He is the son of WWE Hall of Famer "The American Dream" Dusty Rhodes, the half-brother of WWE superstar and All Elite Wrestling cofounder Cody Rhodes and the ex-husband of former WWE Diva Terri "Marlena" Runnels. In the mid 90s, with WWE creating several new over-the-top gimmicks, the controversial Goldust was born. His valet Marlena was supposed to be this trope too but the storyline was rejected.

More recently, he's been a liberal user of the famously legal most-definitely-not-a-Groin Attack reverse atomic drop.

  • He delivered the worst Shattered Dreams of all time to Kyle Fletcher during their Chicago Street Fight for the TNT Championship, by pouring thumbtacks into Fletcher's trunks before delivering the kick.

    Likely as close to male-on-male molestation as the WWF/WWE would ever show.

    His character was an adult film star, and this being the Attitude Era, where anything could happen, there was even a backstage segment where he, um, got his male member cut off. Since that point, he has largely been a midcard or comedy act; teaming with the likes of many Divas, R-Truth, his brother, and many more. "They did the Goldust angle.

    While he is most known for his work in WWE and WCW, he has also competed for All Japan Pro Wrestling, the United States Wrestling Association in Memphis, TNA, Fighting Opera HUSTLE, and many independent promotions around the U.S.

    Dustin got his start bouncing between WCW and the independent scene, chasing tag team gold here and there as himself, taking on the moniker "The Natural" most places he went, even being the US champion at one point.

    As Dustin Rhodes, he usually used the bulldog.

It wasn't that Scott was a homophobe. Jerry Lawler even once outright asked if he was gay to which Goldust shouted "NOOOO!" before beating him down.
  • Anthropomorphic Personification: Of movies, and especially the Academy Award, when the Goldust gimmick started.
  • The Artifact: Shattered Dreams (propping an opponent in the middle rope of a turnbuckle and then kicking him in the groin; it's legal only because it technically targets the tailbone/pelvic floor) was invented to get back at Val Venis for fooling around with Marlena, but he kept using it afterwards too.
  • Ass Kicks You: He likes to hip check people he whips into the ropes.
  • Award-Bait Song: His WWE entrance music intentionally invokes this, befitting of his gimmick.
  • Badass Family: He's a Rhodes, it's a given.

    He'd turned 50 years old the month before and he's been wrestling longer than a good chunk of the AEW roster has been alive.

  • Tag Team:
    • The Texas Broncos, w/Kendall Windham.
    • With Booker T. The team never had a name; fans called them "Black Gold" while wrestling sites referred to them as "The Movie Critics"
    • With his brother Cody Rhodes.

      In a column for Wrestlecrap, former head WWE writer Vince Russo wrote:

      It was a different time back then, and the portrayal of a “gay”, “flamboyant”, wrestling character was not going to fly. Still, Vince McMahon gave Goldust a major push, and with his real life wife, Terri Runnels (known on TV as Marlena), by his side, Goldust became a huge star and an Intercontinental Champion.

      Terri Runnels was shocked when Goldust suggested that she was cheating on him with a future WWE Hall of Famer.

      Meanwhile, Val Venis was becoming a huge midcard star, and he was the exact opposite of a Christian. Dustin went on a losing streak, but after beating Marc Mero, with help from Sable, Dustin Rhodes gave all the credit to God.

      Dustin Rhodes' gimmick was now a born again Christian who prayed before the start of every match.

      Dustin then did indeed lose. He came home and Cody said, 'Dad, why does that mean?'" 

      Nash continued: "Scott, who wasn’t a homophobe, told Vince, he goes, ‘If I have to go home and explain this to my kid’, because you can't just say, 'Oh, well, you know, some men.’ I mean, you have to go into that whole, you know, and so Scott just said, 'I don't feel comfortable doing it.' That's all it was.

      Also, Jerry Sags of The Nasty Boys and Fred Ottman are/were uncles at one point, as they have both been Dusty's brothers-in-law.

    A year or so before the vaunted Attitude Era kicked off in WWE, Goldust started turning heads with his risqué content helping steer WWE down the path of Attitude before it was even a thing.

    During his initial run, the ‘Bizarre One’ feuded with Razor Ramon, with the two originally set to clash at WrestleMania XII in 1996.

    He was done being punished, adding:

    "Well, that just ain't gonna get it no more. Overweight, suffering from alcoholsim and his addiction to painkillers had gotten so bad that he was quite literally on all fours looking for pills on the floor.
