8. Goldust Is The Crocodile Hunter
Much like Kane and The Undertaker, Goldust is an extremely long-running character in WWE. Still going strong today, the gold one is portrayed more as a wrestler who has been around so long that the nuances of the character don't matter all that much, fans simply enjoy watching the guy wrestle. Back in 2002, Goldust was a riot. Teaming with Booker T, this was another brilliant example of an 'odd couple' tag-team done well, mainly due to the enthusiastic performances from both men that quickly endeared them to the fans. For a few months, Goldust went through a phase of indulging himself in strange behaviour, pretending to be a number of different people. The most notable was when the man - still in gold make-up - bedecked himself in a beige shirt and awful wig, looking for all the world like a cheap knock-off of the now-deceased Steve Irwin. Putting on a false Australian accent, Goldust excelled as the 'Crocodile Hunter', invading the locker room of the nWo. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uF6RITj11eQ
