R.I.P. Ravishing Rick Rude
Five years ago today, the wrestling world lost a great wrestler. Others lost their father, husband, son, brother and friend.

RIP Richard Erwin Rood 12/7/58 - 4/20/99

I just heard on the news that it is also the 5th anniversary of the Columbine murders too. Oddly, I don't remember these events happening on the same day. It also seems like Columbine was much longer ago.

Yes, Rude was about as great as they get when it comes to heels. You couldn't help but hate the guy. But heelish charisma and excellent mic work aside, Rude was very good in the ring. He carried Ultimate Warrior to decent matches and a great cage match at Summerslam 90. He's also one of the very few guys to hold a pinfall victory over the Warrior. He will also be remembered for his work in one of the greatest stables ever, the Dangerous Alliance. R.I.P. Rude.

If I'm not mistaken, he was on camera on both shows simultaneously that night. Because I remember flipping back and forth from RAW to Nitro and trippin' because he was on both channels at the same time.

Yeah, I had read about Rude going to WCW on the now defunct wrestling news site hadeswrestling.com and I knew that RAW was taped, but a friend of mine that was here that night was a super mark and he didn't know what the Hell was going on. LOL, I ****ed with his head by telling him Rick Rude had a identical twin brother named Dick.
