Dudley Boyz Give Trick Williams a Pep Talk After NXT 2300

NXT Champion Trick Williams recently received some words of wisdom from WWE legends Bubba Ray Dudley and D-Von Dudley following NXT 2300.

NXT held its November 6th edition of show at the famous 2300 Arena and fans witnessed some epic moments with the return of several ECW originals.

WWE dropped a video clip on YouTube in which Trick Williams was speaking with Bubba Ray Dudley and D-Von Dudley after their team lost. Trick Williams said that he was angry with the outcome and that he was better than that. D-Von Dudley then told the NXT Champion Williams that he needed to learn from the loss. D-Von further told him that he would see a lot of success in the future and advised him to keep his head up despite the loss.

“Listen, we all lose. We’ve lost many a times. We’ve been successful at it, and when I mean success, even though we’ve lost, we’ve had a lot of successful matches after that. You’re young, you’re hungry and you’re a hell of a talent, so keep your head up and don’t you dare look down.”

Bubba Ray Dudley had teamed up with Trick Williams to face Ridge Holland and “All Ego” Ethan Page. The final moments of the match saw Ridge Holland winning by rolling up Trick Williams. Following the match, Ridge and Ethan attacked Trick, but Bubba helped fight them off. The duo then hit some classic Dudley Boyz offense with D-Von Dudley returning after the match as well.

Bully Ray Reveals He Felt ‘Stifled’ On WWE Return in 2015

Former WWE Superstar and Hall of Famer Bully Ray recently appeared on Stories with Brisco and Bradshaw. The Dudley Boy discussed several topics during the show, including when he returned to WWE in 2015.

When Bully and D-Von made their return, they hadn’t been in the company since 2006, so it was a culture shock for the ECW legend when he saw how different the industry was.

“When D-Von and I left in 2006, I remember what WWE was like,” Bully Ray began. “So when we went back in 2015, I remember feeling so stifled as a performer. Because you had to run almost everything by the agent, and being told that two guys don’t bump and feed for a comeback anymore, or that you can’t do this behind the ref’s back.

Bully Ray on WWE Culture

“Everything that worked in the Attitude Era that made all of us a lot of money, now you couldn’t do anymore” Bully added. “And there was not really a good reason why they didn’t want it done anymore. It’s just that they’d not want it done.

“I remember dealing with an agent one time where I came up with something different and I felt passionate about it. I asked my agent to please go run it by Vince. My agent said, ‘Okay, I will’” Bully recalled.

“Then I followed my agent for an hour, he never spoke with Vince, then he came back and said, ‘Yeah, Vince doesn’t want to do that’. I lose all the respect in the world for you. So I would much rather you tell me to my face, ‘You know what, Bubba? I don’t want to talk with Vince right now. You go do it’.”

Edge & Christian Induct The Dudley Boyz Into The WWE Hall Of Fame (Photos, Videos)

WWE’s Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony aired tonight on the WWE Network. Jerry “The King” Lawler hosted the event and was greeted with “Jerry” chants from the crowd in attendance. The Dudley Boyz were the first Superstars to be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame during the ceremony.

Edge and Christian inducted Bubba Ray and D-von Dudley. Christian stated that 5 years ago that he watched Edge get inducted into the Hall of Fame and that he knew that this day would come for him. Edge interrupted and said that Christian was trying to induct himself into the Hall of Fame. Edge joked that Christian wasn’t going in the Hall of Fame, you are inducting again. The crowd chanted “you deserve it!” at Christian.

Christian said that wasn’t what he was trying to say and brought up the Dudley Boyz. Edge poked fun at internet fans for flipping out that Paul Heyman wasn’t inducting the Dudleyz and told them to relax because mom’s macaroni and cheese is still waiting for them upstairs.

Edge stated there was two reason that they are inducting the Dudleyz:

  • We don’t owe them any money
  • We owe them a lot of receipts

Christian joked that they were the only two in the locker room that actually liked Bubba. Edge brought up ECW and Christian stated that ECW was the place that gave birth to the Dudley Boyz. Edge added that the Dudley Boyz would incite riots in ECW and helped build the company.

