Rick Rude is in my personal top 5 favorites off all time. He had a ton of great matches, his Memphis run was a tad before My time but I've saw some brief stuff from some of the sets I have. His WCCW run w/ the late Percy Pringle was awesome to me as a child growing up. His matches against Iceman King Parsons, Lance Von Erich, & Chris Adams stick out to me. His NWA run was ok, I didn't like how he just quit the company w/o a notice while holding a belt w/ Manny but be that as it may they still had a good run while it lasted, they saw many good matches against the Rock & Roll Express. The WWF run saw many good performances, his matches against Ricky Steamboat were some of the best during his time there, he also got great matches out of Hulk Hogan & The Ultimate Warrior (how many can really say that). He even got quality matches against JYD, the Jake Roberts angle & matches were epic to me, I can even remember a certain match against Tito Santana that was great. Rick's WCW run was the best to me tho, the debut w/ the whole Phanton gimmick was funny, the huge feud w/ Sting was the best of his career imo. The Dangerous Alliance was the best faction in wrestling besides the Four Horseman EVER, matches in WCW against Brad Armstrong, Brian Pillman, The Z-Man, Marcus Bagwell, Barry Windham, Big Josh, Ron Simmons, but my personal favorite WCW feud was with Dustin Rhodes, man Rick got many, many great matches out of him. Lets not forget his Japan matches either, they were all solid, lastly back tracking a bit but I remember seeing him on the Arsenio Hall show pushing his match vs Warrior.... that had me laughing for weeks, I was saddened when Rick passed away, I think he was training for a in ring return for WCW, it would have been great to see.
