TSC Evaluation #21: Rick Rude

[hazardous]

Mic work - 9. Great on the mic. Knew how to rile a crowd up.

Personality - 10. A classic gimmick. There's been many duplicates, but Rude will always be the original innovator. He started off as sleazy, then became more serious as the gimmick went on.

Ring work - 9. Unlike DiBiase, Rude's work does hold up, and it makes you appreciate it more. Matches with Warrior, Steamboat & Sting were all great.

Watch as Sting has to extend to try to make contact with Rude who was further away than he thought, Rude adjusted to catch Sting but in doing so in that split second he put himself in a dangerous landing spot. shyt sucked all the way around blame wise



Rude really could've worked into his mid to late 40's

we missed out on some potential piff matches
