Talk about it here.

Rude cuts another masked promo, and it's a shame the guy couldn't work anymore, because he fits into this environment really well. He leaves Joey Styles speechless here.

 

Shane Douglas comes looking for him, but Rude has already left. Because he is Shane Douglas, he decides to cut a promo anyway. Douglas says he knows why Rude won't unmask and has a tape from Japan that will reveal everything. It turns out to be Rude's injury from '94, which isn't exactly news.

Rude in a sweater and mask is a striking image. He even gives a kiss to Rude as he finishes his promo.

 

Styles still annoys me greatly.

 

Douglas has a VHS in his hand and its of his back injury.

The Masked Man wearing a sweater that would belong on WWF Primetime with McMahon, Heenan and Jake Roberts. Styles makes over the top facials after Masked Man’s lines for Douglas and Francine. Douglas has a VHS tape to shake at us. Watch the tapes to see what Douglas has done. Swearing promo by Douglas. Bret’s was so much more effective. Shane does some fantasy booking about Rude from 93 facing Douglas of 97.

Styles continues to mug for the camera as Not Rick Rude makes innuendos about Francine. Shane barges in and rebuts and demands Rude study videotapes. Wrestling promo or 1999-era DVDVR post? You decide. 45 minutes later Douglas wraps up and Francine asks an unintelligible question to Styles.
