What a time to be alive... waiting all day to see Rick Rude on late night TV and recording that shit on VHS. I wouldn't trade being a kid during that time for anything.
He was a huge fan of wrestling which largely attributes to it. I heard he was more of an NWA guy (that was his childhood), but he knew the WWF was the future
@@obadiahvondeath8048 back when this took place, absolutely. Nowadays, I don't think they are. Look at the Undertaker. He used to stay in character 24/7, but then started letting his guard down later in his career. Nowadays, he's an open book and in a completely natural voice.
LOL! This is the funniest Arsenio I've ever seen. Heenan never lost a beat with his comebacks. And that Rude segment at the end was hilarious. RIP to two great legends.
Arsenio was a HUGE Wrestling fan . He gets giddy and everything you can tell he's a hard-core wrestling fan hence why he always had Wrestling stars on the show and went along with their storyline and so on. Nostalgia i love it
Sad thing is looking back now you realise it but back then people just took it for granted that great people like this would always exist in wrestling. Unfortunately the hit factory dried up.
Rick Rude seen suppressing a laugh to try and stay in character, a bit after 8:30, "....maybe some of the people youve been dating..." lol Bobby Heenan has such a clever, quick wit. I think he's the greatest manager in the history of pro wrestling.
@@paystyles5429 It was a shame when he used do the call of the matches at ringside and would make non biased, very insightful observations , then others calling the match with him would often try and stop him from talking more, then audience members would even call him "weasel". at times. A lot of jealous people in this world. Bobby had to deal with so many of them day in and day out in his life.
@@marcleon1513 I mean, you don't have to say he stole the show, I'll say it for you....he definitely stole the show. He's a quick as they come & his gift for gab was unmatched.
i miss wrestlers staying in character while making appearances and of course i know its all a show, but wrestling to me is all about dispending belief and escaping for a bit, this just made it so much damn better, i miss these days
I know man, now when they do these appearances, they just throw away their characters, and honestly shit on the business, this is why I love Damien sandow, the guy doesn't break kayfabe when getting interviewed
yeah he does, but it just doesn't do much for me cuz it's cody rhodes...there is nothing mysterious about that character because it just popped outta nowhere, and everyone knows its just cody, and hes the son of the dusty...like it might have worked if they gave a new guy that gimmick, where people didn't really know his background ya know?
I sure do wish wrestling was still like this. The 80's were the best time for wrestling ever in the history. RIP Rick Rude and Bobby Heenan. All the greats are pretty much gone
You know what Arsenio may not been the great interview but if it wasn't for him late night tv would of been dull and boring. He change late night tv to what it is now. There wouldnt be a jimmy kimbel or jimmy fullon if it wasnt for Arsenio. He wasn't no Johnny Carson but he did lead the way for new type of late night tv. He also gave a phatform to some of the best people in movies,tv and music today. So all you people who says he suck yall are full of it. Give this man is respect and due. He will be remember as one of the greats Late night tv host not for his interview skill but for his ground breaking style of late night tv.
I loved Arsenio and I wish he was still around. I also agree that he brought a new style to late night tv and he was a trip the way he played along with the people on his show. I loved when the Macho Man Randy Savage was on his show.
Rick Rude,gifted in-ring performer and one of greatest and most charismatic "heels" ever...He was awesome!P.S.Bobby Heenan,the greatest manager of all time and one of the greatest wrestling personalities ever...I really miss those figures.
So awesome! Thanks for uploading this. I remember Bobby Heenan referring to this in his book and what a nice guy Arsenio Hall was and I always wanted to see the interview.
@@rosalinacv1996 to get away? No it was called having a sense of humor. Busting balls. Aka taking a joke. Now it's the snowflakes like you who single handedly are ruining comedy
I really wish they could keep this idea alive. legit talk shows interviewing wrestlers and having fun with it, I've been binge watching these all day, and every single one of them are just a joy to watch. Macho's and Roddy's are so far the best.
