Rumor: Are Goldust’s WWE Days Numbered?

Goldust has never been at the top of the card in WWE, but he’s been one of the company’s most prolific wrestlers, having made his WWF debut all the way back in 1995. He’s wrestled throughout the industry and returned to Vince McMahon’s company five times. But could he be planning for a final departure?

Dustin “Goldust” Rhodes recently posted this on Twitter, and many fans are taking it as speculation that he’ll soon be leaving WWE.

Dustin’s brother, Cody, recently left WWE amid frustration over the creative direction over his character, working with TNA and some independent promotions. Cody’s wife, Brandi–better known by her WWE name “Eden Stiles”–also recently signed with TNA. It’s no stretch to think that Dustin might share some of his family’s frustrations.

Since Cody’s departure, Goldust has been paired with R-Truth, and their tag team Golden Truth hasn’t appeared on their home brand of Raw in nearly two months. The pair is perennial at house shows, however.

Goldust is also the oldest full-time wrestler in the WWE at 47, just four years younger than the Undertaker. It could simply be that Goldust is aging out of the business.

In any case, it will be sad to see him go, as his over-the-top gimmick has been a part of wrestling for so long.