Edge brought up trying to build up WWE with Matt & Jeff Hardy and the The Hardys were shown in the crowd. Edge and Christian noted that the first test for the Dudley Boyz was the APA and they beat their asses. Ron Simmons was shown in the crowd and he grabbed a microphone and shouted “damn!”.

https://twitter.com/totaldivaseps/status/982411784505217024

Edge added that there is no E&C or Hardys without the Dudley Boyz. Edge joked that there were five fearless wrestlers and then Devon. Christian noted that they created TLC and that match would later become a PPV. Christian stated that they all decided that they weren’t getting paid enough for the TLC match and addressed it with Jim Ross. Jim Ross replied with “you felt like your pay was a little soft?”. Edge did his best Bubba impression and said that Bubba Ray responded with “J.R., I feel like I just got kicked in the nuts”. Edge admitted that they did get a bump in pay following that meeting.

Edge noted that the Dudley Boyz have won more Tag Team Championships than any other team in the history of this industry. Christian and Edge put on some Dudley Boyz glasses and Edge instructed Christian to get the Dudleys.

Bubba and D-von shared a hug with Edge and Christian and put on the glasses they were wearing. D-von stated that it was an honor and a privilege, but Bubba quickly interrupted and told D-von that he just says “testify!” and that was all he has to do. D-von responded that he was office now and Bubba cracked up. D-von noted that he may have gotten the tables for 20 years, but now he tells Bubba when to speak, talk and when to move. D-von told Bubba to get his ass in line because he is going first and is about to testify.

Bubba once again interrupted and said that he sometimes gets a text from the boys that reads “D-von is my producer LOL”. D-von stated that they are just glad that Bubba is not their producer. Bubba immediately responded that if he was their match might get over and started laughing. D-von claimed that he was the one that got them over when they were in the ring.

D-von brought up Hulk Hogan and said that he mesmerized him as child and made him want to become a professional wrestler. D-von added that he tried to look like Hogan, hell he had the tan. D-von admitted that he even tried to get his hair to look like Hogan’s growing, but realized later on in life they pretty much have the same hairdo. D-von brought up Roddy Piper, Macho Man, Steamboat and Andre the Giant and added that he knew at that point that he wanted to be the guy he saw on TV. D-von noted that he didn’t have a dad growing up and said that he told his sons that were in the crowd that one day they will be able look up at him being honored and say “that is my father”.

https://twitter.com/totaldivaseps/status/982413765093351425

D-von said that he could talk about his momma for about 30 minutes, not as long as MR. T, but he could go on and on. He stated that they made it through moving out of Brooklyn and moving on up like the Jeffersons and they never looked back. D-von added that he was honored and privileged to say that he loves his mother and his mom blew him a kiss in the crowd. D-von added that his sons were the reasons why he took the ass kickings that he took during his career. D-von continued that his sons are wrestling themselves and they are going to follow in the footsteps of their father and their uncle.

D-von thanked Bubba and stated that he couldn’t have done it with anyone else besides him. He added that he wasn’t just his brother in the wrestling business, but he was his brother in life and then shook his hand. D-von then said “Bubba, now you can talk” and Bubba made his way to the microphone.

Bubba said that he didn’t know if he could follow him for once. Bubba noted how important family was to them. Bubba stated that he wished his mom and dad could be here today because they would have loved it. Bubba said that he did the closest thing he possibly could and took out their in memoriam cards. He said that he was in the front row when Jimmy Snuka jumped off the steel cage in Madison Square Garden and said that he and D-von were die hard WWE/WWF fans. D-von claimed that Bubba cant say the “F word” and Bubba responded “sorry sir, that will never happen again sir”.

Bubba added that he went to go see WrestleMania 3 and as he was walking out of the arena with his dad and his uncle, his dad asked him how he liked the show. Bubba responded “that is going to be me one day”. Bubba said that his uncle was here tonight and he told him to shut up and get in the car. Bubba flaunted his HOF ring and Bubba’s uncle was shown in the crowd laughing.

Bubba stated that tonight was vindication for them for all the hard work they have done. Bubba added that they are the most proud of being the first original ECW act to be inducted into the WWE HOF. Bubba pointed out Tommy Dreamer in the crowd and he got a great reaction. Bubba thanked the entire ECW roster and every man and woman that stepped in the ring with them. He thanked Paul Heyman for listening to them when they asked to be put together as a team. They thanked Spike as well and said that he was the toughest 150 lb man in the ECW locker room. D-von thanked him for everything that he put his body though to help make the Dudley Boyz.

