He's one of the most underrated and underappreciated WWE Superstars of all-time and even today and even though he’s just a few cups of coffee away from being 50 years old, Goldust is still competing full-time alongside R-Truth in their duo commonly known as The Golden Truth, until his recent apparent heel turn on Smackdown Live.
Early on in his career, when he was simply known as Dustin Rhodes, it was a lot easier to use his actual hometown as the city he was billed from. However, once Goldust was born, everything changed and for obvious reasons, Goldust just did not seem like the type of character you would see out on the streets of Austin, jumping from bar-to-bar.
With that said, a place such as Hollywood seemed to be much more fitting for someone as eccentric as Goldie. It’s also worth nothing that there was a time when Goldust hailed from “the deepest, darkest corner of his mind.”

Jonathan Carpenter is a pro wrestling journalist at Sportskeeda. After obtaining a degree in political science from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, he started writing WWE articles in 2016. Jonathan believes integrity is vital in journalism and ensures his work is high on accuracy. He conducts in-depth research and verifies information from various sources before curating a feature.
Jonathan has engaged in many meaningful conversations with prominent pro wrestling personalities like Drew McIntyre and DDP. He grew up in Memphis, admiring Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan during WWE’s Golden Era in the ‘80s. He has attended many pro wrestling events and credits The Hulkster for making his childhood memorable.
Jonathan, a big fan of Bray Wyatt, would like to see the latter's brother, Bo Dallas, continue his legacy as Uncle Howdy. If he were to work on the storyline, Jonathan would book the return of Erick Rowan as Howdy’s muscle. He thinks it would be a great way to honor the former Universal Champion.
When not writing pro wrestling features, Jonathan likes to collect sports memorabilia and has amassed a large collection of event-used and autographed relics over the years.
