What rumor existed that HBK wouldn't work with Goldust? I saw HBK vs Goldust in a title vs title match in 96 at my first WWF show. I'm pretty sure they worked a lot together but it was just on the house shows. Not sure but an HBK vs. Goldust program on tv would've been money. It writes itself.

Yeah, HBK vs Goldust happened a LOT in 1996. I believe they even had a dark match for the title after In Your House: Buried Alive went off the air.

I was never 100% sure if he was legit shooting on Nash at the end there, or just doing some off-script promo work,since he came to the ring all pissed off too, and Diesel had turned on him the month before and attacked him several times, and they played up it basically being one friend betraying another. HBK in 1996 was legit shooting. HBK was at a house show wrestling Goldust in '96 just after losing his title to Sid. The fans at the show began chanting for Sid, which infuriated Shawn. He got out of the ring, grabbed a mic, and said, "If I have to carry that stiff through one more match, I'm going to knock his teeth down his throat for real." DX might have officially begun in '97, but it was Shawn's malcontent personality in '96 that really started it. And disrespectful or not, I enjoyed every second of it.

ill be honest, i couldnt remember which shoot it was on... im assuming it was either nash or cornettes, but i cant confirm... but one off matches on house shows with goldust werent a problem. goldust was [still is, in fact] a great in-ring guy. as far as i remember, shawn didnt wanna do a televised program in the same vein of what goldust was doing with razor and ahmed around that time, with all the homosexual innuendo and what not. when i get home from work later, ill see if i can find the snippet somewhere. i dont think im imagining hearing this, but my brain is pretty fried, so its a possibility.

I have heard it on a few shoots that He didn't wanna work with Goldust. Most notably Bill Mooody's. Rumors have persisted for YEARS that IYH: Mind Games was tailored around HBK vs Goldust as an intermediary program while Vader was champ.....and I believe it.
But of course that all changed.....Vader never became champ. The Kliq despised the Goldust gimmick(many have said they were genuinely horrified by it) and they cried pleaded and begged for Hall not to drop the IC title to Goldust at RR 96.
