#5 Rick Rude

Rick Rude

Rick Rude is a tragic figure when it comes to the wrestling business. He had a great career that lasted nearly two decades and in that time frame, Rude went on to feature in all three promotions. His first major break came with WWE when he feuded with the likes of Ultimate Warrior, Jake Roberts, and Roddy Piper. He was also one of the original founders of D Generation X.

Rude then had a memorable spell in WCW as part of the Dangerous Alliance. He then got a shot at Ric Flair’s World Heavyweight championship, which he successfully won. Rude’s career spun off afterwards and at the age of 40, he passed away due to heart failure.
