The real reason WWE is releasing Goldust

--The real reason for WWE's decision to release Dustin Runnels aka Goldust, is that he simply was too injury prone, and there was nothing left for him to do creatively. While it was known backstage for a while that Goldust would be let go in January, most find it odd that WWE went public with the release so far in advance.

--Goldust was told he could submit some ideas for his character, and if they were good, something could possibly be worked out with regards to keeping him around. No word on how that went, but with the fact that WWE went public about his impending release, it looks like it didn’t go well at all and Goldust is indeed out of WWE.

--Runnels had just received medical clearance to make an in-ring return.
