Oh Jesus.
I loved them both. I've stated before that I thought Dibiase was the greatest heel EVER. But it's so hard to vote against Triple R. With heavy heart I must vote for Dibiase. |

Same here. This is to be expected in a Hall of Fame round. Rude is one of my favorites, so this is very tough. It is one of those rare rounds where I wish I could vote for both, lol.
I love Rude on the mic, but in ring, DiBiase is hard to beat. Ultimately, I'm gonna have to go with DiBiase for his more memorable theme music, his staying power, run with IRS (IRS is the best!!!) as Money Inc., the Million Dollar Corporation, and his evil laugh. |

Million Dollar Man. His intro theme is one of my favorites.
Every time i see that particular Rick Rude picture, I keep thinking he's really wearing 2 belts and then realize its just an image of a title. |

In my opinion, Rick Rude should have defeated The Ultimate Warrior in the Super Posedown at the Royal Rumble.

I know that Val Venis was inspired partly as a porn star style character but did they ever actually think of Rick Rude when creating Val Venis ?
Both seem very similar in character to each other (minus the cool pants Rude always had). |

Rude was awesome, but DiBiase could have had a match with a piece of wood.
And here is the evidence: |

Both were amazing heels and I really loved Rude's promos but better quality matches I gotta go with Dibiase
This guy was amazing in Bill Watts' Mid South Wrestling/UWF |

Finally, a proper "Better Wrestler" comparison.
This is a really, really tough one, and Rick Rude definitely was awesome, and definitely was underrated, but both were comparable in the ring and could have matches with anyone, and both were monster heels, so you have to defer to identity. The Million Dollar Man is an icon...anyone who was alive in the 80's can identify Ted, whether they're wrestling fans or not, and sadly, this is not the case for Rude. MDM gave us some of the most priceless moments in wrestling history, like kicking a basketball away from a young child who had been promised money if he could do it. Going to have to go with Teddy here. But very close. Last edited by 311; 09-26-2009 at 01:55 PM. |
