Rick Rude

The Nasty Boys go up against the World Tag Team Champions, Arn Anderson and Paul Roma, The Horsemen.

Nature Boy Ric Flair puts his World Heavyweight Title on the line with Ravishing Rick Rude.

But the most explosive match in wrestling history will finish it off.

It's War Games.

In this War Games event, we have seen two titles change here at Fall Brawl.

New World Television Champion, Lord Steven Regal.

Hey, how you doing? And new World Tag Team Champions, The Nasty Boys, and we still have the world title on the line between Ric Flair and Ravishing Rick Rude.

It all started between these two on a set of a Flair for the Gold when Ravishing Rick Rude-

like no one has a bad thing to say about him.

I think the only person who had anything bad to say about him was Rick Rude because he basically ended his career with a spot that he told not to do.

That right.

It was an accident.

Hercules defeated Scott Casey.

Rick Rude defeated Davey Boy Smith.

Ted DiBiase defeated a British Beefcake.

Paul Orndorff defeated King Kong Bundy by DQ.

So his last match was on the 3rd of August teaming with Bulldog against Demolition in Winnipeg.

His next match isn't until the 5th of October.

uh no it's yeah so the 6th of October which then doesn't air until the 24th of October 1987 so he's off the Bulldogs are off television for a fucking long time they're on Madison Square Garden Network in July but they're not on television so they're on television on the 13th of June and then they don't come back on television until they're off television for like that is a lot of time they're on the house shows obviously but yeah television wise good lord that's a long time and that is that and then we go to television this week so on the 12th we've got Superstars Bam Bam Bigelow defeats Nikolai Volkov Coco Beware and the Rougeos defeat Billy Anderson Leroy Maloon and Rudy Ryder Rick Rude defeated Jane Monty The Honky Tonk Man defeated Steve Gator Wolf, Butch Reed defeated Stevie Affie, and Strikeforce defeated The Shadows.

For some reason, Rick Rude comes to the ring with Andrew the Giant, Bobby Heenan, Hercules, King Harley Race, and King Kong Bundy.

Ladies

and gentlemen, the next United States Heavyweight Champion, Ravishing Greg Brown!

There's nothing in my dreams, just some ugly memories.

Kiss me like the ocean breeze.

Number three is Rick Steiner.

Number two is Sting.

And number one is Rick Rude.

So before we move on, any comments on the top ten? I'll go to you first, Sousa.

Yeah, you have grifter podcasters like a JD from New York screaming about the mid-card saying, why isn't this one getting a world title push or why isn't this one in a main event? But then

again, people love guys like Rick Rude, Mr.

Perfect, even in the attitude area, guys like D'Lo Brown.

Takemi Chinoku, these are people who maybe did not get the biggest shine, but they were part of the program that you wanted to see.

Right, but you talk

about these guys with such reverence that you can say in retrospect, yeah, you know what, a guy like Rick Rude should have been world champion.

Yeah.

But yeah, no, when you yell and you scream about it, you make the words seem dirty.

The greatest.

So Rick Rude's giving

him the opponents to train him to make him...

A well-rounded champ, I guess.

Yeah, horrible.

Yeah, it is.

Franchise versus Rick Rude's Surprise Challenger.

And for the ECW World TV title, Taz.

Beyond it, it's like he's not going to do like Nick Saban, which is just like ignore it when he walks into, you know, Tiger Stadium and whatever.

He's going to do the frigging, yeah, like I'm ravishing Rick Rude or something.

You know what I

mean? Touchdown and
