Posted March 25, 20187 yr comment_5837466 Rick Rude vs Koko B Ware - Primetime Wrestling 4/11/88 Sometimes it is just refreshing to watch really basic pro wrestling. Shine->heat and just watch a couple pros go at it no bells no whistles. Rude has not been pushed just yet. He is wearing bright tights with ugly gray boots. He looks like he has star potential, but is not totally there. Within the month, they would begin the Rude Awakening Kiss Segments leading to the big Cheryl Roberts angle and his airbrushed tights. Koko is such a great babyface. Rude is caught posing one too many times and Koko starts headbutting him and some good jabs. Great Memphis babyface that Koko B Ware. Rude was just a great body that posed a lot and talked a good game. Koko misses a charge in the corner. The heat segment is basic but good selling from Koko. I liked the cutoffs from Rude but too reliant on the chinlock. This was during The Brain's obsession with kidnapping animals, Bulldogs chase him off before he can kidnap Frankie. Rude runs to the back to help Heenan. Koko wins by countout. Perfectly acceptable pro wrestling.
