The following are highlights of several WWE.com articles: New York Yankee great Rich "Goose" Gossage, a Colorado resident, was backstage at RAW Monday. "This is the first time I've ever seen this live," Gossage said. "I've seen it on TV, but, in person, this is the greatest show on earth. Baseball's a subdued game. At a show like this, it always feels like the bottom of the ninth with two out at Yankee Stadium. It's non-stop." While RAW fans here were talking about Triple H, Goldberg and Kane, one flamboyant Superstar predicted that, soon, much of the chatter would be about him. "I believe I'll be the World Champion one day," predicted Goldust, backstage at RAW, looking composed after a recent vacation from televised combat. "It's something every WWE Superstar wants, and something I believe I'll get." Asked if he could replicate the achievements of his father, the legendary Dusty Rhodes, Goldust insisted, "I'm as big as my father ever was. He's Dusty. I'm Goldust. And I stepped out of his shoes a long time ago." Despite his loss to Val Venis on RAW, Rico was still full of bravado. "I'm a cross between Liberace and Mike Tyson," he boasted. How did he make the jump to a Superstar who comes from the ring in fluorescent green suits and glitter in his hair? "It takes a lot of long hours in front of the mirror, looking into who you are," he said. Rico readily admits that his partnership with the statuesque Miss Jackie makes him even more marketable. "What can you say?" he remarks. "She's a looker. And when I give my opponents my spinning kick, the fans begin to understand that, with all his flamboyance, Rico is every bit as macho and tough as anyone in WWE."
