Dustin Rhodes, a.k.a. wrestling legend Goldust, says: “The Motor City has a very special place in my heart – from working at Cobo Hall, to The Palace at Auburn Hills, to the mightiest of the mighty… Joe Louis Arena. I’ve been coming to Detroit and the surrounding areas for 30 years and have always felt a special bond with its citizens. They have loved me, they have hated me, they have laughed with me, but most importantly, they have accepted and adored the Rhodes/Goldust name. I am super excited to come to Astronomicon and meet my fans on a more personal level. They are the reason I do what I do. Thank you and I hope to see and meet the whole damn city! Love y’all! #KeepSteppin”
