Mid-Card Championship Winner
If this has been done before I apologise, but reading through posts today I saw multiple Rick Rude mentions and it got me thinking, in two decade long career with stints in at least three major wrestling companies, what do fans think was his greatest moment/feud ?
I didnt follow Rude very much in Texas, for me my favorite Rude moment was his tag team with Manny Fernanez and their run as NWA Tag Team Champs. They had some phenomenal matches in their feud with Rock & Roll Express, every bit as good as R&R vs Midnight Express, maybe better. His "Ravishing" personna was really developed and cultivated here, a gimmick that was only tweaked a bit when he arrived in WWE.
Though that was my favorite Rude moment, there were many other notable ones in a long career, being the 1st guy to pin Ultimate Warrior, winning the IC title in the process, turning evil Jake Roberts into a good guy in the feud over his wife Cheryl (remember when Rude put her face on his ring outfit?), a great feud vs Sting in his WCW return, battling Ricky Steamboat, and lets not forget he was the 1st wrestler to appear on both Raw & Nitro on the same night, one of the great "screw you" moves WCW ever pulled on WWE during the Monday Night Wars. So lets hear it, the best of Rick Rude...
