Minnesota has produced some legendary grapplers such as Ric Flair, Verne Gagne, and Bob Backlund, but it’s hard to believe the number of famous wrestlers who went to high school with Rick Rude. Minnesota’s Robbinsdale High School would house not only Rude, but Curt Hennig, Nikita Koloff, John Nord, Barry Darsow, Tom Zenk, and Brady Boone.
