5 WWE veterans Vince McMahon respects the most

#2 Goldust

Goldust is another name that we haven't really seen around for a while. We would see him pop up on television occasionally, involved in some minor television storylines. His last major story was with R-Truth, and that had a big build-up and their team didn't even last as long as expected.

Goldust may not have ever been a "main event" talent in WWE, but he too has packed a lot of miles with the company. When he decided to jump ship from WCW, Bruce Prichard and Vince McMahon pitched him a gimmick of an "androgynous" character.

Goldust was considered uncomfortable by many, in what was a character quite ahead of its time. Perhaps people weren't ready for such a character, but he's lasted far longer than a lot of people would have thought he did. Perhaps out of respect, McMahon continues to keep Goldust employed, and when the time comes, he may very well bring him back for a small storyline.
