Just realized that he’s the only guy to have wrestled in WWE, WCW, ECW (albeit WWE’s version, unless he was in the original ECW but I dont think he was), TNA & now AEW. Kinda cool

Christopher Daniels has as well. Although not always as a full time employee

Dustin Runnels' longevity in the business is often overlooked and he has been a part of a lot of my favorite eras (WWF Hulkamania, early 90s WCW, WWE Ruthless Aggression) and also my least favorite eras (WWF New Generation, WWF Attitude, WWE PG)

Dustin Rhodes is one of the best talents in pro wrestling.

Dustin Rhodes also wrestled in the USWA too!
I believe his career goes like this....
CWF
NWA
USWA
WWF
WCW
WWF
WCW
WWE
TNA
WWE
TNA
WWE
AEW
The dude has done a lot in his career! A shame he never won the NWA World Title though while in TNA.

One hell of a career that's for sure. After all, ''He's a son of a son and a son of a gun!'' |

Pm so not to hijack the thread. Dustin is great. I've been following his career since 1991 wcw. He and Windham were a great team. He still keeps himself in great shape today and is a great get for aew. |

Great talent.
I still remember the SNME when Dibiase attacked him. Dusty & Dustin were gone from the WWF shortly after I believe.
As Goldust Runnels was one hell of a worker......in the intial run he was good but man oh man as the years went on he was excellent.

Is it true he got fired from wcw for bleeding in a match? That makes no sense. It was called uncensored. The match was pretaped. They could have edited the blood or not aired it at all if they really had a problem with the match.

Such a great career. He has had great runs in so many companies utilizing different characters across multiple eras. That is a testament to his ability to change with the times.
Next year will mark the 25th anniversary of the debut of Goldust. That is crazy, but even crazier is the fact that some don't even realize he had very notable runs in both the WWF and WCW the five years prior to that.
That kind of longevity is unheard of! The Undertaker has been around since then as well, but he has really limited the in-ring action over the years and slowed down quite a bit. Dustin can still go like it's 1992. He may have somehow gotten even better just in recent years.

It feels like 1992 all over again when some wrestlers get in the ring. Dustin Rhodes is one of them. Ricky Steamboat also looked great a few years ago.

When Goldust & Cody tagged up there a few years back? Dustin was effin dynamite. Those were some cracking encounters they had with the Shield for the taggers. How long he's lasted is a testament to his ability to adapt.
The Evolution & sustainability of the Goldust character is amazing

My fav parts of his career was 91-93 in WCW and the early years of his Goldust run. He really nailed that character. Nobody else could've did what he did with it.
And like others said he got better as the years went on. Definitely a HOFer in my book.
