=== '''Tropes associated with Goldust:''' ===
 
* [[Agent Peacock]]
* [[Alternate Company Equivalent]]: Of ''himself'' as Black Reign in [[TNA]]
Line 10 ⟶ 9:
** [[What Could Have Been]]: The character was supposed to be the first openly gay wrestler, and was portrayed as one for about a month (his first major feud was sending love letters to [[Scott Hall|Razor Ramon]]). However, gay rights groups got upset over a gay person also being "evil," so Marlena was introduced and it all became "mindgames."
* [[Anthropomorphic Personification]]: Of movies when the Goldust gimmick started.
* [[The Trope Formerly Known Asas X|The Artist Formerly Known As Goldust]]: In 1998.
* [[Award Bait Song]]
* [[Badass Family]]: He's a Rhodes, it's a given.
Line 19 ⟶ 18:

Line 25 ⟶ 24:
* [[Nightmare Fetishist]]
* [[Odd Friendship]]: With Booker T. Huge emphasis on the 'odd' part.
* [[Rage Against the Author]] / [[Real Life Writes the Plot]]: Dustin got tired of being Goldust at one point and tried to be a born-again Christian wrestler. The gimmick sadly didn't take, in part [[Screwed Byby the Network|because the WWE]] [[They Just Didn't Care|didn't care]] and in part because it was just him in a t-shirt and blue jeans just preaching before matches. Even when Dustin went to WCW and TNA, he never (or they never let him) tried the gimmick again.
* [[The Red Baron]]: "The Bizarre One", "The Prince of Perversion", "The Man With The Golden Power"
* [["Take That!" Kiss]]: One of his moves to throw off an opponent.
