Welcome to My (And Not Sly's) House
This week we feature two guys that were both in the WWF and WCW, but at various levels of success.
To begin with, we have the big man of the Horsemen, Barry Windham. While he is often overlooked, he was the World Heavyweight Champion and dropped the belt to Flair at BATB 93. He was just a classic big man that could do it all in the ring. His finisher, a suplex from the top rope, is so simple it's amazing but he made it look better than anyone else. Later he was hilarious as a West Texas Redneck.
His opponent this week is perhaps the best wrestler to never be a world champion. From Minnesota, Rick Rude was a classic heel. His womanizing ways and insults to any town he was in brought instant heat no matter where he was. The Rude Awakening was a move I always marked out for. He was ahead of his time with his evil ways and his feuds with Piper and Roberts were off the charts with intensity. His time in WCW was good as well, with his feud with Sting being the highlight.
That being said, you know the drill by now. Who wins and why?
