[1997-11-08-ECW-TV] Interview: Rick Rude

[Loss]

Talk about it here.

Rick Rude has had more booty than the toilet seats at Madison Square Garden. In the end, Rude said that the beginning of the year that he'd get to Douglas, and he finally did. Rude has played a bigger role in 1997 than I would have expected going into this yearbook.

Lance Wright as cocky heel announcer guy in ECW but nowhere near as good as Gertner. Where’s Brakkus?

Lance Wright was annoying and the outside music they piped in kept distracting me from getting into this promo too much.

The camera zooms in obnoxiously onto Lance Wright's face--how many evil announcers do we need in one little promotion, exactly? Rude's partnership with Douglas was all a set-up, it seems, and he's back to fucking the Franchise like he said he'd do at the start of '97. Shel Silverstein had a children's poem called "Ations" that goes a lot like Rude's promo here--that might be the most pointlessly obscure reference I've ever made watching these Yearbooks.
