Goldust def. Stardust

MEMPHIS, Tenn. – The increasing turmoil between Goldust and Stardust came to a climax of galactic proportions at WWE Fastlane Sunday night, as the brothers battled it out in a vicious match. Goldust may have won the match, but it was an unhinged Stardust who got the last evil laugh when he attacked his brother backstage and berated their father, WWE Hall of Famer Dusty Rhodes.

Goldust, who had been trying to snap his younger sibling back into reality and save him from entering too far into the darkness of his Stardust persona, won the match with a roll-up that caught his brother off-guard. Afterward, a bewildered Stardust walked away from his brother’s extended hand and pleas to listen to reason.

Moments later backstage, Stardust assaulted his own flesh and blood in front of their father, calling Goldust an “albatross” and “bag of bones.” Then Stardust aggressively told his father, “You killed Cody Rhodes!” as Goldust writhed on the floor in pain.

“One more thing, big daddy, I am not living in your shadow. You’re living in mine!” Stardust said, kicking his fallen brother to the shock of Dusty.

Is this truly the end of a brotherhood that included two WWE Tag Team Championships? Is Cody Rhodes truly no more…and is he right about who’s to blame?
