10 Times Wrestlers Refused To Break Character For The Media

10. Rick Rude - Live With Regis & Kathie Lee

They just don't make 'em like "Ravishing" Rick Rude anymore. He was the eightiest sex symbol of all time, a double-swarthy Tom Selleck with a gigantic perm and a porno sax soundtrack he could verbally summon from anywhere on Earth. He habitually made out with ladies until they were unconscious. Now, imagine this deranged satyr being presented to an audience of 100% bored housewives, and you are approaching the wonder that was Rick Rude's visit to Live With Regis and Kathie Lee.

Rude spends the entire segment staring intently at Kathie Lee like a cat about to pounce on a bird. Hilariously, Regis seems more fascinated with the Ravishing One than his co-host, constantly drooling over Rude's physique and, more than once, impatiently asking when the robe was coming off.

Rude kisses an audience member into a coma, but the real main event is his reveal of Kathie Lee's gigantic face airbrushed on his groin, which causes her to flee the studio in embarrassment. Regis, meanwhile, was predictably tickled to find himself emblazoned on Rude's backside.

Immortal Dialogue: "The fact of the matter is this, that when I was very young, my mother taught me that love is a thing to be spread."
