I actually think this kind of interview, in the intention that they were striving for, could work in this day and age. The idea of humanising a gimmick in an age where everyone knows the man behind it, seems like something you would try at least once. You can envision a well thought of worker getting a flamboyant gimmick and then, after a year, cutting a similar set of interviews as this where you get a good section of the crowd to get behind the "rejection" of the gimmick. It's interesting to see how something like a sit down interview has vastly different goals in 1997 than they do in 2016, but, fully understandable.

Pretty compelling stuff with Dustin talking about being a role model & a father. It gets even more touching when he addresses Dusty. After thinking about it some more, this would probably have been way better as a piece for Dustin Rhodes, the character, than Goldust. I do appreciate the attempt at humanizing Goldust & still think it was worth the try.
