Holy shit Stardust is just as amazing as I ever wanted him to be - I loved the concept, and now I love the character even more.

Oh and I met Damien Sandow before - the guy's a real sweetheart.

How did it come to be that this is not that weird of a video to be hosted on a gaming site...

I love it!

Stardust knows the moon. Wait a minute...

That is showing volume not general size. Check this:

Pick moon and sun and hit compare. The answer it spits back is 1:416 size ratio. Stardust wins.

@keris: Yeah, I realized right after and retracted my comment =(. He does know his moons, I don't apparently, it just sounded too small when I heard the number!

It's been a very long time since I watched wrestling, but every time I happen by Stardust or OG Goldust, I go to a happy happy place.

Bar that Stone Cold fella... they all seem like they're on drugs.

Also, Dan's quip to Stardust about the "idle animation" was genuinely funny.

@danryckert pretty good on the mic. Let's see him cut some Randy Savage style promos.

I've seen a few of the other interviews with the same wrestlers from other outlets, and Dan/Alex completely knocked it out of the park with both questions and not leading. Obviously cherrypicked content (for practical reasons; nobody wants to sift), but Dan is a really great interviewer, and the level of thought put into the questions and approach with each person he interviewed was apparent. The Stardust bits were Gold (pun intended).

Only depressing thing is that the WWE (or at least Vince) still wants to push wrestlers like Brie (by far the stiffest person of this bunch) as opposed to Bryan, and Sandow is super charismatic AND skilled, yet only gimmicks in a different costume each week before getting destroyed after 3 seconds.

So..is Stardust wearing Star Man's skin RIGHT NOW?!

I guess this makes the Stardust/Goldust heel make more sense, knowing Stardust's dark history.

I have zero knowledge of, or interest in wrestling but I found this highly entertaining. Dan is a very good interviewer. That guy with the gold face paint was funny.

Yeah, Dan has been a great interviewer since he started at Game Informer. Watch this legendary interview as evidence:

These guys were hella entertaining. And I just used the word "hella" because I thought it fit a video about wrestling dudes. Steve Austin's like a real life Ron Swanson.

Holy crap, Stone Cold carries a Chris Reeve Sebenza. I would've thought him to be more of a Strider guy.

Stone Cold is just such a cool guy. Even if you aren't a fan of wrestling his podcast is well worth listening to. In fact, it's because of it that I was able to pull out my pocket knife when they were talking about it.

Stardust also seems the perfect kind of insane.... I dropped off wrestling back in the early 2000s... may need to get back into it.
