Hogan's workout looks fierce. He was one big dude in the 80's.

Hard to pick who looks more ridiculous... I remember when the old man wore that baggy Zubaz-type shit. Quick trivia about this particular timeframe of Prime Time Wrestling:The studio audience consisted of WWF employees. Oftentimes, it would take several hours to film one episode, which was done at the end of a workday, by which time everyone was tired, but had to pretend to be interested in the show. No one was even permitted to get up to use the restrooms during filming! |

WTF? Random is okay, but at least make it wrestling-related... Post that Johnny Depp pirate faggotry again and I'll merge it with the "Sweet Chin Music" thread where it belongs! |

I always loved Schiavone screaming, "HOLY SMOKES!!! RICK RUDE?!" What an impact that made, still gives me chills watching Hogan try to keep his belt from slipping whilst hes signalling to look at entrance. Rude, even in a minimal capacity, was still a major player.

Yeah, Tony sucked hairy balls as an announcer - at least in wrestling - and I'll never understand how he worked as one for as long as he did. But, Rude was fantastic. His ring repertoire wasn't incredibly sophisticated, but he was a great worker in that he connected with the fans and kept their attention as well as an emotional hook. I don't know how much of the original ECW you've had the chance to see, GCD, but Rude's brief stint there was over VERY strong! |

I loved his initial reaction as a face, when he came down as a masked opponent for Douglas. Seeing him in that ring shows you just how big a man he really was, i recall him punking Douglas by telling him if he knew who he was he'd shit his pants of something along those lines. It was SO obvious who it was to the fans, Douglas sold it well.
He had a handful of manoeuvres but his ring presence was incredible, you knew you were seeing a genuine talent when he wrestled. His reign as US Champ in WCW was brilliant, i thought he'd have gotten the shot against Vader when Simmons was drawn out of the hat.
(on a side note: the closing commentary of that match is amongst the best i've ever heard, JR was on fire!)

Precisely! Right when Rick said, "It's a new year, Shane Douglas..." the place errupted. And you're right; for his part, Douglas put both Rude and the angle over BIG TIME. I always liked and respected Douglas - both his work and as a person. I remember being a trainee. Shane had no idea who the hell I was, but the fact that I was working backstage meant that I was somebody, and Douglas never treated me or anyone else like a jabroni...even though most of us were.  But, back to Rude: yes, tremendous presence. In fact, I've heard stories that when Rude took part in autograph signings, fans would be all over the place in true cluster-fukk-fashion at other tables...but, in Rude's line, everyone was orderly and behaved. |

He was put over Warrior for the IC title simply to enhance Jims own popularity, which was a disgrace (although Nash & Hall say he drew a ridiculous amount of $ and they liked him). Warrior won the title back and then went onto bigger & better things whilst Rude had to make the best of whatever he was assigned to do. He could very easily have been champion, he had the heat and he had the admiration in equal measure.
