It's honestly pathetic. They were paying Rude in cash at the end of each appearance. He didn't have a contract in place, and they never offered him one. Him appearing on TV every week as a central character to DX and not having a contract is the head of talent relations fault, which was Jim Ross. Do you honestly expect Rude to turn down a guaranteed fukking contract over a span of multiple years and keep getting paid in cash at the end of the night not knowing how long he'll be asked to come back instead? fukk JR, man. Rick Rude made him look like a clown that he was, and he is still salty over it to this day. I'm glad they finally put him in the HOF.

It seems like the more we find out about the REAL JR, Good Ol JR is anything but.
Only other person he prob hates more than Rude is Bart Gunn for knocking out Dr Death.
Don’t forget he was willing to throw his best friend Stone Cold under the bus on WWE television
You may have another plat thread concerning the real JR

I was like 
because I didn't know Raw was live one week and a taped episode aired the following week. I also still thought wrestling was real at the time.

Rude didn't leave over a contract dispute, he left because he was pissed about Montreal. He called Bischoff from the locker room that night looking for a job because after what he just saw go down with Bret, he wanted no part of the WWF anymore. Rude was old school and didn't like what happened one bit. The fact that he was only on a per-night deal is what allowed him to leave so quickly and show up on Nitro the following week. Mick Foley quit that night as well but was eventually talked into coming back.
JR is still a salty prick about it but I believe his beef stems from him claiming that he and Rude had a verbal or handshake agreement on a new long term contract then Montreal happened and Rude left for WCW, whether that's true or not, who knows. Rude did nothing wrong, it was just business.
Rude's appearance on both shows on the same night is definitely a memorable moment in the Monday night wars. It was another 'gotcha' type move from WCW who at the time was still kicking the shyt out of the WWF, sadly though, it was the only memorable thing Rude did during that whole run with WCW, IMO.
