it probably.

Not a bad first time out in front of a crowd. I was surprised they didn't turn the lights on when Bam Bam came out.

First we see Skip training Rad Radford to be a BodyDonna, only to find candy in his pockets. Skip is not pleased.

 

This is the beginning of the end for Bam Bam--he was so fed up with the broken promises and evaporated push that he asked to be let out of his contract early. Despite a promotional war going on, Vince agreed if he'd put Goldust over on the way out. Dustin is getting there, but he'd still need some tweaks to his interview style, look, and entrance before he hit his stride.
