While competing in matches, Goldust utilized such tactics as groping his opponents and expressing affection towards them in the midst of his onslaught. Runnels wrestled first in a gold and white and later a black and gold colored jumpsuit while wearing black and gold face paint and a platinum blonde wig over his short platinum blonde hair, with his appearance modeled after an Academy Award. As Goldust, Runnels wrestled and won his debut match on Octoagainst Marty Jannetty at the In Your House 4 pay-per-view. The character is portrayed as being obsessed with films and the color gold, as a pun of the Oscars Statuette. He deliberately attempted to creep out his opponents through lewd and flirtatious mind games. In September 1995, Rhodes returned to the World Wrestling Federation as a heel nicknamed "the bizarre one" because of his somewhat spooky, very suggestive mannerisms and presence under the name Goldust. They were subsequently fired as a result. In March 1995, Rhodes and The Blacktop Bully both bladed during a King of the Road match at the 1995 Uncensored pay-per-view after being instructed to by one another, which was against corporate policy at the time in WCW. In December 1994, Parker introduced another opponent for Rhodes, The Blacktop Bully. After Parker introduced Arn Anderson and Terry Funk as adversaries for Runnels, Runnels responded by bringing his father, a former enemy of Funk, back into the ring to team with him again against Parker's Stud Stable. In March 1994, Rhodes started feuding with Bunkhouse Buck and Col. Rhodes lost the title to "Stunning" Steve Austin in December 1993. In the same month, he began a lengthy feud with Rick Rude that lasted until August. In January 1993, Rhodes won the WCW United States Heavyweight Championship. One month later, Windham turned on Rhodes, beginning a feud. In October 1992, Rhodes and Barry Windham won the WCW World Tag Team Championship. He feuded with Larry Zbyszko until April 1991, when he refused to join Alexandra York's York Foundation, thus beginning a feud with Foundation member Terrence Taylor.

In February 1991, Rhodes joined World Championship Wrestling (WCW) as "The Natural" Dustin Rhodes. World Championship Wrestling (1991–1995) Dustin and his father left the WWF soon after. On Januat the Royal Rumble, Rhodes and his father Dusty lost to Ted DiBiase and Virgil in a tag team bout. In December 1990, Rhodes defeated Ted DiBiase in a televised ten minute challenge match. Rhodes debuted as a fan favorite in the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) in late 1990, wrestling as Dustin Rhodes.
