When you're the son of a famous pro wrestler, the inevitable comparisons to your parent are both a blessing and a curse. It's a blessing because their fame can open a lot of doors and create many opportunities for your own career.
However, it can be a curse because you will forever be struggling to escape from your famous father's shadow. In order to better establish himself on his own merits, Dustin Runnels, son of the legendary American Dream Dusty Rhodes, crafted a persona guaranteed to make people notice him: Goldust.
For the past decade, Goldust has been freakish, but PG. During his early run with the WWE, however, he played heavily into homophobia to throw off his opponents. He developed an amorous interest in the then-president of the WWE (on camera), Rowdy Roddy Piper. Their "Hollywood Backlot Brawl" would actually range outside of the arena before returning to the ring for the finish, where Piper won.
Goldust then lost to Triple H in a forgettable match the following year. He would team with manager Luna Vachon to take on Marc Mero and Sable in another losing effort at WrestleMania XIV, and then lost a fourth time in a row in a fatal four way for the Intercontinental Championship. The rest of Goldust's losses have all been in battle royals.
