Rude was one of the most hated heels ever, and it wasn't until I was grown that I could really appreciate what Rude was and done for wrestling. Rude was great without Bobby, but Heenan just took Rude even farther.
Rude was fantastic, but at the same time he was someone who did a variation of the same routine all the time. (kind of like Perfect) Heenen worked well with both, neither of whom needed managers at all, basically because he added more variety to the act.
@@gst013 100% agree. Really think Rude should have had a WWE Heel Title run in his feud against the Ultimate Warrior. Would have helped Warrior get over more as champion by having to chase Rude for a few months.
@@dubnificow9188 hahaha i said the exact same reply to a different video tht someone quoted this Rude line just a couple weeks ago.. Someone else even said " bars?" In response to me a couple days ago. Likely someone with no hip hop exposure.. Lol
@@lee.valley same with Curt Henning. Excluding the run of the UW with the IC Title, the IC champion was the better wrestler (and yes I include the HTM) during the Hogan years!
Right lol?! Jake Robert's DDT looked deadly as hell too! Old schoolers just knew how to sell the simplest moves and made them look SUPER devastating!!! I love and miss the old days of pro wrestling so bad! The true natural talents back in the day were absolutely EPIC!!
I totally agree! Ravishing Rick Rude checked off all of the boxes of what makes an excellent professional wrestler. He had the looks, the body, unreal mic skills, very diverse and flawless in ring wrestling ability and so on. Ravishing Rick Rude will always be one of my own personal favorite professional wrestlers of all time!
I liked the jobbers he would lay on after that move and pucker his lips to the camera. To my knowledge he never hurt anyone with that move. It was a great finisher. We went from that well executed move to crappy finishers like, shake-rattle-roll and the Attitude Adjustment or AA. Two of the best entertainers of all time had two of the worst finishers, Cena and Hogan. Cena with that AA and Hogan dropping that leg. The big boot off the ropes prior to the leg drop missed his opponent usually by about a foot too. LMAO. Use to say, "here comes the really fake looking part."
@@Lord_Bibulous best neckbreaker finish in the business for sure!! Thks for reminding me actually!! Nobody has still perfected a neckbreaker in that way
Rude was a awesome worker and was good at getting under the fans skin. Always enjoyed his work. It sucked when he hurt his back against Sting and had to retire.
He’s a big part of why people think of Warrior the way they do. Honky Tonk let Warrior squash him, then the Rude feud around the IC title, and wrestling fans believed a terrible wrestler with enough energy to run to the ring and nothing else managed to beat Hogan clean for 2 belts at mania.
Honestly, as a heel Rick Rude was about as good as you can get. His look, his promos, his in ring work. Legit tough guy who could bring monster heat. Just fucking great.
He's filled with gold! I used to dislike the hell outta Cornette in JCP when I was a teen but listening to him now just shows how great he was at his job!
@@coachmikesfilmroom3111 I'm a Cornette fan, but he's half a notch below them. Only half a notch, standing alongside Jesse Ventura. Heenan cut promos the way Cornette talks ABOUT wrestling. Cornette cuts a fantastic promo, but he's better as a commentator on wrestling, in documentary type settings. Hence why he shines on "Dark side of the ring" and the success of his podcast. He couldn't sing "Cult of personality" while in gimmick lol At the very top of the pyramid you have Heenan and Heyman... then everyone else. But that's my own bias.
Rude v Jake Roberts was the most 'real' feud in the WWF in the 80s. Just incredible and really, straight out of the NWA and really out of place at the time in the WWF.
I always thought they should put Rick Rude and Kurt Hennig together regularly and they could have been one of the best tag teams ever with Bobby as their manager.
There was a lot Vince could have done better. Hopefully HHH can change it back it's un watchable has been for years I stopped watching it after the Wyatt's split my roommate does not even watch it that's how bad it's gotten. And she's a Rollin fan.
Rude and Heenan together were magic regardless. It lent tons of extra cache to Rude’s character. Perfect didn’t “need” Heenan either, but that was still an awesome pairing as well. Same with Flair.
Bobby Heenan was just an added bonus.. Those 3 guys didn't need him to get over.. Usually when Managers get paired with Wrestlers they are meant to be the voice since the wrestler can't do convincing promos..
