No matter how much he played up the heel angle, no matter how many insults he hurled at the audience, and no matter how much you hated him, you absolutely had to respect how much talent and ability he brought to the ring. One of the best, in my opinion.

I met Rick Rude at a Tri-state show in Philadelphia along with Dory Funk Jr. and Jerry Lawler. My friends car battery died and we were looking for a payphone to call AAA. Rick said don't worry about it and drove us to our car and gave us a jump start. Real classy guy definitely not like his character! RIP Rick.

"What I'm gonna need now is for all you overweight ,out of shape inner city sweathogs to pipe down so the ladies can get what they came to see HIT THE MUISC " Classic Rude R.I.P

Both Rick Rude & Curt Hennig were two of the best heels in the WWF. RIP

That man should have been WWF champion. A true badass. Rest in Power, Rick!

My favorite line from Rick Rude while doing commentary on ECW TV was “Francine can’t wrestle a lick, but you should see her box!” RIP to one of the all-time greats.

Rude Was to me the greatest Heel in the 80's I was a HUGE Ultimate Warrior fan and Rude made him look like a million bucks in every match!! Rude your truly missed I hope you and Warrior are having one he'll of a match upstairs with Heenan in your corner..

He had it all. The physique, the agility, the mic work, and was hell of a worker and a tough SOB apparently too. If he hadn't died and actually made his comeback to wrestling I have no doubt he'd have a huge career renaissance like Shawn Michaels did. RIP Ravishing Rick Rude

All you need to know is when Steve Austin called Rick a man's man! That says everything... RR was well respected by the boys.

It's absolutely criminal that guys like Rick Rude, Curt Hennig, Scott Hall, Ted Dibiase, Paul Orndorff and Roddy Piper never ever held the WWF title.

Stone Cold's story about Rick Rude telling him to stop cussing while smoking weed in the backseat always makes me laugh

The night of the Montreal Screwjob, after the match Rude stayed with Bret in his locker room. Stayed Loyal to his Homie till the end. Rick was a real one!

"Franciene can't wrestle a lick, but you should see her Box" -Ravishing Rick Rude.

My favorite wrestler of all time! He had it all... looks, attitude, strength and skill. If he's not your favorite wrestler, you have to admit he's one of your favorite heels.

Considering his friendship with Bret, If he were alive today, I'd ask Rude how much he didn't get along with Shawn Michaels and how difficult it was to associate with DX.

the one guy i wanted to see the most today has a manager or figure of some kind, too bad he passed away. Curt Henning last days? sign me up!

Hard to believe it’s been 20 years since Rick Rude passed. Now he was one underrated wrestler. He was like the Val Venis of the 80’s.

Died at 40? Damn!! I first saw him when I was probably 6, I'm 42 now, and I literally thought he was bulletproof, bigger than life, super human even. Rest well Rude One.

All the "Behind the Titantrons" have been good. This is easily one of the best. Forgot how much I missed this guy.

I met rick when I was 9 years old. I have pictures with him. He was very nice.

Rick Rude was in hindsight probably one of the greatest heels in wrestling. I could not stand him as a kid and hated him, always wanting him to win and his arrogance always wound me up. A great heel

WWF in the 80's and early 90's was really something special and Ravishing Rick Rude was a big part of that. It's so crazy to me that the last time he wrestled was in 1994 and that he's been gone for so long now. Memories...another great piece here. Peace

I was always a fan of Rick Rude. His son had also passed as well. This is sad. May they both RIP. 🙏

Behind the Titantron is the 30 for 30 for us wrestling fans. This is the best documentary, period. Thank you, Wrestlelamia, for doing this.

RIP to the Ravishing One ! One of the best heels and from the stories I’ve heard a true tough as nails guy

I grew up in the golden era of wrestling & there will never be another era or characters like it :/ I haven’t watched any wrestling since the mid-90s. RIP Ravishing Rick Rude!!!

You deserve every penny you make for this series. Very well done, your work is very much appreciated.

