Matt Riddles transformation into the Rude Dude isnt just a wrestling gimmickits a whole vibe, and it turns out its rooted in years of mischievous behavior. While chatting with The Stunner on YouTube, Riddle was asked about his history with Mischief Night, the night before Halloween where kids traditionally engage in harmless trouble. His response took an unexpected turn when he revealed that growing up, they didnt even call it that.
Before he ever stepped foot in a wrestling ring, Riddle was causing a little chaos around Saratoga Springs, New York. But instead of Mischief Night, he grew up calling it something else entirely.
Riddle explained that his antics were mostly harmless and biodegradable. No spray paint or property damagejust good old-fashioned eggs and toilet paper.
Despite his chaotic energy in the ring and persona as a Rude Dude, Riddle made it clear he always knew where to draw the line.
And in true Riddle fashion, he sealed the segment with a quote that perfectly sums up who he is now, Im a rude dude, but I got common sense.
Riddle continues to reinvent himself on the independent scene, but even when hes reflecting on childhood mischief, its clear he hasnt lost that chaotic charm. The ACW headliner knows how to walk the line between fun and recklessand that balance might be what keeps fans coming back.
