"Ravishing" Rick Rude
Is that Kari, Theresa, Donna & Patty with a mini-Tim Bowen in the background?
1988 at the Hammond Civic Center.
Rude was a four-time world champion (three-time WCW International World Heavyweight Champion, and one-time WCWA World Heavyweight Champion), one-time WWF Intercontinental Champion, and one-time WCW United States Champion. The self-proclaimed "Sexiest Man Alive", Rude was noted for his chiseled physique as well as being one of the greatest talkers in the history of professional wrestling. He is also notable for being a member of the original incarnation of D-Generation X, alongside Shawn Michaels, Triple H, and Chyna.
Rude died at the age of 40 on April 20, 1999 after suffering heart failure as the Columbine High School massacre was unfolding. He is survived by his wife Michelle and their three children. The cause of death may have been an overdose of Gamma-Hydroxybutyric acid (GHB). An autopsy report showed he died from an overdose of "mixed medications."Rude testified in 1994 that he had used anabolic steroids to alleviate pain in his joints and increase muscle mass.
