Goldust debuted as a fan favourite in WWE in late 1990, wrestling as Dustin Rhodes. His first match in the WWF was against Paul Diamond on WWF on MSG Network on September 21, 1990. In December 1990, Rhodes defeated Ted DiBiase in a televised ten-minute challenge match. On January 19, 1991, at the Royal Rumble, Rhodes and his father Dusty lost to Ted DiBiase and Virgil in a tag team bout, and both left immediately after. He returned to the company in August 1995 as Goldust, a character who angered his opponents with his flirtatious comments and sexually charged affection toward them.
