No matter how much he played up the heel angle, no matter how many insults he hurled at the audience, and no matter how much you hated him, you absolutely had to respect how much talent and ability he brought to the ring. One of the best, in my opinion.
He was the man you love to hate. One of the best heels ever. He was no doubt one hell of a preformer
Absolutely one of the best heels in wrestling history.
No question.
I'm sure most gym rats loved him, especially his mentality towards out of shape people that don't hit the gym.
FuckYeah!1CaptivatingBadAssLegend! #Rude4Life #swadediesel4life🤘
I met Rick Rude at a Tri-state show in Philadelphia along with Dory Funk Jr. and Jerry Lawler. My friends car battery died and we were looking for a payphone to call AAA. Rick said don't worry about it and drove us to our car and gave us a jump start. Real classy guy definitely not like his character! RIP Rick.
That's awesome.
George Williams tell us more was he as big as he looked was he cool
He was a lot like his character you are wrong
Awesome story.
@@michaelallanrubin2376 but at least he was a nice guy at times and helped people.
"What I'm gonna need now is for all you overweight ,out of shape inner city sweathogs to pipe down so the ladies can get what they came to see HIT THE MUISC " Classic Rude R.I.P
Both Rick Rude & Curt Hennig were two of the best heels in the WWF. RIP
Don't forget Bobby henan. I don't ever remember him being a good guy.
Mr. RADICAL Heenan was a great heel manager and announer he was a terrible wrestler
@@timfrederick9305 Wrong. Great bump taker as a wrestler. Best bump taker ever as a manager
Mr Perfect was actually one of the greatest wrestlers period. He was so underrated!
Indeed. And both from Minnesota. Not too far away from myself. Both highly entertaining.
That man should have been WWF champion. A true badass. Rest in Power, Rick!
Plus he gave women the rude awakening
My favorite line from Rick Rude while doing commentary on ECW TV was “Francine can’t wrestle a lick, but you should see her box!” RIP to one of the all-time greats.
Damn it man I can't stop laughing
Rude tongue punched her fart box after a show
And when he said Shane Douglas was hung like a hamster.
🤣
@QuentinDude LMFAO 😆LMFAO😱 LMFAO 😉
Thank you ✨
Rude Was to me the greatest Heel in the 80's I was a HUGE Ultimate Warrior fan and Rude made him look like a million bucks in every match!! Rude your truly missed I hope you and Warrior are having one he'll of a match upstairs with Heenan in your corner..
Mike Sharon absolutely right! Their feud was magic. It was mainly down to Rude’s talent and a little to Warrior’s charisma
@@markedwin3740 Absolutely I own ever Warrior released blurays and dvd sets and I was just watching their matches earlier today amazed at how Rude took all those bumps and made Warrior look invincible
Mike Sharon even his bumps had snap. He was so great with Warrior. I think, in the WWF at the time, only Hennig and Hart could’ve given Warrior the rub like that.
@@markedwin3740 Exactly right and Macho did wonders with Warrior to
Mike Sharon by the way: cool that you’ve got the DVDs. Good choice. I only have Perfect’s DVD from that time. As a side note: the best match on the Perfect DVD is him vs Bockwinkel.
He had it all. The physique, the agility, the mic work, and was hell of a worker and a tough SOB apparently too.
If he hadn't died and actually made his comeback to wrestling I have no doubt he'd have a huge career renaissance like Shawn Michaels did.
RIP Ravishing Rick Rude
All you need to know is when Steve Austin called Rick a man's man! That says everything... RR was well respected by the boys.
Nah he was a ladies man
A man's man and a ladies man, that's quite the man!
It's absolutely criminal that guys like Rick Rude, Curt Hennig, Scott Hall, Ted Dibiase, Paul Orndorff and Roddy Piper never ever held the WWF title.
But kofi gets one smh
@@jameswatson7409 and Jinder, Khali also former world champion, ridiculous
@@jameswatson7409 its life it happens. And kofi deserves it
Back then there was fewer titles changes so fewer talent got the belt.Jinder Mahal was a joke champion I’m torn about Kofi on one hand he is a great wrestler on the other hand he could have filled SD Jones role in the 80s he doesn’t have the look of a wrestling champion.He is small and kind of dorky.
