10 Things You Didn't Know About Rick Rude

9. Knocked Out A Bouncer With Bad Arm

If there's one thing that Rick Rude possessed, it was an impressive physique. In fact, the man had one of the best bodies in pro wrestling during the 1980's and early-90's. Lithe and slender, Rude had packed on a tremendous amount of muscle to make it in the industry. Routinely, Rude pops up on lists dedicated to the most awesome physiques, but he was also a known hard man. During his early 90s run in World Championship Wrestling, Rude was nursing a broken arm. On a night out with some of his peers, the guy was offended when a night club bouncer informed him that he felt pro wrestlers couldn't be as tough as many thought. Looking to defend himself from the insult, Rude simply opened his hand and cracked the doorman over the jaw. Incredibly, even though he was striking with his weaker, non-broken arm, Rick Rude broke the bouncer's jaw! This shows the remarkable strength that he possessed. If a slap from his bad hand could do such damage, imagine what a punch from his strong arm could have done.
