WCW - Ravishing Rick Rude vs Ric Flair P1/2

[ruben21]

wow this bring back memories. I remember listening to ppv's back in the day on cable with the tv scrambled up cause we couldnt afford to get the ppv's lol.

[peaches4201981]

this is when wcw was great!

[azariah15]

Rick Rude deserved the Worlf title reign.

[desecrator1000]

2:22 lmfao shiavone

[lyles2300]

Tony said that it's a wonder that they are not both dead well I can sure say that rude definitely is

[amongstdemons]

They had the talent that was IMO alot better than WWF during the time but it was because of ignorance behind the scenes who knew shit about how to run the company which led to their ultimate demise. Although it built alot of steam with the NWO later on, they still died do to greedy pricks who took the millions the wrestlers were making and once they did, they didn't want anything to do with it. It didn't help giving full creative control to Russo and Ferrara. TNA is headed a similar path.

[QuassDebonair]

@amongstdemons TNA's also shooting themselves in the foot by ruining their surprises they try to do. Bischoff's trainer? Yeah announcing Hogan's return then having hogan show up as his trainer..Totally ruined any suspense and excitement they had in that situation. TNa's got the wrestling,but that's about it

[texasguy10209]

How bad ass is Texas, that matches get named Texas Death Match, and others lol

[bigdutch301]

That's a lot of flamboyance in the ring!!! 2 of the best all time heels... R.I.P. to Rick Rude!

[kickchick1974]

I wish Rick had lived to do shoot interviews... I'm sure he'd have some interesting stories to tell! Absolute legend. Although he played the ultimate heel in the ring, all the other wrestlers only ever had good things to say about what he was like behind the scenes.

[TheAgeofOrtonLEGACY]

@kickchick1974 TOO RIGHT!!

[abernam]

This is the kind of competition the WWE needs. TNA and ROH doesn't match up. Ted Turner/ Time Warner money, TBS/ TNT exposure! 

[FRSFreeStatePlus]

Great matchup for the World Heavyweight Championship

[inframan7]

Fi-Fi needs to blow rude after this match for the true heavyweight championship of hot bitches. Long live RICK RUDE THE GREATEST CHAMP EVER......

[NThomp26]

Vader Cracks Me Up lol

[JabbaTheAmerican]

OK, who started the Whoomp, There It Is chant during the Figure 4?

[luismerno]

Red rooster de Referi???? melas...

[PinchinTheBear]

Anyone else notice that the ref is the red rooster!? Terry Taylor!?

[PabloMGP]

@PinchinTheBear course

[TroyWBurnett]

Ric Flair all happy that he landed a top rope move! Hey, and it was all the way to the floor none the less! Alright Ric!

[coolhanddean]

wcw had the best main eventers in the early 90's..

[BFLY1980]

R I P RICK RUDE... U r missed

[ryanhitmanfury]

The belt looks damn good on Rude.

[luismerno]

So perfect!!!

[PabloMGP]

@ryanhitmanfury Now that's what a real world champion, is suposed to loo like...Hit the music

[peaches4201981]

@ryanhitmanfury yes it does!

[NYGiants5680]

does anyone else notice that fifi kinda looks like stephanie mcmahon?

[Greg4fun]

I've always loved Jesse Ventura on commentary!!

[InnerMostHAIL]

Damn i Never knew Ric rude Held the world title and i am a wrestling Fan from the start..Damn

[Edgehead10075]

"AIN'T that his job?" Brilliant, and this guy was a fucking GOVERNOR?

[Edgehead10075]

Rude's world title was considered to be the lesser of the two world titles.

[Edgehead10075]

I wonder what happened to Fifi.

[Edgehead10075]

Flair NEVER beat Rude. I like how Rude cheated to beat Flair for the strap because he beat Flair at Flair's game.

[Jesse48311]

red rooster as the ref....awesome

[Jesse48311]

hogan killed wcw

[FAITHandLOGIC]

Rude looks good with the belt on.

[lampini]

wow that second announcer's bald head is totally real ( sarcazm)

[MCWAY1]

You learn something new every day. I knew Ravishing Rick Rude won the WCW title (although when I found that out, I was shocked because I didn't watch WCW back then). But, I didn't know he beat Flair for the belt.

[sirhc2242]

@MCWAY1 I just learned that he won the WCW title.. I didn't think rude ever held a world heavyweight championship

[Edgehead10075]

It was a world title, but it wasn't the WCW Title. It was the "WCW International" World Title, as WCW actually had two world titles at the same time for a while after leaving the NWA in 1993.

