So, Rick Rude's cock then ...

[IANdrewDiceClay]

There's a penis there if you ask me. Oh and happy 63rd birthday Rick.

The strongest argument I can make is that if Rude's weapon was really taken off, it'd probably be in the Smithsonian.

Seen as this is the most recent Rick Ride thread going, Do you think Rick Rude *really* needed Bobby Heenan? It would have been interesting to see what would have happened if he stuck around the WWF in 1990, but then we wouldn't have had him in WCW in 1992.

Would never have won the intercontinental title without the Brain holding the leg, so yes he did

I bet the Warrior loved doing the honours there.

He absolutely did. I know Rude was a tough lad who could cut a promo, but having Heenan gave you some credibility, or a potential launch pad. Rude seems to drastically improve over 87-89 and I reckon having Heenan around helped Rude more than he was willing to admit. They also had great chemistry. It's weird and a bit of a shame Rude always felt Heenan was taking his heat. He absolutely wasn't and it always felt more like a double act of absolute arseholes. 

Rude after 1990. The only idea I could muster was he eventually himself has a split with The Heenan Family. He'd be a great opponent for Mr. Perfect at Wrestlemania VII if you sacked off the Boss Man's mum stuff and did it another time perhaps. He wasn't going for the title again.

I think they were teasing a turn at Summerslam 1990 when Rude launches himself from the top of the cage onto the Warrior and Heenan goes nuts.

There is a recent episode of the Eric Bischoff podcast devoted to Rude that is worth a listen.

I think Rude was the type of wrestler who always benefitted from having a manager. And I’m not really sure why because he could talk for himself, had charisma, looked great so wasn’t exactly like he needed the extra spice. But Rude with a manager was always better than Rude without a manager. From Percy Pringle in Texas to Bobby Heenan in the WWF to Paul E and Madusa in WCW. We saw Rude on his own in WCW in 1993 after Heyman and Madusa left and it wasn’t the same. The overall package lacked something (we’re back on Rude’s cock there) for me.

Him and Heenan were great together though. Just pure sleaze.

It's that extra bit of heat isn't it? You know he's entirely capable of winning the match on his own, but he has somebody there just to make things a bit easier for him. Heenan just made anybody feel like more of a bastard anyway because of how good he was.

Pretty much that, but also from the talking perspective too, I think. Like Heenan was there to convey his words to the lowly mortals so that he wouldn't sully himself addressing the great unwashed if he didn't see fit.

It's official. He had a cock when he died. Although it had more scabs than the miners strike.

Just like Rick Rude's penis, I never expected this thread to rise again.

Unremarkable anus.

[wandshogun09]

“Abdomen is flat and no masses are palpable” is a strange way of saying “his body’s chiselled, abs all in a row, you’d think he was sculpted by Michelangelo”.
