One of the GOAT heels died 17 years ago today

[Hoss]

I loved watching him ether the crowds, he just dripped of swag. My man had the audacity to put another man's wife on his tights

Pretty much the ultimate heel move.

Linda Hogan should have had her face on those tights at some point, but Hulk didn't want none of that.

Such a great heel, and he could work. Made fat men mad while making their women wet

Had no problem eating Francine's ass too:ravishing:

 

[Ill Lou Malnati]

The shyt he pulled on Vince when he was on a taped Raw but still showed up on Nitro live the same night. Its the only reason, Vince holding them grudges even when muthafukas is in the grave.

Forgot all about that. That's how little it means.

It's not like Rude fukked his underage daughter.

 

[patscorpio]

they don't make them like rude...his career ending injury is one of the worst you'll ever see...and still wrestled in that condition

love the business too much

Only a savage would do such a thing.

2 members of the original DX die on same date

Rude was a beast I fukked with WCW Rude more I was too young to remember his first WWF run. I always wonder how they would've booked him when Hoegan came in he fukked his back up right before Hoegan debuted. WCW pre Hoegan was so superior loved watching Rude,Vader,Sting,Steamboat,Rhodes,Flair,Austin,Pillman that shyt was killing the WWF for me

 

[LurkNowitzki]

IMO the biggest hole in the HOF.

that man is a first ballot HOFer

Should've put him and Perfect in the same year

 

[El Poyo Loco]

Favorite Rude WCW moment was when he was in a match with Dustin Rhodes and he's standing over Rhodes and yells at him "YOU AIN'T shyt RHODES" there was no delay the tv and arena mics picked it up.

 

[PlayerNinety_Nine]

Rude was so natural at being hated.

One of my fave wrestling memories is of meeting him and being able to tell him to his face how furious I was when he beat Sting at this Clash of the Champions





He coulda made me look like a silly mark but just smiled big and said "what can I say I'm pretty good at my fukking job kid"



He's a HOF'er with or without the imaginary accolade. RIP

I can't help but admire your dedication to that

life.



Running up on heels, in broad day to rep for The Stinger.

Young Puppetmaster probably went into that experience believing Rick could have hit him with that Rude Awakening at any moment and still got his shyt in.
