-- WWE is still thinking about using Goldust as a regular character since they are short on wacky gimmick characters, not to mention that he surprisingly garnered nearly as many votes as Honky Tonk Man & "Rowdy" Roddy Piper for Cyber Sunday. Discussions have gone back-and-forth over the past week regarding using him. Head Raw writer Brian Gewirtz is a big advocate of Runnels as he's pushing for more comedy on Raw, and he thinks he can write good lines for him. Gewirtz also believes it's a good time for the lapsed WWE audience to see a familiar character from the past. Should Goldust get brought in, he'll pretty much be used in a way to put guys they're trying to elevate over as he's a credible opponent. Internally, there was said not be much support in bringing back Goldust, but the legit fan response greatly helped his cause in landing a job with WWE. There's also an interesting scenario WWE can eventually do with brother Cody Rhodes.
Okay everybody. Time to guess what the storyline would be between Goldust and his half (?) brother Cody. My guess is Cody being ashamed of his cross-dressing brother until Ted DiBiase starts dragging around Dustin like the end of Brokeback Mountain. Cody then goes out to defend his brother ending the undervalued Priceless Tag Team. Possible a Ted/Manu vs. Cody/Goldust PPV match.
