Dudley Boyz
| Biography |
The Dudley Boyz, Bubba Ray Dudley and D-Von Dudley, are one the most successful tag teams in wrestling history. They are part of ECW's infamous Dudley Family, which included Snot Dudley, Dudley Dudley, Big Dick Dudley, Dances With Dudley, Signguy Dudley, Chubby Dudley, and the runt of the litter Spike Dudley. The Dudley Boyz's gimmick can be summed up in one word: tables. The Dudley Boyz's claim to WWF/WWE fame is bringing the use of tables into the mainstream. The Dudley Boyz were also part of the development of a match known as TLC (Tables, Ladders and Chairs) along with the Hardy Boyz (ladders) and Edge and Christian (chairs). After capturing the ECW Tag Team titles eight times, the Dudleys left in August 1999 to join the WWF, now WWE. The Dudley Boyz are the only tag team in history to capture the WWE, WCW and ECW tag titles. The Dudley Boyz have won a major tag team title 18 times— eight times in the ECW, nine times in the WWE, and once with a WCW belt (even though the WWE had purchased WCW the belts were still recognized as WCW titles). They were also involved in wrestling legend Fred Blassie's last television appearance, six weeks before his death in 2003. Blassie came out to the ring entrance ramp in his wheelchair and participated in a storyline with the Dudleys. The climax of the story came when Blassie told the Dudleys to "get the tables!", a line typically delivered by D-Von to Bubba. |
