Rick Rude was a major part of my childhood. His feuds with Jake the Snake and Ultimate Warrior were huge events that were talked about over many lunches and recesses.

Not just any pistol, that's a desert eagle.

A DE in the early 90's. It would look cheesy now but it the early 90's, they were just becoming popular.

Finger not on the trigger. I respect it.

Finger not on the trigger was the first thing I noticed. Agreed.

It's funny how once you start looking for trigger discipline, it's the first place your eyes go every time you see a person holding a gun.

os_beef@reddit

That and muzzle discipline immediately communicate a lot about competence with firearms in terms of safe handling.

If Rick Rude is Xennial old testament, Snatch is Xennial new testament

(yes, I'm conviently ignoring the fact Snatch is itself 25 year old!)

It's way, way cooler than a Desert Eagle:

First-gen IMI Jericho 941. Made famous as Spike's preferred sidearm in Cowboy Bebop, this Israeli tank of a pistol is sexy AF and a dream to shoot. No way of knowing for sure, but I would put a few ducats down on Rick's being chambered in .45 ACP, just like mine.

KineadZ@reddit

I know the 941, so I have to sorta disagree, because his mitts would make a 941 seem small, the reason the gun seems as large as it does is because i believe it to be a full weight DE.

Though, you had me second-guessing myself for a second.

Hilsam_Adent@reddit

On closer inspection, you are correct and I am not. It has the longer, sharper dovetail of the Deagle. I was going by the (lack of) ports in the slide, but forgot that the first gen (and a half) of the Desert Eagle didn't have them.

ONROSREPUS@reddit

Those are fairly large guns. His hand size makes it look pretty normal sized. He has some big old paws.

Vader was absolutely terrifying to watch. I once saw a video of a match he wrestled in Japan, where his actual eye popped out of its socket, just hanging out on his cheek. So he takes off his mask, mushes it back in there, then continued the match for another 15-20 minutes. I really have to resist going on an old man "kids today don't know what ______ is" rant whenever I bring it up.

Normalize brandishing weapons in public again.

[-]

Rower78@reddit

He’s not brandishing a firearm. He is opening displaying a pistol for a photo. It’s not brandishing until you’re doing it to intimidate or coerce someone

I've been a lifelong fan of pro wrestling, and went to a ton of wrestling shows as a kid.

I've seen Hogan, Undertaker, Ric Flair, Sting, Cactus Jack (a/k/a Mick Foley), Road Warriors, Rude, Piper, etc., and ton of others wrestle at live events.

I don't think I ever got to see Vader live, though.