may have something to do with Rude being on both WWF Monday Night Raw and WCW Monday Night Nitro on the same night on live tv. Regardless he should have been in years ago.
i really doubt that's the reason, vince has had way bigger beefs with the likes of bret hart, ultimate warrior etc and they're in there, i'm guessing it's down to a family member not wanting him in there (i know that's the reason owen hart's not in it), but there are rumors ric rude is going in this year
Rick rude was a real life bad ass behind the scenes too i have heard that from many wrestlers in shoot interviews he is one of the top 5 toughest in the business when he was in wcw and had to give the belt back they were scared to try to get it from him when he was leaving.
He beat the piss out of the Ultimate Warrior one time and Macho Man made him one of his body guards one night so he wouldn't get jumped by any NWA guys... they had no problems that night.
Yea ric rude apparently use to go to bar's with his girlfriend and purposely leave her to see if a guys come to chat her up.......he would then beat the guy up lmao
You can tell Rick is from near Minneapolis when the Posse starts playing Thriller. He had to keep up kayfabe during the interview, but once the funk hit he’s totally trying not to jam out... Minny is home to a lot of musical talent.
3:30 It's interesting, because the episode of WWF Saturday Night Main Event that they're referring to was actually taped on 7/16/90. So this Arsenio episode is 11 days after Rude lost the match that he's promoting here. Of course, in those days only the folks attending the arena shows knew these things, since there were no internet.
Just before Rick Rude left the WWE rather suddenly. He was one of the best workers in the business. Bobby Heenan is on top form as always - R.I.P to one of the best wrestling commentators in history.
One of the greatest of all times.. and he was a real fighter outside the Ring.. Real life warrior got beat up by rude.. he was tough fr plus other wrestler's told stories how he was.. but genuinely a nice guy
What a time to be alive... waiting all day to see Rick Rude on late night TV and recording that shit on VHS. I wouldn't trade being a kid during that time for anything.
That's a true goddam statement!!!!
Amen
Same here. I was 12 at the time.
I'm with u on the 100% bro. Nothing will ever beat being a kid in the 80s :)
@@ericthomas917 this aired on July 27th 1990. I would have just turned 11 on July 22nd :)
I love how Arsenio had all these wrestlers on his show, and treated them with total respect.
Such fun memories.
@RetroRuss I love how they stayed in kayfab and Arsenal went with it. Regis did the same.
Respect🤔......Hall treated the heels like trash.
He was a huge fan of wrestling which largely attributes to it. I heard he was more of an NWA guy (that was his childhood), but he knew the WWF was the future
RUDE rocking Leopard suit & Nike Air Trainers aka Bo jacksons
RIP to both legends, Bobby Heenan and Rick Rude.
I love how Arsenio pretended to not like Boby and Rick. This was TV!
Your right aresenio was a huge wrestling fan and what was great he went into character like the wrestlers on the show which made it so great
Same
Arsenio is one of the few night shows to invite so many wrestlers and give them a platform to shine with the public. Respect to Arsenio Hall..
WHy is why Hall should be in the HOF.
The Golden era of heels. The Ravishing one; an all time great!
He was so cool
Rude had too much damn swag. leopard with Bo Jacksons......
Lmaooooooo
He sure did, I miss him!
Too much homie.. R.I.P Ravishing Rick Rude
What interview was that? Would love to see it.
Eggy Noggy What interview? Rick never did a shoot interview to my knowledge. That story sounds like BS.
Ravishing Rick was way ahead of his time. He would be way over today as a heel
I agree that he would be way over but as a babyface.
He was WAY over then !
Bobby Heenan was a comic genius
Lee Stenson so slick with it. Ironic what happened to him
blastercombo audio ironic seems abit harsh....but true I suppose..life is cruel.
Sad. Hate to say it but that's what cigars and cigarettes do. It really sucks though because in all reality he was a great guy
Bobby Hernandez was a genius personified.
@@davidpallin772 who?
I would love for Rick Rude to be alive today to tell the story behind this. I bet it was alot of fun doing this show.
Aresino could give it if asked lol. Rick n Bobby along with Arsenio looks like hes having fun
Yeah , I wonder of the wrestlers were in character off-screne ? Surely , Arsenic would know the difference ?
@@obadiahvondeath8048 back when this took place, absolutely. Nowadays, I don't think they are.

