Rude pulled that Lloyd's of London insurance shit, the same thing a lot of 80s wrestlers were getting away with, hated being paired with Bobby Heenan, who was a close project and friend of Vince, Rude no showed events because of "injury" but fought to continue to get paid, Rude testified against Vince in federal court during the steroid trial, and appeared on RAW and WCW on the same night and openly buried Vince for screwing Bret.
>Rude testified against Vince?
According to Rude's testimony, McMahon said he “didn’t look good.” Trying to connect the dots after an unexpected criticism, the 'Ravishing' future Intercontinental Champion noted that he "was trying to establish a family" and "was not on anything". McMahon then told Rude to "push himself", which he categorically believed was an implication from his boss to take more steroids.
Robert Roode didn't do his fucking homework. I bet Black Machismo would've gotten over in the WWE before anyone using the Rude gimmick.
