Goldust vs. Sheamus

Over the last month on ECW I’ve noticed something that’s going probably unnoticed by most wrestling fans and that’s the small rivalry on ECW between Goldust and Sheamus. The rivalry concluded last night with a No DQ, No Count out match with Sheamus getting the victory. I have really enjoyed the matches they had on TV because ECW doesn’t provide very good TV. Sheamus came from Florida Championship Wrestling which is WWE’s developmental promotion. Sheamus was very successful down there winning the FCW Championship on one occasion. He was also a very credible “heel” which made it easy for him to be one on WWE television.

This rivalry has produced some really solid matches on TV that both guys should be proud of especially Goldust who is a veteran and in a lot of peoples mind past his prime. Goldust can still have great matches and make the fans believe in him which made this month long rivalry something to watch. I wish WWE did more of these types of things. Have small little feuds that are competitive that last maybe a month or two between a veteran and a younger guy that helps the younger guy get over in the process. I think Sheamus will be much better now that he worked with Goldust(Dustin Rhodes) and hopefully will go on to have a successful career in WWE. Stay tuned to see how Sheamus does against other opponents.