Mr. Perfect VS. Bret Hart matches were some of the best.
Stone Cold's story about Rick Rude telling him to stop cussing while smoking weed in the backseat always makes me laugh
STEVE!!! MUST YOU USE THE LORDS NAME IN VEIN 😂
Love the Ravishing one and always be missed
Him, Rick and Heyman hahahaha I love that story!
@@spaea2062 would have loved to be on the road with them lot, imagine it was a right laugh
Rick rude hated fat outta shape sweathogs!
The night of the Montreal Screwjob, after the match Rude stayed with Bret in his locker room. Stayed Loyal to his Homie till the end. Rick was a real one!
He did?
Ya Bret talks about it in bio
@Dan Chapowski who cares if it was Rick did a friendly thing for Bret
S Paea MR perfect was a better face than heel
@@dasiareed8922 your mama
"Franciene can't wrestle a lick, but you should see her Box" -Ravishing Rick Rude.
My favorite wrestler of all time! He had it all... looks, attitude, strength and skill. If he's not your favorite wrestler, you have to admit he's one of your favorite heels.
Considering his friendship with Bret, If he were alive today, I'd ask Rude how much he didn't get along with Shawn Michaels and how difficult it was to associate with DX.
the one guy i wanted to see the most today has a manager or figure of some kind, too bad he passed away.
Curt Henning last days? sign me up!
Hard to believe it’s been 20 years since Rick Rude passed. Now he was one underrated wrestler. He was like the Val Venis of the 80’s.
Val Venis was a bum
@deathflower Val Venus wasn't in he same league as Rick Rude. Rude was 10× better on the mic and in the ring.
Why even insult Van Venis??? There's no need 4 that! Why not just celebrate the life of Rick Rude?
With all due respect,that remark ain't worth a velvet painting of a whale and a dolphin getting it on.
Rude was a Transformer and Venus is. Gobot
Died at 40? Damn!!
I first saw him when I was probably 6, I'm 42 now, and I literally thought he was bulletproof, bigger than life, super human even.
Rest well Rude One.
Absolutely no one is bullet proof.
Pam Lyles do you think he literally thought he was bulletproof? You know what he meant, stop being stupid..
Dam alright I'm 42 as well 1978 don't the days fly right!... Man those days were awesome 👌
Same
@@pamlyles8905 50 Cent
All the "Behind the Titantrons" have been good. This is easily one of the best. Forgot how much I missed this guy.
I met rick when I was 9 years old. I have pictures with him. He was very nice.
Rick Rude was in hindsight probably one of the greatest heels in wrestling. I could not stand him as a kid and hated him, always wanting him to win and his arrogance always wound me up. A great heel
WWF in the 80's and early 90's was really something special and Ravishing Rick Rude was a big part of that. It's so crazy to me that the last time he wrestled was in 1994 and that he's been gone for so long now. Memories...another great piece here. Peace
I was always a fan of Rick Rude. His son had also passed as well. This is sad. May they both RIP. 🙏
ladyofwisdom2 ❤❤❤
What happened to his son, and when ? This is the first time I've heard anything about it.
@@TedBronson1918 wrestlingnews.co/wwe-news/rick-rudes-son-killed-in-motorcycle-accident/ motorcycle accident, 2016 - very, very sad - kid was only 19. It's a shame wrestling history has alot of tragedy in it.
@@TedBronson1918 i believe it was a motorcycle accident.
Behind the Titantron is the 30 for 30 for us wrestling fans. This is the best documentary, period. Thank you, Wrestlelamia, for doing this.
RIP to the Ravishing One ! One of the best heels and from the stories I’ve heard a true tough as nails guy
I grew up in the golden era of wrestling & there will never be another era or characters like it :/ I haven’t watched any wrestling since the mid-90s. RIP Ravishing Rick Rude!!!
You deserve every penny you make for this series. Very well done, your work is very much appreciated.
The best pro wrestling series on YT. Congratulations, Wrestlelamia 😀🤗
I kick the shit outta you !!!!!
