Golden Truth

[7.0] "Ok, so I watched most of their matches with a giant asterisk right by it. I haven't seen one promo or segment, it's 100% ring work I viewed. All I was doing at the time was deep diving the ringwork of Goldust, late into his career. This has everything to do with the game "Here Comes The Pain" and building an accurate moveset that features Goldust's standout moves from ALL of his ring years. Gotta straight up say it: This might be the only time I legitimately liked R-Truth instead of feeling underwhelmed or the worse feeling of him just NOT belonging. These two seemed to belong together and there is chemistry. I liked what I watched, wasn't "amazing" or whatever but what simply "good enough" and that works for me. If I ever get to watch that particular era of time in earnest, perhaps the score and write up will change. 7.25"

[4.0] "I like Dustin and I think R-Truth is a very effective worker, but at that moment they just threw to comedy wrestlers and jobbers into one act, just to have something. I believe that they delivered what they could've, because they are not bad workers, but the tag just wasn't supposed to be something else."

[4.0] "This felt like a weak attempt to make another odd couple pairing for Goldust. I wasn't opposed to the idea because R-Truth is legit pretty funny and Rhodes' best quality is his persona at this point in his career, but it never felt like the two got a particular chemistry with each other despite some decent promo work, and it ended as soon as it actually got started as they mostly jobbed to the Shining Stars and other generally crappy guys. Not good at all."

[5.0] "Two of WWE favorite comedy wrestlers so they decided to pair them up in a tag team. The two trying to get the other to agree to form a tag team was initially funny but went too long. In the ring while age had started catching up to both of them, they could still deliver a decent match and on the mic the two were good."

[3.0] "This was fun while it lasted. In terms of in ring, they were far from being good but they had decent promos as well as a fun gimmick. Now Dustin is one of the big star in AEW."

[4.0] "This team is INCREDIBLY unfunny! A storyline that overstayed its welcome and just takes up space. My god, what the hell is this?"

[6.0] "Golden Truth's development into a tag team was sloppy at best. How they came to be was mishandled horribly. That being said, as a team, they areally fairly entertaining. Goldust is a tag specialist, and they work well off of one another."

[5.0] "This goofy combo doesn't produce great or good matches, but they produce comedy. Comedy is one of many things lacking on WWE today."

[5.0] "It's definitely a lower-card tag team. Nothing much other than somewhat nice comedy segments from them."
