ieatcrayonz Posted January 22, 2007 Posted January 22, 2007 Yeah, doesn't do much for me, either....Orton sometimes shows flashes of being a throwback, perhaps because of his lineage, but Cena is nauseating to me. When I read about Bam Bam passing away the other day, for some reason I started thinking about Rick Rude (since he also passed away somewhat recently). I think this was one of the more underrated wrestlers, even though he had a fair bit of success in the ring. I used to read about him when he was in World Class Wrestling, and then I became a fan when he hit WCW (he and Manny Fernandez were a badass tag team) and then WWE. All the guy ever needed was a micrphone to get the crowd all riled up before a match, and he always put on a good show. I still keep tabs on what's going on in the WWE, but it'll never compare to how it used to be. I don't watch much wrestling anymore either but Mr. Wonderful Paul Orton was my absolute favorite. His kid Randy isn't even close.

A lot of "wrestling experts" (try not to laugh at that term) say Rick Rude was the only guy who ever got a decent match out of the Ultimate Warrior. I've watched some old clips of the Warrior and God, he really sucked; not sure how he was a Face for so long.

I'd rather see Rude do his 'insult the males in the crowd and hit on their women' bit anyday. That reminds me, didn't Curt Henning pass away recently, too? He was another one of my favorites.
apuszczalowski Posted January 24, 2007 Posted January 24, 2007 I don't remember exactly how recent it was, but yes Mr. Perfect is no longer alive
