A Million $ Push For Goldust

After a few weeks of teasing that someone wanted something from Ted DiBiase and Maryse, it was revealed that Goldust was behind all this. He does not want Maryse, as if he needed a new valet. He does not want Ted DiBiase, which would have been an interesting angle to pull off in PG WWE. He wants Ted's title belt.

When the whole tease started, the obvious choice the WWE was pushing was that someone wanted Maryse, especially after the small issues the two had after losing a match. I was expecting a swerve. However, my idea was that they may have a diva come into the picture who wanted Ted, and thus try to take Maryse's place by his side. A little Raw diva feud would have risen for Maryse. Why would the WWE do anything interesting with their divas? Stupid me! They still may pull together something with NXT, but this does seem to be for Goldust and DiBiase, thus far. I was surprised to see Goldust. It wasn't a bad surprise.

As is common when wanting to make sure people know you are not just doing blind love, let me just say that I have never even been a real Goldust fan. That is the truth. I still liked the segment. Goldust actually sounded like a serious threat, not like the joke he typically comes off as these past few years. It was like a rebirth.

Yes, it is only the Million Dollar Championship. Yes, he may likely job sooner or later, whether he wins the thing or not, to put over DiBiase. Yes, the WWE may even treat this as a bathroom break feud. But this is an example of something I find entertaining that does not have to be treated as a complete joke or only have value in match quality. Goldust actually seems credible. Both DiBiase and Goldust could benefit from this. WWE would be a lot better if they built more feuds and storylines like this. Then again, how long until they ruin it?
