1. Watching my favorite sports morning show Wednesday—Good Morning Football—I saw co-host Kyle Brandt bust out a Rick Rude impression while the cast was talking about wrestlers who would be good ambassadors for NFL teams.
This made me think of how freaking great Rude's gimmick was back in the day. As a kid in the '80s, you hated the heels, but you were still riveted to the TV every time Rude came to the ring and would perform his, "What I'd like right now, is to have all the fat, out-of-shape pigs to keep the noise down while I take my robe off," routine.
