Apparently the main reason Dusty's son Dustin Rhodes took the Goldust gimmick was him not realizing what the word androgynous meant. He was willing to take any gimmick presented to him after leaving WCW and regretted the decision after he looked up the word in a dictionary afterwards.

Came from a recent episode of the Edge & Christian podcast show with Goldust as the guest.

That's actually a bit of a revelation. I think a portrait has been painted of Goldust as a guy who was willing to say "yes" to pretty much everything. I mean, he was still a trooper, but the idea that he only accepted because he wasn't sure what it was is pretty funny.

There's something hot about brand loyalist Becky.

I'd agree with that. I mean it was the first time she got to play heel since coming to the main roster. Makes me want to see a proper Heel Becky run. I could see it happening when Charlotte eventually takes the Women's title.

It'd be fun for Becky. I dunno, I just don't see women's wrestling in the WWE getting really good. It might be fresh paint for Becky, but it will probably threaten her position as the good girl that always has a purpose being cut down. But then she can always go back to doing that afterwards. Whatever.

I'd enjoy the gifs.

Completely random but wanted to read what Harvey Wippleman was up to these days. Then found out he nearly died in a car crash where Joey Marella (referee) died and who was the son of Gorilla Monsoon.

Lol remember Waylon Mercy/Dan Spivey? Well after his retired from wrestling he attempted to become a male model.

According to PWI, WWE currently has major plans for RAW's 25th anniversary show next year.

1000th episode of SmackDown! is also next year.

"The longest running episodic television series" my anus.

My god, Christian is such a dick guilting Zayn onto the podcast. It's hilarious.

WWE recently released a new photo shoot meant to be a celebration of Kane but someone really goofed up with this. Not sure how Natty with cat ears is somehow celebrating Kane.

Only Becky managed to pull off the tribute stuff.

Only a month after leaving WhatCulture, Cultaholic have fired Adam Blampied.

Makes sense considering his accusations screwed up the new company's plans and probably even tainted their name by association.

Lol did you hear the story Christian told about meeting Goldust for the first time? Lol fucking hell was that ever funny. Their podcast is so good.

I guarantee it was just supposed to be a generic Halloween photo gallery but then they went "Hey, this has a kind of red theme"

Kane has been around for 20 years.

Kane has been relevant for about 4 of them, non consecutively.

I was a mark for a Kane in my infancy, but man, the dude just won't go away, will he? I think I generally like what I know about the human being. He sounds like a smart dude who is generally kind and helpful. But god, stop Chokeslamming people in 2017.

I hope he double chokeslams the Revival when they return

He can Double Chokeslam my balls, Gerty.

Tony Schiavonne in the Starrcade 17 Control center is both awesome and terrible

Shiavonne is great. Gets way more shit from peop,e than he deserves. Happy for him, that he gets to be a part of this.

Apparently the Observer's Dave Meltzer spent part of yesterday contacting people he knows in the WWE that normally defend all of Vince's booking decisions to get an idea why Kane squashed Balor on RAW.

Turns out nobody had any good idea why it was done and likely just another spontaneous decision by Vince who felt like having a Kane squash match and picked Balor only because he could.

Saw something about Kurt Angle getting new ring gear made.

Damn Bobby Heenan was Gold on commentary.

Death Never Takes a Holiday, Monsoon " will you be serious!!?

"want to know how he got that Urn? "i'm afraid to ask" The old fashioned way, He Earned it.

I'll have you thrown outta here in an instant,You can't throw me out, I'm Indiana's favorite Bobby!

Yeah, probably just a Vince whim. In his mind it may have made Kane look better than it made Balor look worse. Part of me thinks that maybe the "too sweet" recognition at TLC didn't help.

Random question: Sean Mooney was doing a podcast with Hacksaw Jim Duggan recently. I never listened to it, but just recently I noticed that Duggan's not in any of its advertising. Did he drop out? What is the story there?

When he dialed back the ridiculous shtick, Duggan actually impressed me on one of those panel shows the WWE did one time. I think it may have been for a Royal Rumble because he won the first. I wouldn't mind him being given a trial as a commentator for Main Event or something.
