Paid Members tiger_rick Posted October 28, 2016 Author Paid Members Share Posted October 28, 2016 I know DX happened almost immediately as he came in, and Shawn was batshit about everything then anyway, but I think I would have liked to have seen more of Rude as HBK's hard-nut insurance policy. Â He was just another run-in buddy with HHH and Chyna but ignoring those two and strictly imagining them as a pairing offers up yet another fresh and potentially interesting person to pair with Shawn after Sherri, Diesel, Sid and Lothario. I'd have enjoyed seeing that play out. Rude was aesthetically over the hill, but yet it was still apparent he'd kick the fuck out of you for a sideways look. If anything, the formation of (and his involvement in) DX cut the legs of that character almost instantly. I never really thought about it at the time beyond wondering where Rude had been - I was only just discovering PowerSlam. I do love the bit on the SCG timeline though where they read Meltzer's story about HBK throwing a hissy fit because he wants HHH to be his bodyguard and not Rude. I think it's Chase pipes up "Wait, he wants the guy to be his bodyguard who has a woman guarding him!" Â It's a pity so little came of Rude. When he jumped to WCW, he did one promo bashing the WWF and they had fuck all for him. Then his cock fell off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otto Dem Wanz Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 He should have worn the snazzy Gyles Brandreth jumpers he wore in ECW. You've got to be hard to wear those woolens. Â This is an outstanding reference and validates my decision to spend time on here every day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 It's a pity so little came of Rude. When he jumped to WCW, he did one promo bashing the WWF and they had fuck all for him. Then his cock fell off I don't know if he borrowed it from a film or something, but one of my favourite lines in a wrestling promo is Rude joining the nWo and warning a recently beaten-down icon, "The second verse will be the same as the first, but a whole lot nastier and a whole lot worse. Because this time, Sting, I will partake." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members chokeout Posted October 28, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted October 28, 2016 (edited) It's a play on the lyrics to an old folk song. I think its the same song that uses the 'second verse, same as the first' which is quoted a lot more. Â Its a cracking line.

Merzbow Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Honky Tonk told a story where Rude injected his cock with Viagra and it fell off/was cut off due to infection, then he killed himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members mim731 Posted October 28, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted October 28, 2016 (edited) Honky Tonk told a story where Rude injected his cock with Viagra and it fell off/was cut off due to infection, then he killed himself.  It seems like he is the only person who tells that story, and all the other accounts of Rude's death seem to go with the 'was bulking up on roids to make a return and his heart gave out' theory.  Also, HTM claims Rude was doing that so the two of them could go off with two ladies, but every other account of Rude seems to paint him as a devoted husband who wouldn't even take his wedding ring off during matches, he taped his finger instead. So something about Honky Tonk's story doesn't track for me.  I also can't imagine those two hanging out, as it seems more likely Rude would smash his face in for being an annoying prick just as quick as look at him, but who knows.

Merzbow Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Oh, I don't believe Honky for a fucking millisecond. The guy's a peice of shit that'll make up any old bollocks to get himself a quid or two, no matter how it affects anyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members chokeout Posted October 28, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted October 28, 2016 Jake The Snake used to tell the same story. I'm calling bullshit on it. Wrestlers live in this crazy world where there's so much bullshit flying around that it eventually becomes the truth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The King of Old School Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 I really don't like Tye Dillinger, his entrance is stupid, what the fuck is that little jig he does when he gets in the ring? Also his face, really, really punchable. Â How is he the face in this Roode fued? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can't make faces likable, anybody they try to make a baby seems to get booed and too many of the heels, likable or not, get cheered and play up to get those cheers.

Paid Members Your Fight Site Posted October 28, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted October 28, 2016  I really don't like Tye Dillinger, his entrance is stupid, what the fuck is that little jig he does when he gets in the ring? Also his face, really, really punchable.  How is he the face in this Roode fued? The whole things fucked these days. They can't make faces likable, anybody they try to make a baby seems to get booed and too many of the heels, likable or not, get cheered and play up to get those cheers.  It seems to be a cultural shift that WWE hasn’t kept up with (which is ironic giving how much they try to shoehorn pop culture into their product to try and remain relevant).  In every other form of entertainment, “bad” guys are loved just because they’re characters. Walter White from Breaking Bad. Acted reprehensible but people love him. Same with the Joker and Deadpool. Even Conor McGregor: acts a bell-end but people lap it up.  The good guy vs. bad guy dynamic that faces and heels are based on is just becoming dated. People are too intelligent and aware to be “guided” on who to cheer and who to boo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
