Austin Idol SLAPS Rick Rude (Instant Gratification Edit) Memphis Wrestling

[@AngloCelt88]

If this had happened the other way around, Austin Idol would still be laying on the studio floor in Memphis today.

Ironically, Rick Rude was famous for his open hand slap having legit knocked out several wrestlers backstage as well as patrons when he was a bouncer.

​@@Deeky76I'm impressed that you used ...too. Even though you didn't use it right. Get out of the fairytale. Honestly , it's.....for real , I might bet on Rude. FOR REAL....If rude was still alive today in a REAL conflict. Idol would slap him around. It would be a REAL battle. They are real life badasses and real men. Idol would beat you to a pulp today and Rude would TOO.
