Goldust is currently one of half of the WWE Tag Team Champions with his brother Stardust aka Cody Rhodes. The Dust Brothers have done a great job of portraying a unique tag team that turned heel to oppose The Usos and they turned that into the title win at Night of Champions. Goldust certainly doesn't look out of place with the guys that are sometimes 20 years younger than him, but how long can he really go for? There aren't a lot of guys that can work a full time WWE schedule when they're 45 years old the way Goldust can, but he's done it for the last year. It seems farfetched to think it might happen for another year. Most likely there will be a story where his brother stays heel, Goldust becomes a face and then he loses a retirement match to put his brother over. It's very likely that he'll have a future job in WWE as a backstage producer or agent. He's done that job before. While he did get fired from it for calling for an unsafe spot, the fact that WWE brought him back as a wrestler shows that they are willing to give him another shot. He shouldn't wrestle until he suffers a major injury or something like that. It should be when he feels he's done all he can and that's probably something he's thinking about now. Dustin Rhodes has had an incredible career that's lasted over 25 years at this point. He can walk away at any point with his head held high. It just seems likely that next year may be his last.