The best pro wrestling series on YT. Congratulations, Wrestlelamia 😀🤗

Rude was awesome I remember him in world class championship wrestling way before he became a wwf wrestler and it sucks when these wrestlers pass away because they give us so many great memories that we will remember for the rest of our lives I hope wrestling can one day retain the magic it has lost

Whether you liked Rick or not,you can't dispute the fact this guy was ALL MAN. RIP.

Outstanding work!! Rick Rude was one of my favorite heels. Loved his WCW run as World Champion. Thank you

It's crazy how Jake the snake and Scott hall are still alive

RIP Richard Erwin "Ravishing Rick Rude" Rood, December 7, 1958 - April 20, 1999

Wow. I’ve learned so much from your channel. More needs to be done for wrestlers, it’s sad that many of them have tragic endings.😭

Great episode. Like I said before, underrated wrestler. Love watching his matches with Warrior, Jake Roberts, and especially Ricky Steamboat.

I was literally waiting all day for this episode of BTT, once again great job Wreslelamia

one of the best heels ever, a legend who wrestled everyone, a man who commanded respect in that locker room, the ravishing one.....Rick Rude...... Rip.......

New fan here, been binge watching this series and it's great stuff. Would love to see a BTT on Nelson Frazier Jr. aka Mable/Viscera.

Your behind the Titantron series is some of the best stuff I’ve ever seen!

RIP Rick Rude my favorite wrestler of all time

I'm actually excited to watch this as if it was coming out in theaters, because that is how good these series are!!

One of my all time favorite heels. He was definitely ahead of his time. RIP Rick Rude. "Hit The Music." That was for you ladies.

I really like the way you narrate this series. Thanks so much for another job well done. 🤗

I can't wait for the Curt Hennig episode he also died way too young 😞

I enjoyed seeing Rick Rude wrestle back in the day I loved the storyline between him and Jake The Snake Roberts! That fight between him and Sting was brutal!

RIP Ravishing one. Back in the day he provided us with such top class entertainment great memories.

These episodes keep getting better and better. I loved this man and that he was an amazing character. Ty for the episode.

Rick Rude was my favorite heel from the 80's and early 90's. His gimmick was exceptionally heel, but at the same time it was quite comical. He did almost a comedy routine to his matches. The way he would bend his back when he got hit or pretended to be hurt was hilarious and doing shit like having his tights ripped off in the middle of the ring in front of 1000's of fans. He also would put funny characetures of people on his tights to piss people off like Jake Robert's wife. And of course his epic ring entrances with that music and his torments of fat ,lazy, out of shape people in the crowds from each city. The kiss at the end that would make some random woman faint was pretty crazy too. And of course anytime you had Bobby Heenen by your side as your manager their was a whole other comedic aspect to it as well. He was a legend. And to this day hes still my all time favorite heel who ever did it. My dad never liked wrestling. He thought it was stupid and I could never understand why because I thought it was all real. But he definitely got a serious kick out of Ravishing Rick Rude and would laugh and joke with us about him or during a match if we were watching and he was home. So for Rick Rude to be that good at what he was doing to impress my dad who didnt care for WWF was pretty hilarious. There were some others too who I caught my dad enjoying like George "the Animal" Steele, Kamala, Iron Shiek, and JYD too. Not sure why those guys in particular he found so entertaining, but he most definitely did. It's crazy too because he passed away exactly one year after Rick Rude also of a sudden heart attack. (4/20/00)

I always found Rick Rude funny. He's just chillin there with his intercontinental belt, staring at you through the tv camera lens looking like a strutting tomcat in heat.

Finally...my favorite heel of all time. One of the greatest ever to do it. Should have been a world champion in WWF. He had it all.

Best series on the channel. RIP RIC RUDE. An absolute Legend.

I love the Behind The Titantron series. Thank you for sharing.

Once again another excellent video with solid production and editing. I also noticed I never subscribed in the past so im doing that now.

Excellent vids and always look forward to watching them. Such a sad loss of Rick. A proper great heal.

Such an awesome heel. I loved the promos he gave on the Boss Man's mother.

Ravishing Rick Rude... What a name.

What a great entertainer.....the current wrestlers today just cannot compare to that era!!! He is missed!!!!

