— Dusty Rhodes is said to have been the one behind the angle on RAW where Vader and Goldust came out, with Coach dressed up like Austin. Vince McMahon is particularly mad at Dusty for how this turned out, plus the fact that Vince never liked Vader in the first place. Some backstage are afraid to get close to Dusty as Vince will associate the two.
Last year, when in a booking meeting the subject of bringing in big names was brought up, one writer mentioned Vader and was almost laughed out of the room.
