10 WWE Mid-Carders Who Secretly Had Great Careers
3. 'Ravishing' Rick Rude
Now that Randy Savage and the Ultimate Warrior have at long last been inducted into the WWE Hall Of Fame, perhaps the most glaring omission missing from the institution is 'Ravishing' Rick Rude.
Rick Rude is always spoken highly of by many of "the boys", and his work inside the ring helped many talents gets over. Rude's program with The Ultimate Warrior was so successful that Rude was the first challenger called upon when Warrior won the WWF Championship in 1990.
His pairing with Bobby Heenan was not something Rude needed nor was fond of, but you'd never know it by watching the two men work. They complimented each other perfectly and their professionalism shined.
Rude makes the list despite a brush with the main event scene because the majority of his career was spent in the middle of the card. He certainly deserved more and a run with the WWF's top prize wouldn't have been wasted on Rude, but his career proves that he didn't need it.