Bubba thanked every team that wrestled with them because they needed them to help get  over. Bubba added that the Sex Pistols “My Way” song sums up their career because they did things their way. D-von then thanked Tommy Dreamer and said that he remembers him being there when he had his tryout in ECW. D-von added that Dreamer helped him along the way so much and thanked him from the bottom of his heart. Devon added that their are so many wrestlers here tonight that he did that for and said that he loved him from the bottom of his heart. Bubba thanked Dreamer once again and then brought up the future misses Dudley, Velvet Sky. Bubba thanked her for being here tonight and his partner in life.

Bubba said that the first time he ever met Vince was at an airport in NYC. He saw Vince and Linda right behind him and said hello to them. Bubba didn’t know if Vince remembered him and Vince did and stated that he was looking forward to working with them. D-von brought up Simmons and Bradshaw and APA was shown in the crowd. D-von brought up introducing himself to Ron and Simmons kept saying his name wrong and always called him that. D-von added that APA gave them the stamp of approval to the locker room. D-von brought up the Reverend gimmick and Bubba told him to not bring that up and to wrap it up.

Bubba thanked Mae Young and claimed that she got the Dudley Boyz over more than anyone else. Bubba said that he will never forget the first night they slammed her and hit the What’s Up?” headbutt. Mae grabbed Bubba after they were done and said “hey hot shot, if you are going to slam me, you slam me like one of the boys” Bubba then called Mae Young the toughest man he has ever met in his life.

Edge, Christian, Matt Hardy and Jeff Hardy then joined the Dudley Boyz on the stage. Bubba noted that they have not been in the same place at the same time since TLC II. He added that it was the 6 of them that created their history together. Bubba noted that sometimes the wrestling business can be bitter and selfish, and said that they wouldn’t be standing here today without everybody that was on the stage right now. The Hardys, Edge & Christian and The Dudley Boyz then posed on the stage.

D-Von was about to continue to speak when the Dudley Boyz theme hit. A “producer” came out from the back and told them to wrap it up. Bubba and D-Von started arguing with the producer and then Bubba grabbed him. Bubba told D-Von to get the tables and the crowd chanted along. D-Von set up a table and the Dudleys Powerbomed him through the table as the crowd erupted. D-Von then said “oh my brother testify!” and the Dudley Boyz posed on the stage.

The Dudley Boyz Announced For WWE Hall Of Fame

D-Von … get the Hall of Fame rings!

CBS Sports announced on Monday morning that legendary tag team The Dudley Boyz are joining Bill Goldberg as members of the WWE Hall of Fame’s Class of 2018.

During their 20 year career, Bubba Ray and D-Von amassed 18 tag team title reigns across promotions such as ECW, WWE Impact Wrestling, All Japan and New Japan Pro Wrestling.

“The legacy of the Dudley Boyz is really the last of the Mohicans,” Bubba Ray told CBS Sports. “We are the last, legitimate, great tag team that you most likely will ever see; the most old school tag team that there is. I don’t think you will ever see a tag team go on to accomplish what we have accomplished, whether that’s in the WWE or any place else. We really are the last of many, many generations of great tag teams.”

“The great thing about us is we didn’t take no for an answer,” D-Von said. “We just went out there and did it when nobody thought we could. That was the biggest thing that Bubba and I had to face in our career because, back in ECW, we weren’t really supposed to be an act to be reckoned with.”

The 2018 WWE Hall of Fame Ceremony takes place during WrestleMania 34 weekend on Friday night, April 6th from New Orleans.

Backstage News On The Dudleys’ Departure, Daniel Bryan Rumor Killer

– The Dudley Boyz recently parted ways with WWE after previously agreeing to terms for new contracts. PWInsider.com reports that both sides had came to an agreement, but not yet signed the contracts. They reportedly agreed on money and neither side has heat with the other, but there’s no word on exactly why the deal didn’t happen. They Dudleyz are still operating their Team 3D Wrestling Academy in Kissimmee, Florida.