Rude was awesome I remember him in world class championship wrestling way before he became a wwf wrestler and it sucks when these wrestlers pass away because they give us so many great memories that we will remember for the rest of our lives I hope wrestling can one day retain the magic it has lost
Whether you liked Rick or not,you can't dispute the fact this guy was ALL MAN. RIP.
Outstanding work!! Rick Rude was one of my favorite heels. Loved his WCW run as World Champion. Thank you
It's crazy how Jake the snake and Scott hall are still alive
DDP
@@darthvader875 yeah if it wasnt for him those 2 would totally not be here....jake was smoking crack for fuck sake
Akshay Notiyal DDPYOGA
Ddp and saved on time
Wtf do one on the wolverine the ra id one no way he hurt his family sullivan did it. Really vince show one on the wolverine
RIP Richard Erwin "Ravishing Rick Rude" Rood, December 7, 1958 - April 20, 1999
We share the same birthday 🎂
Wow. I’ve learned so much from your channel. More needs to be done for wrestlers, it’s sad that many of them have tragic endings.😭
Great episode. Like I said before, underrated wrestler. Love watching his matches with Warrior, Jake Roberts, and especially Ricky Steamboat.
I was literally waiting all day for this episode of BTT, once again great job Wreslelamia
one of the best heels ever, a legend who wrestled everyone, a man who commanded respect in that locker room, the ravishing one.....Rick Rude...... Rip.......
New fan here, been binge watching this series and it's great stuff. Would love to see a BTT on Nelson Frazier Jr. aka Mable/Viscera.
Came Back Vexed why
Your behind the Titantron series is some of the best stuff I’ve ever seen!
I know right
Could literally put this on wwes network programming. That's how well put together it is.
Your*
Some of the stuff said about rude was lies on this
Michael Allan Rubin what wasn’t true? I don’t know his story the best so I’m curious what wasn’t correct? So far I’ve found these pretty spot on
RIP Rick Rude my favorite wrestler of all time
I'm actually excited to watch this as if it was coming out in theaters, because that is how good these series are!!
One of my all time favorite heels. He was definitely ahead of his time. RIP Rick Rude. "Hit The Music." That was for you ladies.
I really like the way you narrate this series. Thanks so much for another job well done. 🤗
I can't wait for the Curt Hennig episode he also died way too young 😞
Its really sad and most of them died of drugs
Everybody thought I was weird because I thought Perfect was the best wrestlers ever all time.
Chris benoit wtf vince guys dead no life in your heart no way he would kill his family. Every one turn back on the rabid one rip chris. Legion of doom best tag team ever rip lod doom on
@@kgbslim8618 Nothing wrong with that I was a huge Mr. Perfect fan Hulk Hogan in my opinion was a bit overrated but Hogan did brought wrestling national so I'll give him credit for that
@@rickyrosay33977 I saw an interview with Hulk Hogan and he said Henning really was perfect. When he would arrive at the gym all the guys there knew he was going to straight dominate everybody on the weights and on the mat, real life not scripted. He was that much of a beast! I don't know why I mean his techniques were awesome and all and how he played heel ....to me he was as Perfect as one could get. He brought it all! Miss seeing him in the ring.
I enjoyed seeing Rick Rude wrestle back in the day I loved the storyline between him and Jake The Snake Roberts! That fight between him and Sting was brutal!
I seen something where they got into it back stage once after Sting won the belt. So, that was real?
RIP Ravishing one. Back in the day he provided us with such top class entertainment great memories.
These episodes keep getting better and better. I loved this man and that he was an amazing character. Ty for the episode.
Rick Rude was my favorite heel from the 80's and early 90's. His gimmick was exceptionally heel, but at the same time it was quite comical. He did almost a comedy routine to his matches. The way he would bend his back when he got hit or pretended to be hurt was hilarious and doing shit like having his tights ripped off in the middle of the ring in front of 1000's of fans. He also would put funny characetures of people on his tights to piss people off like Jake Robert's wife. And of course his epic ring entrances with that music and his torments of fat ,lazy, out of shape people in the crowds from each city. The kiss at the end that would make some random woman faint was pretty crazy too. And of course anytime you had Bobby Heenen by your side as your manager their was a whole other comedic aspect to it as well. He was a legend. And to this day hes still my all time favorite heel who ever did it. My dad never liked wrestling. He thought it was stupid and I could never understand why because I thought it was all real. But he definitely got a serious kick out of Ravishing Rick Rude and would laugh and joke with us about him or during a match if we were watching and he was home. So for Rick Rude to be that good at what he was doing to impress my dad who didnt care for WWF was pretty hilarious. There were some others too who I caught my dad enjoying like George "the Animal" Steele, Kamala, Iron Shiek, and JYD too. Not sure why those guys in particular he found so entertaining, but he most definitely did. It's crazy too because he passed away exactly one year after Rick Rude also of a sudden heart attack. (4/20/00)
I always found Rick Rude funny. He's just chillin there with his intercontinental belt, staring at you through the tv camera lens looking like a strutting tomcat in heat.
