Is Goldust just going to cut enigmatic promos for three months, until Backlash?
Stranger things have happened...
HHH and Angle was a slow build. That tells me if they want to drag a storyline out, they can.
Goldust can keep himself busy until then, I'm sure. If he goes over everyone he faces with authority, no doubt fans will be concerned for Rocky's chances when they eventually meet in the ring.

That would be interesting to see. Could also evolve the character of TheRock a bit more. Don't have him stand there like the tough witty guy he always is. Have him being freaked out, look behind the door, etc.. It will probably turn out to be someone else though..No clue as to whom but we'll see eventually.

True. But it's generally not the WWF's style these days to string out a feud for so long without doing a match. When they do give us a long-running feud, e.g. Edge/Regal, the combatants meet each other repeatedly, usually including a couple PPV matches, before doing the final blow-off. Or the final forget-about-it-all-and-wander-away, as is more likely. I guess they could have Goldust/Rock matches on free TV, but that just takes away time from whatever feuds the Rock will be building for NWO and Mania.
I have to disagree with people who say that Goldust would be a perfect fit with Chucky and Billy. C & B are acting like they are gay, but haven't come right out and said it. Goldust is more into the mindgames. He flaunts it, but never actually said that he was. Am I hitting on you, or just fucking with your mind to throw your game off so I can beatcha. Goodgod, Runnels is excellent at this character. He always was great at the old promos, and after the one on Raw last week, I can see that he hasn't missed a beat. He IS this character.

I'm going to go waaay off here and guess that Goldie is going to feud with Angle. The Olympic GOLD medalist !
I know he's mentioned that he's talking about someone he's interacted with before, but has logic stood in the way of anything the WWF creative team has been doing since at least the InVasion?! They screwed up the biggest angle in wrestling history, why should they start giving us logic with Goldust?
Well if it is someone he's feuded with in the past, and if they feuded they probably had a match at a ppv right? Well here is a list of singles Goldust matches that I know of at PPVs...
96 Royal Rumble - Razor Ramon In Your House VI - Undertaker In Your House: Good Friends, Better Enemies - Ulitmate Warrior In Your House: Beware of Dog I - Undertaker In Your House: Beware of Dog II - Undertaker 96 KOTR - Ahmed Johnson 96 Summerslam - Marc Mero In Your House: Mind Games - Undertaker In Your House: Buried Alive - Marc Mero In Your House: It's Time - Steve Austin 97 Royal Rumble - Hunter Hearst Helmsley Wrestlemania 13 - Hunter Hearst Helmsely In Your House: Revenge of Taker - Hunter Hearst Helmsley 97 King of the Ring - Crush 97 SummerSlam - Brian Pillman In Your House: Ground Zero - Brian Pillman 98 Royal Rumble - Vader
First take out the people not in WWF anymore - Ultimate Warrior, Ahmed Johnson, Marc Mero, Crush, Brian Pillman, Vader
Then take out the people that he probably won't feud with - Razor Ramon, Steve Austin, Triple H
So that leaves Undertaker, that doesn't seem too unreasonable since UT is slipping down card plus they'll probably give Goldust a push for his return.
How about Rikishi? He was around when Goldust was in the WWF before (I believe)... plus Rikishi giving the Stinkface to Goldust might not have the effect Rikishi desires...
I was kinda thinkin Angle after tonight since Angle really has no feud going at the moment...If Y2J loses to Austin at No Way Out it could possibly be Jericho/Goldust...'happy times', 'risin star'...
It might also be someone he crossed paths with in WCW.

Hmm, yeah. Maybe a past character of Rikishi's "made a difference."
Please credit myself and Slashwrestling when posting this news elsewhere.
Unbelievable yet very cool that the guy that sucked in wcw, that was laughed at by Vince for wanting to have Implants and more of that 'crap' is actually part of perhaps the most interesting bit of the WWF today. WHO is he after?
I have no idea who it could be. As I stated before if they let it be Rocky, it could change his character around a bit, same goes for many other uppercarders..Angle would be fun as well.. Maybe Taker? They have a bit of history? And he could throw more of those amazingly freaky looks around as Goldust moves in on him..

Anyone remember the "Crapper 3:16" incident? Dude, Golddust is talking about pro-wrestling (and occasional small-screen) star, Steve Austin! Come on! Austin kicked his ass and stuffed him into a port o potty! It's payback time!!
A friend in need is a friend indeed, but a friend with weed is MUCH better!
I saw the spoilers over at Lords of Pain and there seemed to be some differing opinions. One guy did the long spoiler list and said that Test and the NWO videos flopped, but Rock was huge over.