I never liked the “doesn’t need a manager” or “can talk for himself” attitude, Mr Perfect could talk but was even cooler with Heenan, Rude could talk but was better with Heenan, HTM could talk but was way better with Jimmy Hart
I do think Rude’s physically shallow gimmick was undercut by pairing him with Heenan. The idea was that Rude looked down on the common out of shape man. Ok, but that’s what Heenan was. Lol. That’s why the Heavenly Bodies (with Stunning Steve Austin) worked so well for Rude.
Rude was absolutely incredible. He was the personification of a real man, he inspired me to start training. He was incredible in the ring and an absolute legend, he left way to early 🙏
I remember Rick Rude in Charleston, West Virginia in the early nineties. He grabbed the mic and cut a promo about "fat welfare check hillbilly's". Still one of the best promos I've ever heard! Even though it pissed me off 😆
That's a great heel, tht can cut a promo thts so good tht u realize, damn thts a great heel promo and at the same time drawing enough heat tht he's STILL able to piss u off whn u know it's a work.. Lol
"Cut the music.. What I'd like to have now is for all you fat, ugly, inner city sweat hogs, keep the noise down while I take my robe off and show the ladies what a real sexy man looks like...hit the music." Funny stuff but that was his usual mic stuff. Enjoyed it nonetheless.
I disagree; Jimmy Hart was asked to (And did) get over FAR lesser talent than Bobby Heenan, and the majority of them were fairly green talent...I would put Hart's run in Memphis up against any manager...
@@stinkypinkeee5085 agree to disagree, Bobby's dry acerbic delivery vs Jimmy over the top hype man. Never a big Jimmy Hart fan. But I would never say Jimmy wasnt great
Rick Rude is one of the all time greats. Like Jim points out though, not winning the big one then didn't mean he was 'chopped liver'. Look at the star power of the 1992 rumble match alone. Amazing. And is there a better stable than The Heenan Family?
@@DC-tj8cr Rude in WCW with the dangerous alliance and medusa in his corner was gold. His short tweener run in 94 before the injury seemed like he was about to get over as a badass babyface.

@@lillagahnavich7700 Yeah, No beef or DISRESPECT 2 da new artist, But I don't know, Its kinda like "Less is more" Its like Travis was nxt 1.0 n da new guy is nxt 2.0. I find it 2 bright. I fink da old style fits Corny's ol skool attitude 2 wrestling betta.
My favorite wrestler and favorite commentator being talked about by my favorite manager and on screen talent. This is the most epic to me of all vids. It's my HOF edition
I think Rude could have def gotten his own heat, but Bobby did help accomplish that much quicker. Still loved watching Rude's career. Too bad he died so young. His shoots would have been so insightful and interesting.
Always thought it was a bit of a shame Rude felt Heenan was taking some of his heel heat by managing him. When Heenan in my view always worked to enhance every person he worked with. By bringing even more heat on them and on himself. Which I felt especially was the case with Perfect and Flair. These two were legends in their own right, spoke easily for themselves and had the crowd eating everything they did. But Heenan being with them in their runs, working with them brought even more to them. Made them even better heels and they clearly loved working with him, especially Curt with him and Heenan bouncing off one another all the time on Prime Time and promos. Look at Perfects face turn on Prime Time before SS 92, the two pulled off that turn within 30 minutes and at the last minute like it was the most natural thing.
Rude had such a good mind for the business, it's a shame that he didn't see the value in Heenan boosting his profile even more. If Ric Flair of all people saw the value in Heenan, then I'm surprised Rude couldn't. A manager isn't always there because you need them, but because they can boost you even higher than you could go by yourself. CM Punk to his credit saw that Paul Heyman would make his run even better (which it did), but did CM Punk need Heyman, of course not
Rick flair told stone cold ultimate warrior did an interview and said rude didn't deserve to be a champion and Rick Rude caught him the kitchen of one of the venues and knocked him out so he was legit
I miss the MS Paint thumbnail art for the clips, Vince with lipstick, bug eyed tony kahn, and etc. these new ones are too artsy or realistic. Oh well, they are all more talented than me.
Rude absolutely would have been WCW champion had he not got hurt. They gave him the International World title more than once, beating Flair for it for his first run, which showed they had plans for him.
