OFFICIAL BLURB FOR GULDUST'S BOOK
The official promotional blurb for Goldust’s new WWE book, Cross Rhodes:
“He first burst onto the scene in the nineties, covered in gold face paint and exhibiting a one-of-a- kind flamboyant style that bewildered his foes and thrilled his fans. Inside the ring, Goldust is as tough as they come, known for using outrageous mind games and taking down his opponents with unparalleled ruthlessness. It’s no surprise, then, that wrestling is in his blood; Goldust is the son of Dusty Rhodes, “The American Dream.” What is it like to be the son of a wrestling icon and follow him into the same profession? In this no-holds-barred account, Dustin Rhodes speaks frankly and openly about his journey. He talks about being a young boy who desperately missed his dad. A young man who only wanted to follow in his father’s footsteps and threw aside a football scholarship to eke out a meager existence in regional wrestling. A green wrestler struggling to prove to his peers that his work, not his name, had gotten him to where he was. Rhodes describes how, in the midst of a painful five-year estrangement with his father, he finally made a name for himself as Goldust and then let it all go, tumbling into a descent of self-medication that led him away from a red-hot career as a WWE Superstar and nearly cost him his life. When he finally hit bottom, Rhodes knew where to look for help from the family he always had: his father and World Wrestling Entertainment. When he got clean and sober and was offered the chance to wrestle for WWE, he snapped up the offer. The everyday existence of life on the road, working with and watching the new Superstars— like his brother Cody Rhodes—has reminded Rhodes of why he loves being a wrestler. Cross Rhodes is an intimate portrait of one man’s road to redemption and a unique glimpse into one of the most famous families in WWE.”

RAW AS ON JULY 26
We start off with John Cena’s confrontation with Wade Barrett and Nexus last week. Then we see footage of the systematic destruction of the WWE Superstars. But then we saw the six men who would join John Cena at SummerSlam.
We are live from San Antonio, Texas and your announcers are Michael ‘Where is the basement in the Alamo’ Cole and Jerry ‘Did Tony Parker bring his wife tonight’ Lawler.
John Cena comes to the ring and he is going to talk to the WWE Universe. John says that they are right that everything is bigger in Texas. He says that seven weeks ago, a group called Nexus, without any warning at all came to Raw and destroyed everything in its past. Nobody was safe. If Nexus wanted you hurt, then they would hurt you. That was until last Monday. Finally, the Raw Superstars said that they have had enough. They stood side by side in the ring. It did not matter if they were friends or enemies because they had a common goal. They are going to beat Nexus at SummerSlam and they are going to end Nexus. Nexus is not invincible. He says that with more power, Nexus gets more influence. The more influence they get, they will take over this show. Cena says that if that is the case, it might be the end of Monday Night Raw. Cena says that his team is not the Superfriends. He is not Superman. He says that he is more like Aquaman. He says that Edge and Jericho are like Batman and Robin.

He did not get involved in this to be part of Cena’s team. He did not do this to bask in the glory of heroes. He did not do this to pander to parasites.

Cena tells Jericho if he doesn’t like him fine, the thing is that Jericho loves the business. He says that they have to co-exist. Jericho knows Wade Barrett better than anyone. He says that Jericho is essential to this team.
Jericho picks up his mic and he tells Cena never to knock the microphone out of his hands again. Jericho then tells Cena that he knows how essential he is to this team. The only chance to beat Nexus is to have the best in the world standing beside you. Jericho says that he knows more than that because he sees the big picture. Nexus isn’t the only threat to this company. The other threat is John Cena. Cena is like Nexus. He interrupts whoever he wants and does whatever he says. However, Cena does it with the support of the drones and people that he dances around for like a puppet on a string. At SummerSlam, as soon as the threat of Nexus is abolished, he is going to take the next logical threat and turn his sights on the next threat in the company. He is going to get rid of Cena. He will either do it with the help of his team, or he will do it by himself.
