Goldust remains gold as a character
So, after two months of nothing of particular note, it appears that Goldust is returning to his role as the local freak in WWE via some humorous interactions with R-Truth. I suppose the obvious comparison that could be drawn from the segment, where Goldust impersonated a bellhop as R-Truth checked out of a hotel, is with the fondly remembered team of Booker T and Goldust because of the obvious reason…both are comedy characters. I mean R-Truth is more overtly comedic than Booker but the main appeal of seeing those two together in 2002 was their interaction which we have seen with other tag teams such as Team Hell No.
It is quite astounding how still, to this day; Goldust is so good at playing his character that I never find myself cursing his presence in something and he remains reliably funny to watch. He experienced career resurgences with Booker T and his brother Cody, who you may now know as Stardust, and it appears that WWE is going to try that route again this time with R-Truth who I have always enjoyed as the delusional comedy character as opposed to the rapper.
I’m not sure what the ultimate goal will be for Goldust and R-Truth especially in a division that has one team sucking up all the attention and heat to the point that they have no over competition but I say put The Truth is Gold (Yeah that’s their catchphrase now) and the New Day in the same vicinity and we could be do for some great hijinks.
(Quick Thought: What did you think I meant when I said the obvious reason?)
