I continue to think these are really good. I don't know if there was much they could have done to make Rude a strong challenger for Warrior (at least partly because, we'll, it's Warrior) but you can't blame them for trying. The ideas are there, but there wasn't anything they could do.

Rick Rude is still in the gym but is now working out on the bench press. He says that when he meets the Ultimate Warrior again he will be an unstoppable force, an immovable object and if the Warrior should be lucky enough to get him in a pinning position, he too will be hoisted off just as easy as the 405lbs on this bench press. He can read the Warrior like a book and once more he will take the title that he holds so dearly.

 

Good promo and I liked this as an effective way over showing Rude’s power and strength. If he can press 405lbs than pressing out of a pin from the Warrior should be a breeze!

I can see the complaints that it's never going to work, making Rude a serious challenger. But you know what, these promos are absolute gold. Rude and Heenan carry off their roles perfectly. Mainly I think this kind of thing could have worked (if he could have pulled it off) for Luger in the NWA. A more serious, less cartoony promotion would have gotten way more mileage out of this kind of deal.
