Wrestling is at its best with a clear storyline and well defined characters helping to tell a layered tale. At Battleground 2013, the team of Cody Rhodes and Goldust took on the Shield with the job of every Rhodes family member on the line.

At the time, The Shield was the most dastardly heel faction of recent history with an almost flawless win-loss record. With the legendary Dusty Rhodes ringside to even the odds, the match is one of the greatest examples of storytelling WWE has to offer.

Long before Cody was hampered with the dire Stardust gimmick, his no- nonsense persona added to the severity of the situation. He fought gallantly alongside his brother, who rolled back the years and helped send the crowd into a frenzy with a breath-taking go home sequence.

Ultimately, Cody picked up the win with an emphatic Cross Rhodes before the entire Rhodes family celebrated on the ramp. Conveying the importance and emotion of this match is difficult, especially to those more modern fans who only know Goldust as that painted man R-Truth hangs around with.

To anyone who loves the art of pro wrestling and storytelling , this match is one to keep on standby at all times.
