Goldust Goes Solo

Recently, Goldust turned on R-Truth and went heel This marks a solo push for Goldust. He is going to be 50 in a few years. He is obviously close to retirement. This could possibly be his last good push. Regardless of how it goes, he is obviously going into the WWE Hall of Fame. He comes from a respected wrestling family. He has won a lot of titles. And he just has an iconic character.

This current character, though, has some potential. Wrestling fans have praised Goldust in the last few years for upping his game in the ring, particularly around the time he was teaming with his brother. But his character change seems to have really refreshed him. I would like to see him used well. That does not mean a title reign. You can push someone well without a title involved. I am talking non-title midcard feuds and storylines. He can be good there.

How likely is it that the WWE does it? The WWE has been good at creating some creative interest in lower-midcarders in recent years, but then they drop the ball and they fizzle out. Remember Darren Young getting a push last year? That looked interesting for a while. But it fizzled out, even before he got injured. That can very well happen with Goldust. It would be nice to at least get a few good weeks out of him before the depush.