Dave Meltzer reported in the latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter that a Forbes article inaccurately claimed WWE would allow Bryan to compete again. Meltzer reports that while outside doctors did clear Bryan, WWE’s doctor Joseph Maroon is the one whose decision matters to the company, and Dr. Maroon says it’s a no-go. Bryan would have to change Dr. Maroon’s mind in order for anything to change regarding his WWE status. Bryan’s WWE contract expires in 2018.

Dudley Boyz Teasing Retirement Tonight On RAW

Are the Dudley Boyz on their way out of WWE?

Following last night’s SummerSlam pay-per-view, Bubba Ray Dudley sent out a cryptic tweet teasing that something “very interesting” will be occurring tonight on RAW. On Monday afternoon, D-Von broke the news that it’s time for he and Bubba Ray to “say goodbye.” Bubba Ray thanked the WWE Universe for a great year.

Charlotte’s Impressive PPV Streak, SmackDown Spoilers Tonight, More

– Reddit user bootybootybootyrocki noted that Extreme Rules will be Charlotte’s 11th straight PPV match – the longest streak of PPV appearances by a woman in WWE history:

“During the uni-branded PPV era of 03-07, I’ve only counted the PPVs of each brand. For example, if a particular woman was on Raw, only Raw PPVs will be factored into a streak, unless she happened to wrestle on a SmackDown PPV, in which case that will be added to the streak. The Big 4 PPVs featured all brands, so those were always factored. Even with all that in account, Charlotte still holds the longest streak. I have to imagine, barring injuries or some craziness with the title, even if Charlotte loses on Sunday, she will get a rematch at Money in the Bank, making it her 12th straight PPV.”

– Tonight’s WWE TV tapings will be held at the Bon Secours Wellness Arena in Greenville, SC. Confirmed as of this writing is MizTV with Cesaro, Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens. As always, we’ll have live coverage of the tapings here at SEScoops.

Devon Talks About Retirement, Feuding With The New Day

Devon Dudley spoke with The Philly Voice this week to promote Sunday’s WWE TLC pay-per-view. When asked about the possibility of retirement, the legendary tag team wrestler said he and Bubba Ray will continue to put people through tables as long as they’re physically able to.

“Brother, everybody thought we were done 10 years ago and we surprised the world. As far as I’m concerned, we’ll be 90 years old and still putting people through tables – whether it be at WrestleMania or an old age home – we’ll still be going on and on. It doesn’t matter, brother. We’re gonna rock from now until the day they tell us we can’t do it no more. And when I say ‘they,’ I mean the Good Lord above.”

He also had some very positive things to say about the top dogs in today’s WWE tag team division, The New Day. Devon admits there things about the New Day that really piss him off, but he loves being in the ring with them and they plan on making history once again this Sunday.

“Love The New Day. Although I wanna put their behinds through a table, love them. They’re exciting, they’re new, they’re doing things Bubba and I would do without the dancing and the twerking. They love to get under people’s skin. Listen, this is no different than what Bubba and I used to do when we were trying to make a name for ourselves. These guys are going out there and doing it. Do they piss us off and get us angry? Absolutely. Do we realize that? Absolutely, because that was us at one point in time.

“New Day is an up and coming tag team. They’re doing extremely well. It’s only a matter of time before we take those titles away from them, so we’re going to let them have their day in the sun, do what they gotta do. Again, they’re an extraordinary tag team. We’re very, very happy to be in the ring with them, and for us to kick their butts, for them to kick ours, and we’re gonna make history. Just like we did with Edge and Christian and the Hardy Boys, we’re gonna be doing that with not only The New Day, but we’re gonna be doing that with the Usos, we’re gonna do it with every one of those tag teams in theWWE right now. We’re gonna make sure we go out there and just tear it down. We’re gonna continue where we left off.”

Bubba & Devon Dudley Say WWE Needs To Have The Rock At WrestleMania 32

The Dudley Boyz were recently interviewed by Talk Sport’s Gorilla Nation podcast and explained why they feel WWE must have The Rock at WrestleMania 32.

Bubba says in order to get the 100,000+ tickets sold that Jim Ross and others have predicted, they need some serious star power.

