10 Wild Wrestlers Who Oversold Throughout Their WWE Careers
9. Ravishing Rick Rude
'Ravishing' Rick Rude was known for his extremely shredded upper-body, and his ability to work inside the squared circle and bump all over the place.
Rude's talents in between the ropes helped him land with the World Wrestling Federation in mid-1987 after stints in Florida, World Class, and JCP during the territory days. Once Rude made it to the big stage of the WWF, he would quickly be programmed with many of the top superstars of Vince McMahon's national promotion.
Perhaps the program he's most famous for, and the one that would solidify Rude's spot in the list of classic over-sellers, was against The Ultimate Warrior.
In 1989, Rude was paired with Warrior because Rick knew how to work and could make the young greenhorn look good in the ring. After trading the Intercontinental Championship back and forth throughout the year, Rude was the first person called upon to work with Warrior after the Ultimate One became World Wrestling Federation Champion in 1990.
Whether he was being tossed from pillar to post or baring the crack of his ass for all the world to see, Rude knew how to turn it up to 11 when it came to selling a story.
