9. His WrestleMania 12 Opponent Was Supposed To Be Razor Ramon
One of Goldust's most famous matches was at WrestleMania 12 against Roddy Piper. The Hollywood Backlot Brawl actually didn't have a referee or an official ending, but that's who Goldust was matched up with at that show. At that point Piper wasn't wrestling much in WWE due to his age, but WWE needed him to fill a spot. Why? Because Razor Ramon was suspended. It was supposed to be Goldust vs. Razor Ramon at WrestleMania 12 in what would have been one of Razor's last matches before he left for WCW. It didn't happen because Ramon was suspended for drug use. Goldust was still a very hot heel at the time while Ramon would have been the babyface in the match. The roster wasn't that deep, so that's why they called upon Piper to take part. Remember the awful image at the end of Piper/Goldust when Goldy was in the ring wearing women's lingerie? That probably wouldn't have happened if Ramon was able to wrestle that night. So I guess we can blame Ramon for being the reason that we saw that.
