Dustin Rhodes opened up about his firing from WCW

Dustin Rhodes found his greatest success in WWE, where he wrestled under the ring name Goldust. However, before he arrived in the Stamford-based promotion, he wrestled in WCW for a couple of years. Sadly, he was controversially fired from the company after he bladed during a match, which was against company policy at the time.

The Natural recently opened up on his WCW firing on social media and responded to Eric Bischoff, stating that he was not fired because of blading but because the company needed to fire a few guys to make way for Hulk Hogan and his boys.

"For those in the IWC that say I have never had any charisma, you're absolutely wrong. You could never do what I do, EVER. I have busted my a** my whole career. Real fans know. And on another note, Eric Bischoff was speaking on my firing of WCW about bleeding. Number 1, and this will be talked about in my book at length, I reached out beforehand to Craig Leathers and was told we could. I would never disobey what my boss says. 2, why did Hogan bleed on that same ppv but it was ok. Need to get your facts straight. I lost my job and they did not. You know why? Cause Hogan and his boys had just arrived and they needed to clear out a few contracts."

Everything worked out for the better since Dustin ended up becoming a huge star anyway.

According to him, The Tribal Chief needed the victory more than Brock Lesnar, as the latter was already an established performer when he defeated ‘Taker.
