I read some of D'Lo's blogs when he was with WWE last year, he always came across very bitter and angry because they were hardly using him, and when they did it was to put over the younger talent, kind of like how they are using Goldust at the moment. Difference is Goldust seems very happy to be doing it while D'Lo would hate on guys like Mike Knox every week
On the point of Goldust, I think he has been superb ever since he got moved to ECW, he has had some brilliant matches, never seems to disappoint when he gets TV time. I saw him in TNA a couple of times and he was horrible, thought he was way past it when he re-signed with WWE.

Ah right. Well to be fair to him he has been really underused during most of his time in WWF/E, apart from the odd good bits like his membership in the NOD in the 90's. Apparantly though he comes across well in this shoot so will feed back on how it is once see it.
Goldust's brilliant IMO, Dustin Rhodes has had a lot of critics over the last 20 years (e.g. people saying he only ever kept a job in places because of his old man), WWF/E couldn't have asked anymore out of him over the 15 years that he's been playing this character on/off. His promos are fantastic (watch some of the earlier WWF ones when Goldust & Marlena were first introduced - creepy but powerful as hell), good worker like you said, and he's shown the ability to be just as effective either as that creepy heel, or funny babyface (loved his work with Booker T years ago).
Read somewhere that they're in the process of a Goldust book, hope he makes a lot of cash from it cos he deserves it IMO.
