[1997-11-17-WWF-Raw] Goldust and Vader

[Loss]

Talk about it here.

Goldust is wearing a gold pajama top, black pantyhose and gold house shows. He also has a checkerboard on his face and shows up with his arm in a sling. Of course it's a ruse and he hits Vader with something he was hiding in the sling. The Goldust stuff gets weirder and weirder as each week passes.

Goldust don’t feel like wrestling tonight. His arm is in the sling. He ends up clocking Vader though. Not the best ring gear by Goldust.

Cornette and JR crack jokes about Goldust's attire. Vader looks perplexed at what is going on and gets cracked with some foreign object. Odd we didn't see the Rude segment from this show given the significance of it.

This is a weird combination of shock value for shock value's sake combined with fairly traditional old-school southern wrasslin' booking. I thought Cornette was off creative by this point but maybe he or Bruce Prichard still had some reach.

I'm beginning to love TAFKA Goldust. He's awesome. He & Vader are scheduled to have match, but he comes out in a sling. Gerald Brisco comes out with him & has a doctor's waiver that says he can't compete. I love Goldust curtly saying he's an invalid. Vader still doesn't buy it & crumples up the doctor's note. Goldust pulls something out of his sling & whacks Vader in the head with it. Fun segment.
