    Goldust is known for being a bizarre individual in the ring.

    He started his career wrestling as Dustin Rhodes, the son of the legendary Dusty Rhodes, in Texas. He had great success there, and then he joined WCW and won several championships, including the WCW US Championship. He teamed with the big stars of WCW and has wrestled in several great matches.

    He left WCW and joined the WWF in 1995 in the movie star gimmicked wrestler called Goldust. He was bizarre and acted differently towards the male wrestlers. He soon brought in his real life wife of Terri Runnels under the name of Marlena. One of his strangest matches was at WrestleMania XIII against Roddy Piper.

    He left for a while and resurfaced in WCW again, but it was bought in 2001 by the WWF and he was nowhere to be seen. He made his return to WWE at the 2002 Royal Rumble. Since then he has been a force to be reckoned with. Later on in the year 2002, he teamed up successfully with Booker T and they won won the WWE Tag Team Championships together. He was let go from the WWE as he never became a favorite of the fans again.
