Rick Rude's run in early-90's WCW was pure piff. I was really hoping he'd be able to come back from the back injury 



didn't even know the subliminal I just threw. Imagine if Austin Aries did THAT to Christy Hemme though
Bret Hart praised Rick Rude in his book for being the kind of dude who never took his wedding ring off because he was so devoted to his wife. He'd just put tape over it before a match.
So these clips are just examples of a man sticking to a script and being dedicated to his craft.![]()

I hated rude as a kid all the way to my teens..but hate in the way he did his gimmick so well that he was an unlikeable mufukka...I fukked with his ring work and finisher...he is an all time great![]()
I always thought Dolph should have thrown his Zig Zag finisher in the bushes and adopt the Rude Awakening as his finisher, but instead Layla does it... what the fukk is a Lay-Out?
