Dustin Rhodes

Dustin Rhodes is one of those wrestlers who could have coasted on his father Dusty Rhodes's legendary name and nobody would have blinked — but instead he went and created Goldust, one of the most bizarre, boundary-pushing characters professional wrestling has ever seen. A six-foot-six guy from Texas painting himself gold and silver and doing this unsettling, cinematic, method-actor-in-tights routine? That takes serious guts and genuine creativity. What really gets me is that he's kept reinventing himself decade after decade — from WWE to AEW, where he won the TNT Championship and proved he still belongs at the top. He's 55 and still going, which tells you everything about his work ethic and passion for the craft.
