Dustin Rhodes Reveals The Real Person Behind Creation of Goldust Character

TLDR

Dustin Rhodes revealed that Vince McMahon was the mastermind behind the creation of the Goldust character, not Rhodes himself. Speaking on The F Y'all Podcast, Rhodes explained that McMahon called him after his WCW release and pitched the androgynous character concept, which Rhodes admitted he didn't understand at the time and had to look up in a dictionary after agreeing to the role. The character went on to become one of WWE's most memorable personas of the 1990s.
