Creating the All-Star Survivor Series Elimination Match

Rick Rude

(3 appearances, 3 wins, 3 eliminations)

Most of the members of this team flip-flopped between a face and heel for their matches. Few people therefore can claim to have traveled the formative years of Survivor Series as a complete heel, and even fewer held onto an unbeaten record. Rick Rude is one of the exceptions. A highly underrated superstar, but heralded by fellow competitors for his skill, charisma and technical ability, is not adequately recognized for the part he played in supporting the growth of Survivor Series in the late 1980’s.

Rude scored an elimination in all three of the matches that he competed in, so in this fantasy match that consistency could prove invaluable. But, it was not only his winning record and eliminations, but his ability to manipulate the rules that make him such an integral member of the team. As a heel for the vast majority of the career, Rude knew how to manipulate the rules better than anybody else, and would look to get in the heads of his rivals to get them disqualified and counted out whilst he slipped under the radar. Rick Rude is the pure heel that this team needs to keep them on message and give them an edge over the good guys on the other side.
