His real name is Dustin Runnels, not Virgil Runnels III. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.70.95.203 ( talk • contribs) 02:31, 18 December 2005 (UTC)
I was told that he was named after his father and grandfather, which is why I made the change myself at one point. However, he may have legally changed his name from Virgil III to Dustin at some point. After doing a bit of digging though, his IMDB page says that his birth name was Virgil Riley Runnels III.

I heard somewhere he was released, Can someone confirm this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.255.76.132 ( talk • contribs) 21:51, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
Does anyone know his real birth year? He broke into the business in 1988 after finishing high school. If born in 1966 as listed, he would have been 22 years old when he graduated high school. This seems inacurrate. ABB 7/11/0 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.254.152.36 ( talk • contribs) 17:54, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
Anybody remember Platinum, the last gimmick he was supposed to get at the end of his 2nd WCW run. A promo was leaked onto the internet a few years ago. It was basically a Goldust rip-off and WWE apparently threatened a lawsuit. I'm pretty sure I didn't imagine it.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 205.250.216.181 ( talk • contribs)

He will actually be called "Black Reign" in TNA probably a "Seven" playoff.

Dustin Rhodes — 1,890 Google hits for "Virgil Runnels III", 59,100 for "Dustin Rhodes". Runnels' father is listed under
Dusty Rhodes (wrestler) and continuity between the articles is logical.

Wikipedia's naming conventions.This article has been renamed from Virgil Runnels III to Dustin Rhodes as the result of a move request. -- Stemonitis 11:53, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
The statement in the TNA Wrestling 2007 section "basically the look of goldust except its black and white paint instead of gold and black" should be removed. It is unprofessional and is not really accurate. He really does not resemble Goldust becaue the face paint is different and the design and style of attire he wears is not like the Goldust attire. And furthermore it is actually silver and black paint. This is really not needed in the article and should be removed please.

Also Val Venis NEVER claimed to have impregnated Terri. Terri claimed to be pregnant and Val revealed to her that since he was a porn star, he had taken steps to make sure he could not impregnate a woman. Also when Goldust returned after hooking up with Luna he did not reunite with Marlena. Marlena was with Val. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.129.179.131 ( talk) 03:45, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
Wouldn't it be most logical to have the article name as Goldust? That's what most people know him as. Alexrushfear 10:25, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
No because wikipedia uses the real names or assumed names not character names and people know who Dustin Rhodes is and that he was Goldust anyway. Kieranburke1 23:02, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
The article refers to the guy as Runnels throughout the article. I believe this is unnecesarily confusing, in public he goes by the name Dustin Rhodes when he was not portraying the Goldust character. His article name is also Rhodes, why refer to him by a name he doesn't use? It's sufficient to mention it as his real name in the first paragraph and leave it at that. 212.84.101.51 23:46, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
The sub-heading for his return to WCW says, "Rhodes returned to World Championship Wrestling in 1999, filming several vignettes for a fantastical, face-painted character named Seven. The character was dropped after Turner Standards and Practices expressed concern that it could be misinterpreted as a child abductor."
The part needs an explanation and/or citation. TheUnknown285 15:43, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

Would it be safe to say that Dustin Rhodes is the only wrestler to have a profile on both WWE and TNA's website? Would this be noteworthy? 12:01, 29 October 2007

Is his date of birth 3 years different?

As far as i know, there is no concrete proof that Goldust is really returning to the WWE. He's just a selection for Santino's partner. I keep correcting this but it always seems to revert. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.253.230.80 ( talk) 01:46, 21 October 2008 (UTC)
According to the article's current state, Goldust returned to the WWF in 1995 for his second run with the company. I don't quite know how you can return to a company that you were never with. Some vandalism or bad editing? Tony2Times ( talk) 01:16, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
