Dustin Runnels was once concerned that he would never step out of his father's shadow, the legendary Dusty Rhodes.

So when he made the jump from WCW to WWE, he developed a new persona, a character so well crafted in appearance and sensibilities that he remains active and relevant today; Goldust.

If you go back and look at some of the most iconic moments in sports entertainment history, you'll find Goldust front and center. From his controversial homophobia inducing gimmick to his impersonations of other wrestlers to his Hollywood Lot brawl with Roddy Piper, Goldust has racked up a lot of notches on his belt.

Why he's a legend: It's simple; You will NEVER forget the name of...Goldust! His unique appearance, smooth technical work in the ring, and longevity have made him a household name among wrestling fans.
