Up to this point, this list hasn't really explored heat in a wrestling match context, instead focusing mainly on how to elicit boos from the audience via mannerisms or words. Rick Rude is a perfect illustration of how to do both. Not only would the 'Ravishing' one cheat during matches, raking eyes and using every dirty tactic he could behind the back of the referee, he'd also rub his million dollar body and superior good looks in the faces of all the fans before each match. It's been said that in simplicity there is beauty, and that's something both Rude and his manager, Bobby Heenan understood perfectly. There was no magic formula to Rick Rude, he was just a great wrestler, who inferred he was better than everyone because he had a toned body. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q77WVAdvkNg
