One of the most underrated wrestlers of all time. I definitely think he should be an inductee for the 2010 Hall of Fame.
I just saw him do the greatest attack ever which kinda sparked this thread. It was The Patriot vs Triple H.
The Patriot came out waving the American flag, Rick Rude came out from behind sipping coffee and carrying his briefcase. He kicked Patriot in the ass, threw coffee on him and then beat him down with his briefcase.
Seriously amazing.

Me too, Cam. Me too...
Before Curt Hennig came to the WWF, Rude was my absolute favorite.

phenomenal talent..... he really was.I loved his feud with Jake The Snake.......brilliance throughout, including that WM4 match.
his feud with Sting was also great.Paul Bearer tells some great stories about him on his shoot and how he was a tough mother in real life too.

Please tell me I'm not the only one who thought Rude was wearing two belts... But, I was watching Vintage Collection a couple days ago and it contained "The WCW Halloween Phantom". Obviously, with it being Rude, it made me remember a better time of wrestling... much better than the crap we get nowadays (which turned me to MMA).

He made the feud with Warrior great. Yeah, the only Warrior feuds I enjoyed were the feuds against Rick Rude and Randy Savage, it wasn't for Warrior either.

Rude was awesome everywhere he wrestled from World Class, to the NWA, to the WWE and up until the end of his career in WCW.
He was magic on the mic, had a great look and played the role of heel to perfection. I consider him a former Wold Champion.

which shoot are you talking about? the straight shootin roh ones or something else? no it was his RF video one.its very good. i read once that he knocked out a massive body builder with a slap whilst nursing a dislocated elbow (presumably his other arm) is that story on the dvd? or can anyone confirm this?

I dont think that was on there.......but Pringle/Bearer does tell stories of how tough he was and how Rude got him the Job in WWF. he tells stories of how Rude LOVED a fight and he would send his wife/girlfriend(cant remember which)up to the bar to be hit on.......then start a fight with the guy that was hitting on her also on Heenans shoot(I found this bizarre)when Heenan was asked about Rick Rude he said Rude didnt want anything to do with him and moaned all the time to Vince about how he didnt need a manager!! that shocked me because I consider them one of the greatest manager/wrestler combos EVER.
