Rick Rude is set to take his rightful place among WWE's greats. The Ravishing One is the latest official inductee in the 2017 Hall of Fame class, Bleacher Report has confirmed.

The hip-gyrating, audience-incensing former intercontinental champion was one of WWE's top heels in the late '80s. Rude was a master of manipulating the audience. He made women swoon and left their boyfriends fuming. 

Rude (born Richard Erwin Rood) co-founded D-Generation X, played a key role in the Monday Night War and challenged for both WWE and WCW's world titles en route to becoming one of the most enduring characters in squared-circle history.

Cut the music. What I'd like to have right now is for all you fat, out of shape OT sweathogs to take a look at what a real man looks like.

He passed away in 99 or 2000

II he was a world class arm wrestler and a bouncer at the same club that the road warriors were bouncers at, prior to pro wrestling.

I heard when another wrestler teased him about it once he said "It's an upper body business, kid.". LOL

That damn neckbreaker (the rude awakening) was one of the goat moves. It always cracked me up when he winded the opponent up and before he dropped them, he would swivel his hips.
