Ravishing Rick Rude & Bobby Heenan On The Arsenio Hall Show 7/27/90
Originally recorded by me back on July 27, 1990. Ravishing Rick Rude and Bobby 'The Brain' Heenan on The Arsenio Hall Show. Very cool appearance hyping up Rude's upcoming Summerslam '90 match against The Ultimate Warrior. If you have never seen this, check out Rude's tights at the end of the clip :) Enjoy!!!!!

So awesome! Thanks for uploading this. I remember Bobby Heenan referring to this in his book and what a nice guy Arsenio Hall was and I always wanted to see the interview.
You know what Arsenio may not been the great interview but if it wasn't for him late night tv would of been dull and boring. He change late night tv to what it is now. There wouldnt be a jimmy kimbel or jimmy fullon if it wasnt for Arsenio. He wasn't no Johnny Carson but he did lead the way for new type of late night tv. He also gave a phatform to some of the best people in movies,tv and music today. So all you people who says he suck yall are full of it. Give this man is respect and due. He will be remember as one of the greats Late night tv host not for his interview skill but for his ground breaking style of late night tv.