Here’s what he had to say:

“If you’re going to try and put 100,000 people into the AT&T Stadium and have the biggest Wrestlemania of all time, to me that’s an all hands on deck show,” Bubba said. “Rocky, [Steve] Austin — whoever you can possibly get to be there to out 100,000 people in there.”

“You have Rocky on the show, and that means more people want to buy the show, more people want to come and see the show — bigger payoffs for everybody.”

Related: The Rock Talks About Getting Back In The Ring At WrestleMania 32

Devon predicted that no matter who gets in the ring to face The Rock, the match will get the job done. He mentioned Triple H as one possible opponent for The Great One:

“At the end of the day, it is business. Having guys like that with their superstar name power works for the show and is best for business, I say great,” Devon said.

“Rocky versus anybody is going to be entertaining. Rocky and Hunter — yes, we’ve seen it before, but those guys will definitely put on a match that’ll tear the house down.”

The Dudley Boyz Talk About A Potential TLC Match At WrestleMania 32

The Dudley Boyz recently appeared on talkSPORT’s Gorilla Position podcast. Here’s what Bubba Ray said about the possibility of them competing in a TLC match at WrestleMania 32:

“It’s such a double-edged sword. How, when it comes to a TLC match, for me and D-Von – how can you possibly top anything we’ve done before? I mean, our TLC matches are talked about in wrestling circles as some of the best wrestling matches in Wrestlemania history. So if we can’t top it, I’m not sure we want to do it. However, if we had the right guys to do it with, we could probably come close to topping it. Being older, smarter and better storytellers, we might be able to pull out a TLC match with more of an in-depth story than some of the other matches.”

Devon said The Usos and The New Day are the teams they would want to face in a TLC match. Bubba added:

“Asking us right now we’d go for New Day and the Usos. You have to have such chemistry with the other guys you’re in there with where you know what they’re thinking, they know what we’re thinking, we all know what the match is backwards and forwards. I’m a little bit old school so I don’t pull back the curtain too much, but if you really, really knew what goes on a TLC match behind the curtains, you’d be shocked.

The Dudleys acknowledge that this is their final big run and they plan to put as many people through tables as possible. Devon said:

“Wrestlemania is almost six months away so we’ve got time. We’ll see what happens. We knew that coming back this was going to be our last hurrah. And of course, knowing that, we have to go out with a bang. We are going to go out and have as much fun as we possibly can and put as many people as we possibly can through a table. We’re going to take over from where we left off ten years ago.”

Bubba Ray Dudley On Possibility Of Velvet Sky To WWE, His Own Return & More

WWE Superstar Bubba Ray Dudley recently spoke with Scott Fishman of Channel Guide Magazine to promote this Sunday’s WWE Hell In A Cell pay-per-view in Los Angeles, California. Below are some of the highlights from the interview.

On how his WWE return started: “The very first person I spoke to was Road Dogg. He was the one who reached out saying, ‘Hey Bubba, would you be interested in coming to the Royal Rumble? I told him yes. I always had a great working relationship with him in the ring and a good working relationship outside of the ring. Me and D-Von won our first WWE tag team championship from the New Age Outlaws. He got in touch with me. That’s how it all started. It was pretty funny because I think a lot of people within WWE were shocked by the reaction. I think they all thought, ‘Oh its Philly, so he’ll get a nice little reaction.’ I didn’t think they were expecting anything like that.”

On WWE now vs. then: “It has been great and the locker room has been great, but the locker room was great back in the day, too. The only difference now really is the guys are much younger than me and D-Von. They’ve come up different ways in the business. Back in the Attitude Era you had guys that came up more the old school way, who were able to go out there and do what they wanted to get themselves over. This is as opposed to now where creatively WWE has much more of a presence and wants their wrestlers to do their job a certain way. As far as the locker room operates and the chemistry within the locker room, it’s phenomenal. It has been nothing but positive.”

On his girlfriend Velvet Sky possibly joining WWE: “It’s no secret that me and Velvet [Sky] are together. If you go on Twitter I think the entire Twitter-verse would like to see that. She is probably the most over female wrestler out there that has never been in WWE. She looks phenomenal. I think the fans and the WWE Universe would love to see her in a WWE ring. Who knows? Maybe it will happen one day.”