Finally...my favorite heel of all time. One of the greatest ever to do it. Should have been a world champion in WWF. He had it all.
Best series on the channel. RIP RIC RUDE. An absolute Legend.
Too bad that Rick Rude didn't go against New Jack years ago which would've been a real good match had that really happened.
I love the Behind The Titantron series. Thank you for sharing.
😍
Once again another excellent video with solid production and editing. I also noticed I never subscribed in the past so im doing that now.
Excellent vids and always look forward to watching them. Such a sad loss of Rick. A proper great heal.
Such an awesome heel. I loved the promos he gave on the Boss Man's mother.
Ravishing Rick Rude... What a name.
What a great entertainer.....the current wrestlers today just cannot compare to that era!!! He is missed!!!!
I'm doing a complete day binge on these videos I absolutely love this channel you guys are amazing 👍👍
I love your series it’s so amazing. Also your voice is perfect for this series. Gives it a chilling feel
my favorite all time wrestler. saw him in person many times in the 80's. RIP
I've been waiting for this one. Rick Rude was so underrated. It's a shame that he suffered that terrible back injury. I don't know why they had that elevated platform outside the ring during his final match. Seems like negligence on the promotions part. It makes me wonder how different his life and career would have been if he hadn't suffered that back injury. Maybe he'd still be with us. Very sad.
Fantastic series! Excellent work and please keep them coming!!!
My absolute favorite wrestler of all time - even when I was a kid. Thank you so much for making this video!
Awesome show as usual! I grew up loving Rick Rude! Major talent! His death was nothing shy of a tragedy.
Rick Rude had it all: the body, in ring skills and mic skills.
Rude should have taken the WWF world title from Warrior.
Wrong! Warrior wasn't doing Hogan numbers but he was a face, so at least he was selling toys and Warrior face masks from the WWF catalog (I had one of those). Rude was a heel, heel's didn't sell merch, which is why they never held the title for more than a few hours/days/months. And if you're thinking they should have traded the title back and fourth WRONG AGAIN, that just devalued it. This was the time when they could have the EXACT same card at three different cities and nobody would notice as long as it didn't happen on TV. So you are wrong but thanks for trying.
@@evilubuntu9001 So, you think Slaughter was a better choice of taking the title from Warrior?
Slaughter was a heel too, idiot.
@@kenterminateddq5311 he doesn't know how heel transitional champions work lol.
@@right-wing_reactionarychri8798 Of course I do. Rick Rude should have won the title from Warrior and then lose it to Hogan.
God, you are such a piece of shit troll. Go troll someone else!
Brilliant episode once again, Ravishing Rick Rude was truly the most underrated wrestlers of all time. I have said before, he was so good he could drew heat from an ice cube
R.I.P.
Thanks for uploading the Behind the Titantron series on the Final Days of "Ravishing" Rick Rude. I'll be waiting for the next episode about the Final Days of Rude's buddy Mr. Perfect. Both Rude and Henning were two of the greatest heels in wrestling history and they sadly died young. RIP Ravishing Rick Rude and Mr. Perfect
This was another great episode, but i missed that intro
I met Rude at a Philadelphia strip club when he briefly worked for ECW. Nice guy.