Kathy Lee REALLY wanted to f#ck Rick. Regis admitted that later that the only reason she didnt was that Frank Gifford would have found out and then died trying to beat up Rude. Too bad Rude didnt meet Nicole Simpson and hose her instead. Orenthal would be the dead guy when he went after Rick.
Listening to Stone Cold tell old Rude stories is awesome. Rude would be in the back of the car smoking joints, but would chew Austin's ass for saying "God damnit." "Steve, will you quit using the lord's name in vein, for fuck's sake!?!" I think is how he tells it 🤣
For all of those with no reference point or understanding of how wrestling worked, the belt went on the top draws or occasionally on young potential top draws (Flair's first run, Tommy Rich, Kerry VonErich). There was no concept of "the guy is really good and deserves a run". That is a concept born from internet message boards and Booker T and Benoit were the kings of "they deserve it".
Rick wanted percy Pringle aka Paul bearer with him but Paul wasn’t burnt out on working with rude. Paul even said working with rick was great but after the show rick would go to the bars with the boys and look to pick fights. Rude enjoyed sending his current girlfriend around the bar to flirt with guys and then get into fights. Paul said he couldn’t handle that for the time.
Rude got the Intercontinental Title for Six Months, that belt was the number three belt in all of Wrestling in 1989 after the WWF Title (number 1) and the NWA Title (Number 2)
Have been on the fence on the new artwork style. This one is by a country mile my favorite artwork for a segment. Corny on the tights is genius. Well done, guys!
Rick Rude was amazing from the jump. He got better with Heenan. Rude's promo game went to 400% with Heenan bouncing off him especially the feud with Piper.
lol the promo Rude cut on Piper about coming in his house, punching his dog, and having his old lady cooking him a T bone Medium well. Rude was flawless on the mic.
Rick Rude was a great heel and always had crazy colorful tights. Pretty much every heel had a manager then and they had some great heel managers in Heenan, Jimmy Hart, Slick, Mr Fuji, Sherri
This is like when Shawn didn't want to be managed by Sherri. Yes, a lot of talents are totally capable of getting themselves over, but a top-notch manager can take you straight to the moon.
Rick needed a valet like when he had Angel in Memphis. They could’ve done a program with Savage and Liz and it would’ve been money. He never got along with Heenan in real life and vice versa. They were a bad fit. He was a better fit with Percy Pringle ( Paul Bearer) but Percy didn’t want to uproot his kids in Dallas to leave for JCP. They were great together and got along well off screen.
I remember reading an Amazon review about Heenan’s book which mentioned to the effect that Heenan thought Rick Rude was out for himself, that he wasn’t a team player.
I remember in 2nd grade class one time where I and another boy were doing the rude hip swivel in front of some girls in class. The teacher didn't catch me doing it but caught the other boy and fussed at him and the class was laughing.
I hated Rick Rude as a kid at first but my dad would always do impressions of him so I ended up liking him a lot. Rude was the only “heel” I liked as kid though

Yes. Graham said that he soon realized that they complimented each other well and the pairing actually enhanced his character.
Thumbnail is hilarious 😂😂
Rick Rude's tights😂😂
Bobby and Rick on Arsenio with Rick unveiling the tights with Arsenio's face and then Rick saying "let's get busy!" was absolutely tremendous!
Always loved Rick Rudes in ring Promos.
For all of those with no reference point or understanding of how wrestling worked, the belt went on the top draws or occasionally on young potential top draws (Flair's first run, Tommy Rich, Kerry VonErich). There was no concept of "the guy is really good and deserves a run". That is a concept born from internet message boards and Booker T and Benoit were the kings of "they deserve it".
Love Rick rude!!! Rick rude, mr wonderful, million dollar man, we’re some of my favorite most entertaining heals… they could talk like stone cold too.
I can’t get that image of someone in the business walking out then the crowd sees a Jim Cornette face on their wrestling tights.
Rude was the 1st WCCW champ after they left the NWA. Unfortunately for them he didn't stay long
The artwork is stellar.
How dare you guys forget about Sgt. Slaughter being champ during Rude’s WWF run?!?
I'm a simple man; I hear Stephen P New, I upvote.
We need more Mantaur stories!
Rood in Vancouver was painful on the stick. It was dramatic how he improved.
