    Roger Allen Wade once sang ‘If You’re Gonna Be Dumb, You Gotta Be Tough’. The Dudley Brothers were among the toughest ECW had to offer. They may seem foolish, but the real fool is the person who dares say it to their faces.

    The inspiration for the inspiration were the Carlson brothers. All three played ice hockey for the Johnstown Jets in Pennsylvania for the 1974-1975 season. Steve and Jeff Carlson would portray parodies of themselves.

    The Hanson Brothers first appeared in the 1977 movie Slap Shot. They are recruited to the struggling Charleston Chiefs simply because they were cheap.

    The immature brothers used a violent goon style of playing that attracts fans and potentially saves the team from bankruptcy.

    There was an inside joke that the plot of the movie reflected Extreme Championship Wrestling. They had been struggling as the NWA-affiliated Eastern Championship Wrestling.

    The Pennsylvanian promotion also had to adopt a more violent style of entertainment to potentially save themselves from bankruptcy. This made the Hansons perfect mascots for their brand.

    The Dudley Brothers were a combination of ideas by multiple people. Although Raven and promoter Paul Heyman disagrees over which of them created the original concept. The Dudleys would become as varied as the people who created them.

    The Dudleys had long-unwashed hair and wore glasses held together with tape, in tribute to the Hansons. They all wore tie-dye shirts and denim.

    They were originally billed as being from “The Hills of Charleston, Pennsylvania”. This later changed to the even more fictional “Dudleyville”.

    Their backstory was that they were all half-brothers. Big Poppa Dudley was a travelling salesman who had father illegitimate sons all over America. No effort was made to ensure the Dudleys held any kind of family resemblance beyond their clothing.

    The original trio debuted in June 1995. They normally consisted of a primary tag team and an enforcer. The lineup kept changing due to genuine injuries and members leaving the company.

    It was not long before they were recruited into Raven’s Nest. Every member of the Nest served as lackeys to Raven.

    Their only purpose was to keep the ECW World Heavyweight Championship on their leader, and to eliminate anyone who dared to try and take it away from him.

    The arrival of two specific brothers changed their destiny. Buh Buh Ray Dudley was so popular that the entire group turned babyface.

    Then they had a long feud with D’Von Dudley. Then Buh Buh and D’Von united to form “The Dudley Boyz”. They established themselves as the new leaders, and the entire stable became more serious.

    The group officially disbanded when the Dudley Boyz left for the WWF. The various members were allowed to keep using their ring names in other companies.

    They were unaware that the WWF acquired the rights to the names when they gained ECW’s assets. They learned this the hard way after the most successful three received legal Cease & Desist letters after leaving the company in 2005.

     

    The Dudley Brothers – BIG DICK DUDLEY

    Alexander Rizzo was from Paterson, New Jersey. He trained under Johnny Rodz, alongside Taz, and his future wife Donna Adamo (Electra).

    He made his in-ring debut in 1986. He gained early experience with World Wrestling Council in Puerto Rico before touring the East Coast indie scene.

    He joined ECW just as it seceded from the NWA. Rizzo created the Big Dick Dudley character with help from Taz and Tommy Dreamer. Big Dick was based on Steve Hanson, the oldest of the Hansons.

    The largest Dudley was the original leader. He would fight anyone for any reason, including fans in the crowd. He loved to demolish opponents with his choke-bomb finisher, the Total Penetration.

    Commentator Joey Styles would often tell viewers that he was from “The Twisted Steel Section of Dudleyville”. Even though he was the one who made all the plans, he often served as backup to his brothers. This became even more true when the Dudley Boyz took over as leaders.

    Dick had many arguments with Heyman over how he was being used. He jumped ship to Xtreme Pro Wrestling. XPW had been created largely to spite Paul Heyman and ECW.

    Dick quickly became a top star. He won the XPW World Heavyweight Championship in a match where he had to be handcuffed despite already being blinding from past clashes with the champion. Moments after the match had begun, he broke the chain on his cuffs and removed the patches over his eyes.

