Liam O'Rourke Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 The strongest argument I can make is that if Rude's weapon was really taken off, it'd probably be in the Smithsonian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members bAzTNM#1 Posted January 8, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted January 8, 2022 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.

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. 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members bAzTNM#1 Posted January 8, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted January 8, 2022 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RancidPunx Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 There is a recent episode of the Eric Bischoff podcast devoted to Rude that is worth a listen. Â Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted January 9, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted January 9, 2022 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Jazzy G Posted January 9, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted January 9, 2022 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
