The Boss (Big Bossman) WCW Debut vs Rick Rude



This is a borderline great match. I would be fine using this as a spotlight on why Bossman and Rick Rude were great wrestlers.

Bossman comes in as a dominating monster. Throwing Rude around the ring, dismantling him. Then later, Bossman plays the underdog babyface despite being a lot bigger than Rude.

Rude does a great job playing heel in peril. Getting his ass kicked by Bossman and the fans eating it up. Then he does this fantastic offensive flurry. As if he is desperate, even busting out the Original Rude Awakening DDT.

He then gets control and it works perfectly because Rick Rude is the best heel ever.

Best thing is, this match has a clean finish. Of course in true pro wrestling fashion, the PPV rematch was not nearly as good.
