Goldust (Hollywood, CA, 260 pounds) vs Lance Cade (Nashville, TN, 265 pounds) - Your announcers are Coach and Todd. Goldust is back, again, again. Coach: "Goldust is back for good!" Well then. You know, Goldust was way ahead of the rest of us on HD. Coach remembers Goldust failing to help him at Taboo Tuesday. Your ref is Mickie Jay. Loud Goldust chant. Cade wants Goldust to stop kneeling and start fighting. Goldust doesn't care much. Just kneeling there, looking at Cade as he walks around the ring. Cade finally walks up to Goldust, and Goldust clothesline him down. Cade shoves Goldust, but it just makes him act weird. Cade manages to force Goldust in the corner, Mickie Jay forces a break. Goldust back to kneeling. Back up, Goldust with a headlock, shot off, under a clothesline, under a clothesline, Cade puts his head down too soon and of course Goldust is going to uppercut. Cade to the apron, so Goldust gets in his elbows to the head, and slides out to get a punch. Coach hates Shawn Michaels because he was partying too much in 1995 and 1996. I can see how it would offend a man who wasn't even part of the company, nor was probably even watching wrestling at that time. Goldust charges Cade in the corner, and gets a boot to the head. Cade on top of hi, talking to him and punching him. Cade backs off to yell about being warned for closed fists. Whip, back elbow. One two NO. Coach is on Cade for complaining and crying too much. Neck vice. Goldust rallied up and elbows his way out. Cade stops him with a foe ram. off the ropes, punch blocked, Goldust jabs and is really obviously with the stomping of the foot. Elbow to end it. Cade stumbling around, and Goldust gives him an inverted atomic drop and then an atomic drop. Curtain Call - no, he's shoved off, Cade puts his head down too soon again (that man is seriously dumb) and Goldust gives him a headscissors it move. Coach: "Goldust hasn't lost a step!" Curtain Call now? Well, eventually, taking a bit - there it is. One two three. (3:49)
