10 Ways To Repackage WWE's Struggling Wrestlers

10. Goldust: Theatrical Heel Manager

'The Golden Age' has flopped. It began when Goldust turned on partner R-Truth back in May, and continued with a series of well-acted, well-produced segments over the next few weeks, before the story returned to the ring. Unfortunately, the build was all for nothing; Goldust and R-Truth's physical altercations got no reaction from the crowd, and their feud will go down as one of 2017's most forgettable.

WWE tried to rejuvenate the elder Rhodes brother, and it didn't work. It's a shame, because Goldust is still a good worker even at 48 years old, and as one of the most underrated performers of the last few decades, he deserved one final run. That window now appears to have closed.

'Dust has since announced that he'll reveal his "masterpiece" at SummerSlam, hinting that he's about to take a young protégé under his wing. Assuming he's not bluffing, slotting him into a managerial role makes all kinds of sense. If WWE can't get him over on his own, they may as well use his talking ability to benefit someone else, and leaning heavily on his Hollywood influences would make for some unique promos as he "directs" his client's career.