[thanhbites]

i smell a classic !

[DRINKINGS0MA]

louisiana losers lol

[misterl0gic]

Damn WCW had momentum: Vader, Cactus Jack, Rick Rude, Ric Flair, Ventura on announcing.. the fuck they needed Hogan for? Macho, yes, but Hogan just gobbled up title reigns and airtime

[cbaldwinjr]

@misterl0gic Had momentum. LMAO...they languished even with the WWF not being very good overall. Hogan took them to another level. Gave them something they really had never had: mainstream credibility. Why are people so adamant about twisting history to fit their biases against Hogan? Hogan may have gobbled up title reigns, but he put asses in the seats while doing it. Meanwhile, Ric Flair was getting into debt, slapped around by 2-3 wives, and generally being NOTHING like his wrestling persona

[blasto1979]

@misterl0gic Very true, WCW was great at this time, but Hogan was just still very popular in the public's eye :(

[noobletboohoo30]

@misterl0gic fuck u hogan rocks

[lasprince]

@misterl0gic Overkill with Hogan, but came in and fucked it all up!

[TheMadStork83]

@misterl0gic Because Hogan draws money and ratings.

[michiyoyoshiku]

@TheMadStork83

Drew money and Raitings now he's Raitings repllent

[TheMadStork83]

@michiyoyoshiku I'm sorry, what? I can't understand what you're saying.

[SeanMBryans]

@TheMadStork83 You mean Hogan USE TO draw money and ratings. Past tense. Now he just stinks up an arena by his very presence.

[TheMadStork83]

@SeanMBryans Isn't that what the whole conversation was about to begin with? Back when WCW and Hogan were still relevant? And how Hogan single handily turned WCW into a global phenomenon over night? Hell, look at what Bash at the Beach '94 did for WCW as a whole. And you can't say that Hogan "stinks up the arena". Sting vs Hogan at B4G tore the house down and was easily the match of the night.  That entire arena in Philly was marking out that night for those "old, washed up, has-beens".

[kobeisapunkrapist]

@TheMadStork83 hogan was garbage. go fuck yourself

[TheMadStork83]

@kobeisapunkrapist How much money did Hogan draw? And he was garbage? Shows how much you know about PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING, now you, go fuck yourself:)

[michiyoyoshiku]

@misterl0gic

Bishoff lacks common sense

[Taught77]

rics wwf music was way better

[DurtyFilipino]

red rooster terry taylor as the ref!

[jackiedegracia]

TO BE THE MAN YOU'VE GOTTA...WOOO!...BEAT THE MAN.

[jackiedegracia]

I know Flair's the man but I gotta root for Rude.

[Quntumking]

I've been wanting to see this match for a LONG (LONG) time.

[TheVerge2011]

Never knew this match took place.. It's rare to see Flair dominate a match for so long. He's usually the one taking the bumps. Awesome find.

[Ninety2q]

@TheVerge2011 They also wrestled at Fall Brawl, the previous pay per view. Rude hit Flair with brass nucks while in the figure four.

[FAITHandLOGIC]

Rude looks good with that belt!

[Buckeyecat2002]

This classic match should have had two million plus views.

[808nah]

lmao @ 5:54 "all of that for the challenger!"

[rtfuhj]

flair was in great shape

[chrisis138]

@rtfuhj yeah, steroids.

[rtfuhj]

funny

[rtfuhj]

God i miss these days of pro wrestling!!

[AndrewsOpinion15]

rurd hate flair in real life right ?

[lemontoalime]

What year is this?

[TOMMYd0888]

I remember when Bobby first came in I thought he may have been related, though I knew he was from Toronto.

I believe Rick Rude won his title from Hiroshi Hase, but he may have just defended against him.

[Naim914]

I've been looking for this match forever

[MrStover007]

I know my wrestling and don't remember Rick Rude ever winning the WCW world title especially not from Ric Flair,and is Robert Rude of TNA Rick Rude's son?

[Naim914]

@MrStover007 bobby rudes not related to rick and this was around the time wcw left the nwa and they were still using both belts. Sting ends up beating Rude and unifying the belts before loosing it to Vader

[heavenhelp1982]

@Naim914 not quite right there, dude...Sting lost the title to Rude but then Rude got injured and vacated the belt...Sting beat Vader for the vacant title, before losing it to Flair in a title unification match

[gilchris112]

@heavenhelp1982 and then Hogan beat flair correct?

[heavenhelp1982]

@gilchris112 that's right man...those were good days for the industry

[AquamanFan100]

what year?

[animeoster04]

@AquamanFan100  1993
