One of the weirdest wrestlers to step foot in the WWF/WWE, Goldust, went through a variety of different forms of the unusual gimmick. Goldust, the son of the legend Dusty Rhodes, is an underrated wrestler that has usually been used as a bizarre comedic role for the majority of his career with the WWF.

Goldust has had a long career with the WWF, which hasn't been so fruitful in terms of title has put him in the second in the record for most Royal Rumbles participated in, behind Kane. Over the 13 Royal Rumbles that Goldust has participated in, he has never topped his performance at the 1988 Royal Rumble.

Coming in at the 17th entry, Goldust was in the midst of his run as the Artist Formerly Known as Goldust. He managed to eliminate Mankind and Vader before being eliminated by Chainz finishing 7th.