stone cold always refers to rick as the manliest dude ever. rip, loved watching him work.
Good to see Kayfabe maintained in this interview. Rick Rude for HOF 2017.
Rick was definitely ravishing. Absolutely gorgeous.
LOL! This is the funniest Arsenio I've ever seen. Heenan never lost a beat with his comebacks. And that Rude segment at the end was hilarious. RIP to two great legends.
Arsenio was on fire during the late 80s-early 90s.
saj8 they really should put Arsenio in the WWE Hall of Fame for putting all the stars on his show
@@ivanmitchell3130 Even I would love to know why he hasn't been inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame. He definitely deserves it!
Ivan Mitchell Try to start a petition
@@ivanmitchell3130 I agree, this guy did really contribute by letting these guys coming on his shows and putting them over.

Anyone else not skip through the commercials? Lol. Brings back good memories.
lol, lost interest in the video at about 1:30, saw your comment and stood for the commercials.
I actually watched them lol.
Jorge Torres nope reminisce on my childhood
I she'd a few tears...it took me back in my childhood watching these shows in my gma living room. r.i.p JYD
I was 16 when this was original aired just a kid! now im old 😭
im enjoying these 1990 commercials lol
Me too dude!
@lefthookricky 😁
Did love this pairing Rude was a master heel on his own but the pairing with Heenan was Golden
Sad thing is looking back now you realise it but back then people just took it for granted that great people like this would always exist in wrestling. Unfortunately the hit factory dried up.
Yes very much like Heenan and Nick Bockwinkel. Both on their own were fantastic but paired up they were in a league all their own.
Rick Rude what a absolute legend...tell ya ppl ...i miss the oldskool so much...best days ever. Godbless ya Rick
Glad the commercials stayed in. It's like a time capsule!!
Life lessons from Rick Rude on women.

thats why they call him the brain

Rick Rude had some of the best tights of any wrestlers ever. Miss having great heels like him in the WWE.
i miss wrestlers staying in character while making appearances and of course i know its all a show, but wrestling to me is all about dispending belief and escaping for a bit, this just made it so much damn better, i miss these days
kayfabe was great, and if someone said wrestling was fake or tried to make fun of business the wrestlers would have to put that person in their place.
I know man, now when they do these appearances, they just throw away their characters, and honestly shit on the business, this is why I love Damien sandow, the guy doesn't break kayfabe when getting interviewed
Stardust is the only guy that stays in character
yeah he does, but it just doesn't do much for me cuz it's cody rhodes...there is nothing mysterious about that character because it just popped outta nowhere, and everyone knows its just cody, and hes the son of the dusty...like it might have worked if they gave a new guy that gimmick, where people didn't really know his background ya know?

I wish tv people where like him. Playing with the wrestlers and having fun. I’m a huge Rick Rude and Bobby fan. That was awesome!
I love when these dudes stay in character
I had to LMFAO when Rude starts flexing his ass muscles and says " Now let's get busy!" 😂😂
When Rude said "I'm gonna be on him like a leopard on a lamb"... I thought he was gonna say "I'm gonna be on him like a cougar at closing time".
Rick Rude actually was extremely handsome now that I watch the old stuff back.lol
I hope you’re a broad.
the ending is hilarious. In germany we never knew that arsenio invited wwf stars in his show
Bobby Heenan greatest manager of all time... way ahead of his time.
Rude's mustache is f'n EPIC!
Love the old commercials. Brings bs k a lot of nostalgia
Love it. God Bless Bobby Hennan.

He looks like him
Rampage Clover haha true!
More like Burt Reynolds
That's true i always said that rude a real player
Especially with that thick moustache! He was the King of cool heels! Too much, man, too much!!!

I was implying to Mr. Hall as an entertainer.... He did what few in late did and that's make WWF / WWE mainstream to the average observer / fan
