. When Dustin Rhodes left WCW and came to WWF, it would not be as the son of "The American Dream" Dusty Rhodes, but as "The Bizarre One" Goldust. With his Hollywood-inspired vingettes, gold-painted face, flowing blonde hair (later revealed to be a wig) and flowing, golden robes, Goldust was pushed right away upon his debut, defeating Marty Jannetty and Bam Bam Bigelow in back-to-back pay-per-view matches. Unfortunately, he did not have an official finisher at the time, defeating Jannetty with a gordbuster and Bigelow with a bulldog. It wasn't until shortly after he started using the Curtain Call, a lifting inverted DDT, to finish his opponents. As the WWF transitioned from "The New Generation" to the "Attitude Era," so did Goldust's attitude, who started hitting his opponents with a highly-illegal finishing move: with his opponent sitting on the second turnbuckle, legs spread wide, Goldust would take a running start to punt his opponent with a low-blow. The Shattered Dreams, as the kick came to be known, became a popular go-to move for Goldust, although it probably cost him more matches (by DQ) than won him. When Goldust returned to WWE in 2002, he started using a move that began similarly to the Curtain Call: but this time, when he would lift his opponent up in an inverted DDT, he would stop- allowing his opponent to stand on his feet- and would then deliver a hangman neckbreaker. As far as I can tell, this move was still called the Curtain Call, and was much less-effective than the previous. Neither this version of the Curtain Call nor Goldust himself were long for this current run, and he left for the indies and TNA until 2008, when he returned as a part-time wrestler and backstage agent. This time in the ring, he finished his opponents off with a vertical suplex/swinging neckbreaker combo called The Final Cut; when he joined forced with his brother, Cody, in the fall of 2013, he continued using it as his go-to finisher, and still does to this day.
