Well, he wrestled in the Hogan era, which probably explains why he was never the world champion. Still, I'm sure you remember his feud with Jake "The Snake" Roberts.
For those who don't know, Rude used to take a young lady from the crowd, and plant a kiss on her prior to each match. One night, Jake's wife was sitting in the front row, and Rick selected her for the 'thrill of her life'. As per the script, she was of course greatly offended. She explained that she couldn't kiss him because her husband wouldn't like that. When Rick asked her who her husband was, she proudly said, "Jake 'the Snake' Roberts." Of course he was unimpressed, and kissed her anyways. She slapped him, and Rude pushed her to the floor. This began the feud. Rude carried Roberts for month, giving us a number of outstanding matches. A truly classic wrestling feud to be remembered for years to come.
