As for Rude being over today... The basic gimmick of a dude with a great physique saying he could take your girl would get over, but the hip gyrating and mustache would make it some cheesy sh1t that people wouldn't really get mad at. It'd have to be updated some.

I don't deal with hypotheticals, only reality and in reality, Rude isn't in the Freebirds class.

Who is more well known to people who stopped watching wrestling in the 90s? Unless you were in OK or Texas, you didn't know about the Freebirds beyond the extra shytty version in early WCW that were a dorky mid card tag team. People remember Rick Rude even if they grew out of wrestling 20+ years ago.

Back then as a kid, you had no cognitive register of what that meant.
My parents were revolutinary's and taught that type of stuff to me.
Other kids who were black without revolutionary parents.
all played and had a general lee and bo and Luke duke at the very least.
I was never allowed to have a general lee or any of that and i had to go to a friends house.
to watch wrasslin and dukes of hazard.
Wrasslin was banned in my household as soon as hogun infuriated and insulted the adult contingent of fans with snme.
Which then became an edgy late hour kid watch after primetime.
As originally hogun was featured more on snme than on Saturday morning superstars then.
Which eventually made adults have to give up their love of hogun to kids and soon phoney became synomous with hogun.
once the adults and teens started to pinpoint the low quality as a real science to wwf and hogun at the time.

The reason why when I became a smart was to actually understand the business and draw for why these things were the way they were.
Which harkens back to being a kid and wondering why mu revolutionary father and moms would not tolerate this type of stuff in the household.
As moms and pops are directly that Gen that benefitted from the civil rights movement in real time.
With my mom at Grumman and my dad in computer technology and eventually working at Northup who made the stealth bomber.


If you were not cognitive back then,...
You really not adept enough to comment.

That don't matter. His mic ability was 100% legit...and that's the #1 factor in getting over after Rock revolutionized pro wrestling in 99.

Yeah, so we talking about a kid who is six years old, and sneaking to watch a tv show now.
Or are you an actual adult with some semblance of cognitive register.
As racism is learned you lame ass nikka and you learned c00n or the mj shyt you dumbass,...

Kids don't know what the fukk racism is,...
If you actually could get a woman to let you fukk raw.
Then, maybe you would be cognitive about more.
You have to teach black children about the dangers of racism and it is the hardest thing to explain to any kid along with other varying degrees of issues that plague the us.
When you have to explain to a three year old what racism is so they get it,..then you can talk.
Till then, stfu or catch a table you stoopid motherfukker.

I don't remember Michael Hayes being some great worker. He talked and Gordy was the worker so I don't understand where Flair is coming from. If he's speaking from his own personal experiences working with Rude, he's entitled to his opinion.

You could present Rick Rude EXACTLY how he was in the late 80's right now with no revisions and drop him in any current organization. .. he'd be one of if not the hottest heel in your company

in 2016. That says something.

The Freebird Von Erich feud has stood the test of time and is still very much watchable but the Freebird gimmick and presentation would not work outside of the early 80's and in the southern territories IMO.

Rude would've rocked the heel beard he had in his early DX run. As for the hip gyrating, that shyt will always be wavy. Big E is doing it today, and we're even seeing it happen in the NFL.

Imagine Rude coming out on RAW with Lana's face on his tights :russ:
