Rick Rude's run in early-90's WCW was pure piff. I was really hoping he'd be able to come back from the back injury

Bret Hart praised Rick Rude in his book for being the kind of dude who never took his wedding ring off because he was so devoted to his wife. He'd just put tape over it before a match.

I hated rude as a kid all the way to my teens..but hate in the way he did his gimmick so well that he was an unlikeable mufukka...I fukked with his ring work and finisher...he is an all time great