I'm doing a complete day binge on these videos I absolutely love this channel you guys are amazing 👍👍

I love your series it’s so amazing. Also your voice is perfect for this series. Gives it a chilling feel

my favorite all time wrestler. saw him in person many times in the 80's. RIP

I've been waiting for this one. Rick Rude was so underrated. It's a shame that he suffered that terrible back injury. I don't know why they had that elevated platform outside the ring during his final match. Seems like negligence on the promotions part. It makes me wonder how different his life and career would have been if he hadn't suffered that back injury. Maybe he'd still be with us. Very sad.

Fantastic series! Excellent work and please keep them coming!!!

My absolute favorite wrestler of all time - even when I was a kid. Thank you so much for making this video!

Awesome show as usual! I grew up loving Rick Rude! Major talent! His death was nothing shy of a tragedy.

Rick Rude had it all: the body, in ring skills and mic skills. Rude should have taken the WWF world title from Warrior.

Brilliant episode once again, Ravishing Rick Rude was truly the most underrated wrestlers of all time. I have said before, he was so good he could drew heat from an ice cube R.I.P.

Thanks for uploading the Behind the Titantron series on the Final Days of "Ravishing" Rick Rude. I'll be waiting for the next episode about the Final Days of Rude's buddy Mr. Perfect. Both Rude and Henning were two of the greatest heels in wrestling history and they sadly died young. RIP Ravishing Rick Rude and Mr. Perfect

This was another great episode, but i missed that intro

I met Rude at a Philadelphia strip club when he briefly worked for ECW. Nice guy.

Great episode, very well put together👍👍, now keep the noise down while I watch another Wrestlelamia video✌🇺🇸

Great channel probably the best wrestling one on here Well edited and clearly narrated Covers all aspects Brings back childhood memories so thankyou for your uploads

Who’s here before 1 Million?

One of the very best, played the heel perfectly. All his feuds were great.

Great video, I always look forward to these.

I look forward to these videos, keep it up man

One of my favorite wrestlers and he was absolutely gorgeous❤❤❤rip beautiful one.🙏💪

RIP RICK RUDE!! MUCH LOVE TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY!! GOD BLESS 🙏🙏 YOU

Wow. Awesome video. Thanks Wrestlelamia!!!!!!!

He was my favorite wrestlers when growing up. He did have a perfect body. I always wondered what happened to him. Thanks for sharing.

I love this series you do a great job!! would love to see an episode about the last days of Sherri Martel.

About time bruh. All these news back and forth. Forgets how the channel started. These are by far the best in your channel, keep bringing them. 😡👍

Finally a new video from behind the titantron... And o offering to the next one... thank you... 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🙏🏼

Thank you for bringing Behind the TitanTron back!!!

Rick makes me want to grow a mullet and a mustache

He’s one of my favorites of all time💪🏻

Great verbal narration with appealing visual elements and solemn background sound all work together to give this video the feel of a documentary-style profile story as compared to the typical cliched cookie-cutter fare... This is your best segment yet...

Great character lots of laughs. RIP 2020!

He was my all time favorite. Just great!

Rude had the most aesthetic upper body of all time. Lugar had the best overall physique, but Rude was insanely ripped. Unbelievable how he could stay in that kind of shape with his travel schedule.

beautiful video and the best series on all of youtube in the wrestling genre

You do an amazing job with these videos.. If you made an hour long video of Bastion Booger, I would watch it and enjoy it, because they are put together so well. Keep up the awesome work! Look forward to more vids!!

Damn i JUST realized he died the same day that horrible Columbine Massacre happend..

Pls make more videos of this i am huge fan of your content

Love The Intro, WrestleLamia!!

I’m happy to know that he was a Christian. That explains why he was so loyal to his friends and why he went out of his way to help people he didn’t know even when kayfabe was still a thing and he was a heel. Rest well my friend, the rest of us will continue for you and all those who came before us. GOD bless us all.

One of the greatest technical wrestlers ever! I'll never forget that dropkick from the top rope he hit the Warrior with at WM5.

One of my dream matches Razor Ramon vs Rick Rude in WWF

Always great documentaries!

Good Work again !!!! Can wait for another épisode

One of the greatest heels of all time. RIP Ravishing Rick Rude
