These are starting to remind me of Curt Hennig's "Perfection" vignettes, where he plays basketball, shoots pool, throws darts, etc. They look great and are well done by everyone, but like Pete says, at some point you want the guy to get in the ring and fight someone. Unfortunately, that time for Rude and Warrior is still almost two months away, with no way for an actual in-ring confrontation to even be teased.

 

It's clearer than ever that Hogan, champion or not, was always intended to be the man, even while he was off filming Suburban Commando. I no longer buy the idea that Warrior was ever meant to be anything but a placeholder while Hogan took care of other business, regardless of what else may have been said in other places. If it hadn't been for the Gulf War, Warrior would have turned on Hogan before Mania VII and been beaten for the title in an almost exact replay of the Megapowers angle. No promotion with a lick of sense treats its number one attraction's first big feud with the title like an afterthought, unless he's not really their number one attraction at all and was never supposed to be.

Rick Rude is back in the gym and he has learned that history has a tendency to repeat itself. Everyone knows that the only man that he is the only man to beat the Ultimate Warrior for a title, and what the world is about to find out is that he is the only man who can beat him right now. Heenan says that they are going all the way to the top and then Rude climbs up a rope to the ceiling of the gym using only his arms. Rude says that the climb to the top is not an easy thing to do, but he’s going to take the Warrior’s title.

 

I do like these skits but can’t believe that they’ve been running for nearly two months now.
