6. His Animosity with the Ultimate Warrior Began Long Before Their WWF Days
In case you haven’t heard the story, “Ravishing” Rick Rude and the Ultimate Warrior had an altercation backstage (more like a squash match once you hear the details) after Rude complained to the Warrior about him working stiff (although some tales have the Warrior complaining about Rude working stiff). The Warrior no-sold Rude’s complaints the same as he no-sold opponents’ offense in the ring, leading to Rude reportedly laying a beatdown on the Warrior. That was by no means the only incident. During the pose down angle leading up to WrestleMania VI, Warrior no-sold Rude’s attack so Rude stiffed the Warrior with a lead pipe. Later, when Rude saw Warrior gifting Andre the Giant with bottles of wine after their series, Rude was upset as Warrior had not reciprocated with Rude for putting him over.
