You'll never forget the name of.... *Inhale*
PLATINUM! *BITE*
Expect Dustin Rhodes to eventually morph into something along the lines of the Goldust persona without using the name. One potential ring name I've heard was "Platinum." From PWInsider. ![]() |

Seven.
I would love for them to bring that character back and actually do something with it. |

LOL, I just realized how the "I Still Remember" thing fits into the Goldust "You'll never forget" gimmick...

This could be interesting I guess, but I thought the Rhodes promo last night was really really bad.

Why not have him just be Dustin Runnels, who's losing it becasue of the business and what not. Not some over the top charactor that TNA would have no way to get over.

Would Ric Flair still be Ric Flair if his name was Haywood Jablome?
Would Stone Cold Steve Austin still be Stone Cold Steve Austin if he was The Ice Block Steve Williams? Would The Rock really be The Rock if his ring name was Dwayne Johnson? Would Hulkamania really have run wild if he was just Terry in a pair of yellow trunks? No. In "Romeo and Juliet" the question is asked "What is in a name?" Everything. The name is the root of who someone is. If someone asks you who you are you're going to respond with your name, not with a short essay about yourself. You're going to say "I'm Xero Limit 126", not "I'm that one guy with a phantos avatar on tpww.net. My hobbies include long walks on the beach, doing chairty work for the homeless, and kicking kittens." Maybe I'm looking too deep into this, but I think that name is needed for the persona to really work. Goldust works with the Hollywood gimmick. The movie quotes, the wide screen intro, the music, everything fits with Goldust. TNA trying to rehash a persona that I mark out for just won't work. |

The name's not a HUGE deal, but trying to emulate a past WWE gimmick is just busch league.

My question is, why did he turn down coming back to WWE? Dustin Rhodes/Runnels/Golddust is fanstic in WWE, he never fails to entertain me. But outside of WWE, he sucks. Plus, he could come in with his dad and brother and make for interesting tv.

I think it's more that WWE doesn't want him due to his recent troubles (no showing, etc).
OR TNA have snapped him up cos WWE might have come a knocking somewhere down the line. |
