#2 Dustin Rhodes - 50

We probably shouldn't call him Goldust anymore.
We probably shouldn't call him Goldust anymore.

Dustin Rhodes has been wrestling since the late 1980s with his main heyday taking place during the 1990s and early 2000s. He was underutilized in the late 2010s until he partnered with R-Truth and alongside his brother, Cody. While the Rhodes Brothers did win the tag team belts together by defeating The Shield, both men left the WWE feeling underused and underappreciated. As Goldust, Dustin has been a bizarre heel, a comedic face, and a cagey veteran.

Cody upped his profile in both NJPW, Impact (briefly), and Ring of Honor before creating All Elite Wrestling alongside The Elite and Tony Khan. As Cody was changing the business, Dustin was sparingly used in WWE.

If you have seen any of Dustin Rhodes' work over the last five years, he appears as if he's in the best shape of his career. It's a refreshing thing for the man formerly known as Goldust, as he had his share of battles with personal demons.

Even in AEW, he's proven to be an important part in storylines as both Cody's opponent (at Double or Nothing), brother, ally, and tag team partner. Originally known as 'The Natural,' Rhodes is also a gifted mind due to his years in the business. It was difficult to get out from under the shadow of his famous father, but Dustin has done more than enough to stand out on his own.
