10 Gimmicks that never should've worked, but did

#2 Goldust

Not many people could have succeeded with this gimmick!

Dustin Runnels is no stranger to changing gimmicks on a regular basis. Throughout his legendary career, Dustin has worked under roughly 10 different names, or gimmicks. However, once his career finally comes to an end, it'll be Goldust that fans will always cleave to.

Looking back at the inception of Goldust, it makes one wonder if this was some sort of disciplinary action taken against him.

After all, the man is the son of The American Dream, a man's man! Yet they decide to cake him up with gold makeup, squeeze him into a big gold onesie, give him a robe, and top it all off with a wig? But, in true Rhodes family fashion, he not only made it work, but he OWNED the gimmick.

Goldust is undoubtedly nearing the end of his storied career. Through it all, he's been a solid, consistent source of quality entertainment and I have zero doubt that the WWE Hall of Fame has a place reserved for The Bizarre One.
