Goldust Speaks On Unveiling The Dusty Rhodes Statue At WrestleMania AXXESS

Goldust is doing media today in Dallas, TX to promote Sunday’s WrestleMania 32. The former WWE Intercontinental Champion spoke to Sportsday about unveiling a bronze status honoring his father on Thursday night.

“My brother, Cody, and myself unveil a statue of my dad (the late Dusty Rhodes, former WWE Hall of Famer and NWA world champion). So that’s really cool,” Goldust said. “He passed last June and it’s been tough for us, but we’re persevering.”

The longtime WWE performer also discussed the difference between WrestleMania and a normal WWE event, saying this is like their Super Bowl.

“This is our Super Bowl. You take the Super Bowl and you have all the shows, the half time show, and the week-long events like the NFL Experience. WWE does the same thing. This is our show,” Goldust said of Sunday’s event. “This is our time to put on the biggest and best matches that we have and all the stuff that comes with it. That includes the backstage segments, the entertainment segments, the funny things, the songs and music. Everything is big. And this will be our biggest WrestleMania to date with 100,000-plus people. It’s going to be unreal.”
