Not that Rude is a bad choice at all. I was able to witness the transformation from "Rick Rood" to "Ravishing Rick Rude" when he got his first big push of his career.
Quite a nice thing to see Rude really blossom into one of the greatest heels of all time!!!

Speaking of Rick Rude,
In my LOW fed Major League Wrestling (MLW), Rude just got drafted from my Smackdown brand to my RAW brand where I made him part of the Heenan Family.
Although he won his feud against DDP, Rude overall only had moderate success on my Smackdown brand. Perhaps moving him over to RAW and uniting him with Bobby Heenan will make him more successful.

I've heard that despite Rude's slim but ripped frame (compared to the other wrestlers), he had some of the strongest tendons out of any other professional wrestler not named Danny Hodge. Wasn't he like some sort of arm wrestling champion or something?

Wasn't he like some sort of arm wrestling champion or something? He was a champion arm wrestler. Won regionals, placed second or third (I'd have to look it up) in the nationals in 1980, and sixth in the world in 1983 at lightheavyweight. He, Hawk, Animal, and Barry Darsow all bounced at a tough biker bar in Minneapolis at the same time. They all agree that Rude was the one most patrons didn't want to mess with, due to his rep as having a mean streak and being able to knock men out with an open palm to the head. |

I loved Rude in Memphis when he was tagging with Neidhart. Now those were some crazy matches.

You hated him because in WccW he was so good as Champion and believible as a heel down there. I miss him. In my fed he just got a title shot against Stan lane and blew it. I hope others are having better luck with him that I just had.
