Goldust Discusses How He Wants to See Cody Rhodes Succeed With AEW, Says He’s Very Proud of His Brother

– As previously reported, WWE Superstar Goldust spoke about how he’s excited about the new venture of his brother, Cody Rhodes, with AEW. WrestlingInc.com also interviewed Goldust on the subject. Below are some highlights from the WINCLY podcast.

Goldust on watching the clips of the Double or Nothing rally: “I was on set shooting the finale for my horror film I’m gonna be in so I did not get to see the rally. But I saw clips afterwards and said, ‘Holy hell! They must have spent $100,000 on pyro.’ This is big for Cody. This is very big for the wrestling community. This is going to go somewhere. I hope so, he’s my brother. I wish nothing but the best for him.”

Goldust on if he sees any similarities between this and the Monday Night Wars era: “I do. I’m still waiting. I’m watching. Hopefully they get a good tv deal because tv’s important. But I have no doubt that Cody, him being a Rhodes, and watching and learning as much as he has over his short career, it is incredible. I sit back in awe and thinking about Pops and I know Dad is grinning from that rally and is very, very proud, as I am as his older brother. I see nothing but a bright future… It’s something the world needs to grasp hold of because Cody is a Rhodes. The wrestling community loves the Rhodes Family, not only loves them, but we know what we’re doing. Everyone makes mistakes along the way, but we learn from our mistakes. We learn and we watch as much as possible before we do any big move like this and this is a big move. So, let’s do it. I wanna see him succeed.”

Goldust on watching more of Cody’s matches since he left WWE: “It’s good because I’ve had a lot of time in the last year-and-half, because of my double knee surgery, to look online and watch some of the stuff instead of traveling. I’m like, ‘Holy moly! This is crazy.'”

Goldust on watching the All In event on his iPad while doing a ride along with the Sheriff while getting his Deputy training in Texas: “I have it streaming on my iPad in my SUV. He’s trying to talk to me and I’m like, ‘Hold on, Sheriff. I’m watching something.’ I’m so proud of him because he sold that thing out so quickly and it’s just a great time right now. Timing is everything and what Cody is doing is very special.

Goldust on seeing WWE as his home: “I have been WWE for the last 24 years. I’ve had little stints where I’ve left but I’ve always come back. It’s been home for me. But now being 49 years old, granted I can still go with the best of them, but not like a 45 minute match…. With these last two knee surgeries, as much as I love film, I’m looking forward to acting right now and doing something different than wrestling. My acting career is a dream I’ve always had and I’ve accomplished one dream so I want to accomplish [acting].”
