[1990-04-21-WWF-Superstars] Rick Rude vignette

[Loss]

Talk about it here.

Rude continues training and socks it the-whatever-you-call-the-thing-people-box-with. These are good.

A speed bag.

 

So far we've seen nothing but Rude throwing out challenges and Warrior being a closet champion. I don't think this is just Yearbook selection bias--I think Warrior was legitimately off television for a month-plus after the supposed passing of the WWF torch.

Still enjoying this but it does seem odd we have not heard nothing of a rebuttal from the Warrior considering how much he babbled going against Hulk. I was impressed with how good Rude was punching on the speed bag.

Rude pounds on a speed bag with Warrior’s face on it. He again demonstrates the ability to chat while doing some type of physical activity. Rude has legit KO power.

Nice airbrushed Ultimate Warrior speed bag. I wonder what they wound up doing for that? Seems like they probably spent a good deal of money to use that for one TV segment. Then again, by the time Warrior left the company a little over a year later, it wouldn't surprise me if Vince was using that speed bag himself to release some tension.

When did he get his hair cut?

[garretta]

Three winners in a row from Rude and the Brain.

 

If I'm not mistaken, Rude had trained at least a little as a boxer in his younger days; that may be why he looks so at home on the speed bag.

That Warrior face on the bag is really funny looking. I'm a huge fan of speed bag spots.

Rick Rude is in the gym again and doing some work on the speed bag which has the Ultimate Warrior’s face painted on it. He says how he’s beaten the Warrior before and will beat him again. All his skills will be sharpened, he’ll be as quick as a cat, as strong as an ox and when skill collides with opportunity it is going to be the end of the Ultimate Warrior.

 

Impressive job again by Rude cutting that promo while concentrating and punching the speed bag at the same time.

I was also impressed here. Rude kept that speed bag moving while talking! Very good series of vignettes so far.
