View Full Version : Some fans are stupid...

At a 1989 WWF house show in Greensboro, North Carolina (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greensboro%2C_North_Carolina), a fan sued Rude for slander, based on Rude's traditional entrance of calling the crowd "fat", "out of shape" and various other insults on their appearance. The fan (who describes himself as overweight) was so offended by the comments, that he started to cry and then left to use the restroom and stayed there during the rest of the show. The case was settled out of court, and in future appearances in Greensboro, Rude promised to tone down his introduction to the crowd.

:nono: What a prick.

I love the way that he promises to tone it down in just Greensboro. They may be alittle more sensitive.

Yeah, how DARE a wrestler use a stereotype that had been used in wrestling to get heat since God knows when.

I can imagine going to the toilets and just hearing some overweight loser crying. Even better, Rude was on first match of the night and the big guy has missed out on Hogan in the main event.

Lucky guy :y:
