10 Best Goldust Matches Ever
6. Goldust Vs. Rowdy Roddy Piper (WrestleMania XII)
Everything about this match was, if you will allow me one awful pun, bizarre.
Originally slated to be between Goldust and Razor Ramon,
the match was thrown into disarray when Hall made it clear he was bound for WCW.
Despite creating promotional material promising everything from a Tuxedo match
to a Miami Street Fight, WWE were left with a hole in the card.
With a wafer thin roster, Vince called on a legend to take Hall’s place. A storyline was quickly cooked up with Goldust becoming obsessed with being the host of Piper’s Pit.
Piper didn’t take too kindly to the blatant innuendos and returned to teach Goldust a lesson. There's no escaping the overtly homophobic foundations that this match was built upon, and it can be jarring to watch today.
In the space of a few months, Goldust had gone from mysterious, androgynous enigma to sexual predator and finally, closet transvestite. Despite the controversy surrounding it and undertones of unpleasantness, this match is still one of the most infamous in WWE history. Viewing it as its own animal, you will be treated to a roller-coaster of action and theatre.
After a chaotic fight on the back lot and a car chase featuring footage lifted from the O.J Simpson highway chase, the two engaged in brawling, spanking, and kissing before a knee to the groin was enough to send a lingerie clad Goldust to the back.
The match is every bit as strange as it sounds - and has to be seen to be believed, if not endorsed.
