Goldust retires
From his twitter

Quote:
Goldust apparently announced his retirement Tuesday evening on Twitter.

"i am retired," he wrote, adding, "byeeeeeeeee."

Though it should be noted that in a previous tweet, he said he was very tired coming off the road and heading to the beach.

The multi-time Intercontinental Champion has been largely relegated to Superstars since being drafted to Raw in April, having only competed once on WWE's flagship program. In what may have been his final match in WWE, "The Golden One" teamed up with Yoshi Tatsu at Monday night's Superstars taping in Philadelphia, taking on Zack Ryder and Primo.

Thank you Goldust for all the memories, especially during the Attitude Era. Loved your angles that you did with Val Venis and how you made yourself and Terri look like lovable psychos

After 22 years in the ring, he had a good career. I especially loved his runs in WCW.

Damn, that sucks. Ever since his move to ECW last year, he'd been putting on his best matches since the '90s.

But, he's 41 years old and has been wrestling for over 2 decades. I don't blame him for hanging 'em up.

Besides, he'll probably be back for occasional appearances.

Noooo..damn. Always really enjoyed Goldust's work. I'm glad he ended his career though with WWE by putting on some fun matches under his most famous persona, instead of ending it in Florida with a pet rat.

If this is really the end of his career, I gotta say that I really enjoyed it

Everytime Goldust would pop in for an extremely short match or vignette, I wondered if he grew tired of putting on all that paint just for that.

Well, it wasn't exactly unexpected on my part. He was a pretty solid performer, maybe not up there with the main eventers of his time or anything, but what he lacked as far as in-ring ability he more than made up for with his great character and that character's bizzare sense of humor.

We'll miss ya, Goldie, and you can rest assured that this fan will never forget the name of (inhales deeply) (pauses, resuming speaking in a slightly deeper voice)...GOLDUST!

I've always loved Goldust. I actually would have liked to have seen him get a bit of a retirement angle before he disappeared off into the sunset. A "passing the torch" moment to Yoshi Tatsu or Zack Ryder could have been cool. You'll be missed, Goldie.

He's never been one of my favourite wrestlers/personalities but I would have liked him to go out with a bit more fanfare. It's a shame that they ended ECW for guys like Goldust - he was never gonna get a major role on either of the big shows.

Like Afterlife said, I would have gotten into a fued between him and his brother.

I'm sure, if he feels up to it down the road, he can always come back and do it.

So the only thing we're basing him being retired on is him TWEETING that he was very tired coming off the road... and then following that up with a TWEET saying "i am retired..... byeeeeeeeeee"?

So, we're completely ignoring the very strong possibility that he was fucking around and making reference to how much he enjoyed a little time off with a little sarcasm?

I mean, I guess it's possible that he decided to announce his retirement in that fashion but it could have also been a random, silly twitter comment. Just sayin'.

Yeah, he coulda meant it as 'retiring for the night', aka going to bed.

Although if he's done for good, then I guess thanks for the momories etc, and good on him for getting out before ever suffering any uber serious injuries.

Yeah, I think Goldust would have been an awesome pro...certainly a more sensible choice than Cody Rhodes, at least.

I actually made him a Pro in my EWR game, with his rookie being the golden-haired Drake Brewer, who kinda looks like Heidenreich. Comedy ensued.

A sad loss for the WWE, for sure.

I would have loved a Cody Rhodes/Goldust feud for obvious reasons, although that feud would have been underrated. Also, he ought to be commended for carrying Sheamus back in ECW. It was the feud between those two that gave the green light for Sheamus to jump over to Raw. Enjoy your retirement, Dustin, and thanks for the memories.

As its been said, very underrated guy with a great work ethic and passion for the business. A feud between he and Cody would have been classic. Especially if they knew this was his last major contribution by putting his brother over. And I can imagine all the fun they could have had with this regarding all the Goldust mindgames, interactions, etc. Could have been a cool little angle. Goodbye Goldust, have some great memories of you...everything from standing up against the Hart Foundation in '97 to Stone Cold Steve Austin giving a Stunner to "Baby-Dust" and then throwing him in a portable bathroom....