Rick wanted percy Pringle aka Paul bearer with him but Paul wasn’t burnt out on working with rude. Paul even said working with rick was great but after the show rick would go to the bars with the boys and look to pick fights. Rude enjoyed sending his current girlfriend around the bar to flirt with guys and then get into fights. Paul said he couldn’t handle that for the time.
The guy who does drawing art work deserves a medal his a legend keep up the art work 😁👌👍👍👍
Rude was def NOT a ham and egger and never tried to jump through a barbershop window in order to escape.
Rude got the Intercontinental Title for Six Months, that belt was the number three belt in all of Wrestling in 1989 after the WWF Title (number 1) and the NWA Title (Number 2)
Curt's childhood friend Rick Rude! I wouldn't mess with them
All them boys from Minnesota back then were no one to be messing with.
Cornette's gotta sell some autographed copies of artwork like this
This artwork is really funny lol
Have been on the fence on the new artwork style. This one is by a country mile my favorite artwork for a segment. Corny on the tights is genius. Well done, guys!
Rick Rude, Randy Orton great bodies, decent promo work and great heel heat. Rude should have won the big belt at least once.
Absolutely love the artwork. Stunning
The Cornette face spray painted on Rude's trunks like Jake Roberts wife is genius and hilarious!!!! 😂
I always loved watching the Rick Rude vs Sting matches in WCW when I was a kid.
This artwork for this topic is golden.
Different style on the art work this week. But still absolutely awesome.
Excellent art work
Rude really didn't need him.. Bobby was just an added bonus..
Dang that thumbnail 🤣
Your artwork just keeps getting BETTER AND BETTER!
One reason why Rick Rude didn’t win the WWF Championship: Hulk Hogan.
"That doesn't work for me brother."
We think its ridiculous cause everyone geta a title these days. Wrestling didnt have so many title changes as in the last few decades
When Brett was tagged and macho man back up and had a little standoff the crowd popped for it
Wow this art... that's just gold right there.
Undertaker and slaughter were champion too
Rick Rude was amazing from the jump. He got better with Heenan.
Rude's promo game went to 400% with Heenan bouncing off him especially the feud with Piper.
lol the promo Rude cut on Piper about coming in his house, punching his dog, and having his old lady cooking him a T bone Medium well. Rude was flawless on the mic.
Rick Rude was a great heel and always had crazy colorful tights. Pretty much every heel had a manager then and they had some great heel managers in Heenan, Jimmy Hart, Slick, Mr Fuji, Sherri
Genius artwork
I am stealing the hell out of the line "dryer than a nun's twat."
This is like when Shawn didn't want to be managed by Sherri. Yes, a lot of talents are totally capable of getting themselves over, but a top-notch manager can take you straight to the moon.
Paul Heyman didn’t take Cesaro anywhere!
@@butt5ful well everyone can't be saved. cesaro has the charisma of a dried turnip, no one could get him over
Rick needed a valet like when he had Angel in Memphis. They could’ve done a program with Savage and Liz and it would’ve been money. He never got along with Heenan in real life and vice versa. They were a bad fit. He was a better fit with Percy Pringle ( Paul Bearer) but Percy didn’t want to uproot his kids in Dallas to leave for JCP. They were great together and got along well off screen.
I remember reading an Amazon review about Heenan’s book which mentioned to the effect that Heenan thought Rick Rude was out for himself, that he wasn’t a team player.
Liz wasn’t in Memphis
Oddly enough, Rude was the one who recommended Percy/Bearer to Vince in 1990.
You wouldn't know they didn't get along because their chemistry together was so good.
They liked each other but rude didn't want heenan stealing his heat
My mom and my aunts (like most ladies) would tackle my cousins and I when Rick Rude came on tv. 😂😂😂
I remember in 2nd grade class one time where I and another boy were doing the rude hip swivel in front of some girls in class. The teacher didn't catch me doing it but caught the other boy and fussed at him and the class was laughing.
@@kennylanqua6512 if you didnt get in trouble doing the rick rude hip swing you weren't a true 80's/90's wrestling fan! 😂
This is the best guest artist so far.
Heenan is a legend.
Big props to the artwork!!!
I hated Rick Rude as a kid at first but my dad would always do impressions of him so I ended up liking him a lot. Rude was the only “heel” I liked as kid though
