Crossbody of Work Episode 72: Rick Rude

Welcome to Crossbody of Work, a show where we break down a wrestler’s career through five of their biggest matches.

Get ready, sweat hogs. This week we’re diving into the career of Rick Rude. From his legendary feud with Jake Roberts and his run as Intercontinental Champion in WWF to his time in WCW as part of the Dangerous Alliance, we check out his whole run. One of the best of all time, and an all-time great mustache. On top of all these matches, Evan & Javier also talk about: 

• Streaming on Twitch
• Slapping people
• Smiley fries
• Polar bears
• Money in the Bank predictions

And a lot more.
