I'd say Goldust getting a push. It's not like Ted was going anywhere anyway, I mean his last feud was a pointless lower-card fued with R-Truth and Eve wasn't it?At the moment Goldust seems to be getting the upper hand. Last week he distracted DiBiase during a Bragging Rights qualifying match with R-Truth, which cost Ted the match.
This week Goldust beat Zack Ryder in about 30 seconds. DiBiase attacked him after the match, but Goldy again managed to hit his finisher.
I think the feud needs more promos, to be honest. Neither. Aksana or Maryse are getting the rub. It's basically being played for laughs, and if anything making Goldust much less interesting. Other than some sliding around he's basically stopped doing weird things in favor of being another suddenly invincible face. I suspect this whole angle is just the umpteenth unsuccessful attempt to get Dibiase Junior over, and will quickly descend into him repeatedly kicking Goldust's ass, but it's STILL the most substantial thing they've given Goldust to do in years, and he's more than carrying the feud for now.
For now, this is being an immensely fun storyline. I think it's a way of burying Teds current gimmick. They need to take him away and revamp the entire thing because he's not getting over in any great way.
BTW - Loved the cat fight between Maryse and Aksana, Bonus points for Maryse's shirt jumping while she ran xD.I enjoyed Ted's first ever program on his debut. At the time I thought he was gonna be a future star. He's done nothing but slide down hill since then though. I think Goldust is more than happy to put over someone, and if that be Teddy Jr., so be it. I sure hope Ted can get something out of this feud, like maybe better charisma and a better mic stick, because I've only known one promo of his, in his entire few years of being around, to be entertaining. It's obviously something Goldust wanted..I just wish WWE was smart enough to somehow turn this into a Cody vs Goldust feud...
But I still think they are having Dibiase in a hovering position until his brother enters. I don't get why it has to be a push or de-push.
Every week people complain that there are not storylines for mid-carders set up.
Now we get a mid carder storyline that's getting some TV time for both guys and everyone is worried about who's getting the crap end of the stick.It's nice to see Goldust getting a bit of a push. I wonder if we'll get a PPV match out of it though because I can't see them putting it on a PPV as big as Survivor Series next month. I think Goldust has a book and maybe even a DVD coming out within a few months. So that's the reason I think he's suddenly in a featured program on the show. But whatever the reason, I'm glad he's being featured at all. I think, whatever happens, it's great . The Million Dollar Man put Dustin over earlier in his career.Dustin, now, has the chance to help get his son over. DiBiase benefits because working with a talented veteran should help him improve. Goldust is one of the best showmen in wrestling and very much a quality worker.
I've enjoyed the feud from, took two people who needed something to do and it helped them both out.
