I think it was two things, focusing too much on gimmicks and quality of opponents. His best WCW bouts were with Guys like Austin and Windham. Although he doesn't get credit before his neck and knee issues, Austin could go.

Also I guess the character called for him to move about the ring in quite a robortic fashion and that didn't help. Defently who he faced was a big factor, his match with Ultimate Warrior has to be one of the worse matches I have ever seen. His best match of the early Goldust years was the Back Lott Brawl against Piper really like that match.

Troy I was a big fan of the early character as it was far more edgy and unpredicatable, and the refenences to movies was a nice touch. Post-1997 it really got watered down, although I did enjoy the run he had later with Booker T.

Update On Goldust Vs Cody Rhodes
Most recent creative plans has Cody Rhodes vs. Goldust/Dustin Rhodes to have a match at the Elimination Chamber pay-per-view in February.

Can't wait then. Loving Cody as of late.

That makes sense. If they get repave reviews they can extend it to Mania for a rematch. They also leave themselves with the option of Cody in MITB or defending his belt, and give themselves a chance to branch the feud off into the Colons vs Booker and Goldy for a tag title match at mania since Air Boom died

Def would like to see Goldust and Booker team back up again to help the tag division. Could make for great segments and matches if Goldust can still go like he did before he got hurt.

Colons v.s Bookah/Goldust... That seems like a long shot for a match we don't need.

I prefer this plan to have the Goldust vs. Cody match at Elimination Chamber. It would mean that Cody is kept out of the Smackdown EC match but it would be a good extra match for the PPV that puts all the top stars in two matches.

I said this would be a great fued around WM 25, but Cody was still in Legacy at the time. My thinking was after Legacy was over....they could form a tag team. Cody turns on him and of course begins the fued.

I was surprised that nothing was done with Cody and Goldust after Legacy split when Cody was struggling to make a name for himself as a singles wrestler. Eventually this has to happen but WWE haven't really hinted at it too often in recent months.

Well, it turns out that report was false as Cody is in the EC match. Here's a new story.

More on Rhodes vs Goldust
F4WOnline.com is reporting that as a result of Cody Rhodes being booked in the Elimination Chamber Match at the upcoming PPV, it's unlikely that the rumored Rhodes vs Goldust match will take place at WrestleMania 28.

Although the match could still take place at the big PPV, it should be noted that Vince McMahon was down on the idea as of a few weeks ago.

The report doesn't make much sense to me. How does Cody being booked in the Elimination Chamber match mean that his match against Goldust at WM28 is off? Correct me if I am wrong but I am pretty sure that they are seperate PPVs. He isn't going to win the title at EC so it isn't like he will be in the World title match at the PPV.

Because it's been rumoured for a while that Vince isn't keen on having the match at Mania but they were instead looking towards having it at EC.

As much as WWE loves those Brother v. Brother matches, particularly for Wrestlemania, I'm surprised they've waited this long to even think about it.

May as well wait until after EC to get a better idea of what's going to happen between those two. Even though it could be the curtain-jerker match of the WM card, it definitely doesn't seem like something they would burn early at EC. Something "special" like that seems better suited for Mania, one of those moments WWE would want you to remember for a while.
