When Stardust and Goldust first started having their segments together, the audience seemed to like them. However, I noticed that whenever the audience laughed, it was at Goldusts reactions to Stardust instead of Stardust himself. But WWE kept building and building this tag team with their vignettes and the audience reactions tended to become more and more mild.
Last week they fought the Uso's and the audience seemed dead. I have no idea what WWE management or maybe the wrestlers themselves were thinking to have a 'face vs face' match and have none of the high spots which usually accompany such a clash in order to keep fans interested...but it happened and it was boring. This RAW rematch was better, but the audience still seemed more confused and excited. Now it appears the Rhodes' brothers have turned heel and...is this a good idea?
At least Goldust has a history of villainy, so him turning into the villain can work as long as they go back to how the character used to be (creepy, underhanded and...molesty?). But Stardust seemed designed to make us laugh, which he won't be allowed to do if we're supposed to be rooting against him. The fact that they'd turn heel this quickly suggests that maybe WWE is considering the gimmick a flop and is desperately trying to salvage the situation by turning him heel.
There is a possibility that the Dust Brothers aren't really turning heel and were just playing the parts for that night (The Uso's pretty much did this on Smackdown) and they might resume being faces once the feud is resolved. But am I missing something? Or does this sudden twist suggest that Stardust is a failed experiment?
