Bruce Prichard shoots on The Ultimate Warrior vs Rick Rude 

Warrior knocked the hell out of him Rick didn't like him

Michael Allan Rubin Rude knocked the hell out of Warrior in the locker room when he got careless one time too many.

@@kelman727 Not True ! Listen to Ax & Smash

@@derekgaliee4351 . There are countless videos on RU-vid including from Barry Darsow ( Smash from Demolition), along with The Warlord, Jake the Snake, Dutch Mantel, Ted Dibiase, and Greg Valentine have all said that Rick Rude beat the brakes off Warrior to the point Warrior was on the floor in the fetal position. You obviously are to young or dumb to know but Rick Rude was the biggest real life bad ass in the wrestling community at that time.along with Haku. He was a US National Champion arm wrestler before he started wrestling. He also worked as a bouncer at the world famous outlaw biker bar Grandma Beas in Minneapolis along with Animal from Legion of Doom/ The Road Warriors, Barry Darsow who was Smash from Demolition, and John Nord who was The Berserker. Animal, Rude, and Curt Henning all went to High School together and we're friends. Animal and Smash have told the story about one night a bunch of 1%er outlaw bikers came into the bar looking to fight and destroy the place, Animal said he and Smash along with The Berserker immediately tried to find Rick Rude so the 4 of them were together to confront the bikers when they heard men screaming like women. Turns out Rick Rude was fighting 5 of the bikers by himself and within about 2 minutes had 4 of them knocked out cold on the ground and the other guy crying on the ground. That biker that didn't pass out got hit in the face 3 times by Rick and suffered a broken jaw with 6 missing teeth, a broken nose which quickly caused 2 black eyes, a broken orbital bone near his right eye, and had to go to the hospital in an ambulance due to Rick hitting him so hard his brain bruised and swelled. The cops came to question Rick and everyone else because the cops said no one could cause that much damage with their fists and thought he had used a lead or metal pipe, a Billy club, or even a baseball bat. It's confirmed Warrior got stupid and Rick Rude made him pay.. Rude also knocked Brutus the Barber Beefcake out backstage in a fight. Stone Cold travelled with Rick in the early to mid 90s in WCW and Steve called Rick Rude the biggest badass in the business. Diesel said he would never fight him. The thing is he was known as a great guy that would help anyone...But if you crossed him you were going to lose the fight. Educate yourself. There are tons of videos on RU-vid from people that were actually there when it happened. Warrior got his ass kicked...Deal with it.

Unfortunately Hennig barely had a career from ‘91 onwards and was never fit enough to carry a major belt. If I could book retrospectively, I’d have given him the win at RR 93 and made his KOTR 93 match with Bret the main event at WMIX.

@@EOTA564 Yeah, ideally, late '89 or early '90 would be good. But looking at a quick swap, I'd have swapped out Slaughter.

Thing is, I doubt Vince would have given a guy like Hennig the strap before the steroid scandal. 92-93 would have bee the perfect time for him to transition into the main event scene. Hell, he was already involved in an angle with Flair so this would more or less write itself. Turn around my previous scenario; Hennig wins the Belt from Flair after SS92 and defends at RR. Hart wins RR and then goes on to beat Hennig at WM. The main issue was this that the injuries had killed his momentum whereas Bret was hot after his match with Bulldog at Wembley.

@@Halbared swap out slaughter?!? During the Iraq war? That story line of Slaughter turning on America was way bigger than anything Hennig would have been a part of. That is crazy talk

Correction: Ted DiBiase bought the title.

@@douglasjarnagan3835 he bought it from Andre after Andre beat Hogan.

@@adamrenfrow You ever see the match? Ref called the match after a 2 count and awarded the belt to Andre because he was bought off. Then again, it's just professional wrestling.

@Greg Bailey You should check out his time in ECW. It's probably the only time Rude was ever a face and he was super over with the crowd. Of course, he's a natural heel though, one of the best to ever do it.

Before he retired he was booked as a babyface to wrestle Vader at Slamboree 1994.

I certainly contributed, or more specifically, contributed my parents dimes when I was a youngster.

What???? Warrior didn't attack Rude Rude Confronted him about stuff hit in the locker room & punched him in the arm. Telling him to slow down . Both worked together in WCCW Wrestling before WWF

@@derekgaliee4351Rude didn’t punch Warrior in the arm. Rude punched Warrior in the face knocking him down lol.. Warrior was almost unconscious from that punch.

@@Borincano_Cubano according to Who Lying Ric Flair ???

That's why Rude beat the fuck out of him in the locker room.

No, He beat the fuck out of him for talking smack in the locker room about him, And some promo he cut

See?

Lol

At THAT specific point? No. At SOME point should he have held it? Abso-fucking-lutely.

@@jediknightgeo I don't agree. WWF was always about having a dominant babyface as their top guy, so for that alone I don't see why they should have given it to Rude. Savage, Dibiase and Perfect were far more deserving and far more qualified for a run than Rude was, as far as heels are concerned. In the mid to late 80's Rude was never treated as a main-event player for a reason, he was the perfect heel to elevate a midcard championship. Jim Crockett Promotions used him to elevate the tag team titles and he was never in the NWA World title picture, so WWF had no reason to put the belt on him over a strong babyface or top heels like Dibiase and Hennig.

@@jonathanturbide2232 Again, at SOME point he definitely could and should have held the World Title. He was a great worker, but at that time there was so much talent and of course not everyone is going to hold the top spot due to many different circumstances, but it wasn't based on the fact that Rude did deserve it or couldn't do it. When he went to WCW it was a completely different story.

He did kick his ass backstage! Knocked him out!

@@jasonnicks819 Allegedly

@@stoneroses1989 He absolutely fucked Warrior up and it sent a message to the entire rasslin industry.

Literally, aids with gonorrhea......and a touch of the Herp.