I dont think so its him, he died at 1999
The strip club was called “Cheerleaders “. It was during his 97 brief run . He was tipping left and right. Big Dick Dudley was there also getting lap dances with two girls at a time
Great episode, very well put together👍👍, now keep the noise down while I watch another Wrestlelamia video✌🇺🇸
Great channel probably the best wrestling one on here
Well edited and clearly narrated
Covers all aspects
Brings back childhood memories so thankyou for your uploads
Rude was my favourite wrestler great body and a really get under your skin kinda mouth
He was funny, I used to think he was indistructable
Bless his heart RIP rick rude
True legend
Who’s here before 1 Million?
The Elite Wrestling Zone everyone
One of the very best, played the heel perfectly. All his feuds were great.
Great video, I always look forward to these.
I look forward to these videos, keep it up man
One of my favorite wrestlers and he was absolutely gorgeous❤❤❤rip beautiful one.🙏💪
RIP RICK RUDE!! MUCH LOVE TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY!! GOD BLESS 🙏🙏 YOU
Wow. Awesome video. Thanks Wrestlelamia!!!!!!!
He was my favorite wrestlers when growing up. He did have a perfect body. I always wondered what happened to him. Thanks for sharing.
I love this series you do a great job!! would love to see an episode about the last days of Sherri Martel.
About time bruh. All these news back and forth. Forgets how the channel started. These are by far the best in your channel, keep bringing them. 😡👍
Cyber sight For reals, there’s to many Wrestling News Channels. He should stick to doing these more.
@@wwffigureproductions6545 wrestlelamia definitely has been over saturated. Follow them on Instagram you wouldn't think they could come up with something so sophisticated like this
Crazy how fast this chanel went downhill. It's happening all over RUclips. Glad to see another behind the Titantron instead of the daily dose of TMZ clickbait "news."
Justin Chaney Yea Pllana, Wrestlelamia, and WhatCulture aren’t as good now. Their original formats were better.
Finally a new video from behind the titantron... And o offering to the next one... thank you... 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🙏🏼
Thank you for bringing Behind the TitanTron back!!!
Rick makes me want to grow a mullet and a mustache
And have a chiseled physique
Do it.
He’s one of my favorites of all time💪🏻
Great verbal narration with appealing visual elements and solemn background sound all work together to give this video the feel of a documentary-style profile story as compared to the typical cliched cookie-cutter fare... This is your best segment yet...
Great character lots of laughs. RIP 2020!
He was my all time favorite. Just great!
Rude had the most aesthetic upper body of all time. Lugar had the best overall physique, but Rude was insanely ripped. Unbelievable how he could stay in that kind of shape with his travel schedule.
beautiful video and the best series on all of youtube in the wrestling genre
You do an amazing job with these videos.. If you made an hour long video of Bastion Booger, I would watch it and enjoy it, because they are put together so well. Keep up the awesome work! Look forward to more vids!!
Damn i JUST realized he died the same day that horrible Columbine Massacre happend..
That's why it really wasn't big news.
@Real World Warrior lowen lmfao. Get out of here with that conspiracy bullshit.
WorldTravelA320 To non wrestling fans it wasn't,but to wrestling fans at the time it was a very big deal and sad news.
RickyRichReact Rick rude dieing was really shocking, I always liked his character and wanted him to make one final run in the wwf at the height of the attitude era against the rock stone cold Steve austin ect even though I'm not sure if the wwf would have even taken him back had he not died and then a month later Owen hart has his fatal in the ring accident it was tough to be a wrestling fan around this time.
Pls make more videos of this i am huge fan of your content
Love The Intro, WrestleLamia!!
I’m happy to know that he was a Christian. That explains why he was so loyal to his friends and why he went out of his way to help people he didn’t know even when kayfabe was still a thing and he was a heel. Rest well my friend, the rest of us will continue for you and all those who came before us. GOD bless us all.
That doesn’t explain anything. Just in your head.
@@vancebacri5894 Shut up
@@flashfunk0373 Well said
Lol. Like non Christians aren't loyal to friends and help folk out... And Christians are... Lol like Peter... And judas... 2 well known Christians
One of the greatest technical wrestlers ever! I'll never forget that dropkick from the top rope he hit the Warrior with at WM5.
One of my dream matches Razor Ramon vs Rick Rude in WWF
Always great documentaries!
Good Work again !!!! Can wait for another épisode
One of the greatest heels of all time. RIP Ravishing Rick Rude
He really was great.