    He also became a top heel in WWC. They were reluctant to put any titles on him because his frequent tours were so short.

    He kept up the Dudley tradition of whipping up crowds to the point of mini riot. He also toured indie promotions in the northeast, winning multiple heavyweight titles.

    Dick had been in four auto accidents within a two-year period after leaving ECW. The last one left him with a neck injury that effectively ended his career. In May 2002, he was found dead in his home.

    According to his ex-wife, he called his sister for advice after experiencing stomach pains and an inability to urinate.

    He put off going to the hospital to see if the condition would resolve itself. Rizzo then collapsed on the floor and died.

    His cause of death was determined to be heart and kidney failure brought on from his painkiller addiction. He was 34.

    DUDLEY DUDLEY

    Jeff Bradley was born in San Antonio, Texas, and was raised in Brandon, Florida. He developed his love of wrestling from watching live events in the Fort Homer Hesterly Armory. Bradley trained under Joe and Dean Malenko and was one of the last students to learn from Hiro Matsuda.

    Bradly made his in-ring debut in 1993. The Malenkos helped him to get bookings. He spent two years with the World Wrestling Federation as an enhancement talent. He competed as “Charlie Hunter”.

    He was repackaged as “Dudley Dudley” in ECW. He was based on Dave Hanson, the only Hanson brother to use his real name.

    DD claimed to be the only true Dudley because his mother was one too. It was purposefully never clarified if he was the product of incest.

    DD would become the mouthpiece of the group. He was also half of the primary tag team. He chose to leave ECW and take a break from wrestling.

    Bradley returned to the business a year later under his real name. He toured promotions across the world. He competed in Japan, Austria, Hungary, Africa, and South America.

    He returned to Florida and competed in Insane Pro Wrestling as “The O.D.D.” (The Original Dudley Dudley). Bradley also returned to his old wrestling school to help train wrestlers.

    His students have included Kane and Molly Holly. After this, he taught at the School of Hard Knocks run by Steve Keirn.

    Bradley competed in WWC for a while as Bad Boy Bradley. After this, he began touring the world again, beginning with the United Kingdom and Ireland. He had his biggest success with ECW in Austria.

    He retired in 2013 after competing in the Malenko Memorial Cup hosted by Definitive Wrestling International for the second time.

    LIL’ SNOT DUDLEY

    Anthony LoMonaco was born in Copiague, New York. He relocated to Tennessee to train at a camp run by Smoky Mountain Wrestling in 1993. He began competing as Anthony Michaels.

    He also competed as the masked “Fire” of The Infernos tag team. He mainly put over babyfaces in both roles. LoMonaco briefly formed a two-man band with his roommate Chris Jericho named “Slippery Nipple”.

    He was packaged as “Lil’ Snot Dudley” in ECW. He was based on Jeff Hanson, the youngest of the three Hansons. While Jeff reportedly pleasured himself in the movies too often, Snot picked his nose almost constantly.

    As the smallest member of the group, his role was to gain sympathy from crowds before his bigger brothers came to the rescue.

    Snot became the first Dudley to leave the group. ECW claimed he had suffered a broken pelvis after taking a Superbomb from The Pitbulls. In reality, he suffered the injury in a jet-ski accident.

    After recovering from his injury, Snot competed around Florida. He eventually moved further north. He mainly competed in tag team matches before finally retiring in 2020.

    CHUBBY DUDLEY

    Bay Ragni was born in Upper Darby Township, Pennsylvania. He made his in-ring debut in 1991. He first competed in ECW as “E.Z. Ryder”. He left the company in 1993 but was brought back two years later.

    Chubby Dudley was an obese Dudley Brother. It was a strange casting as he was the lightest member for much of his time there.

    He always had food stains on his clothes and carried snack foods wherever he went. While the other Dudleys ran towards brawls, he often ran away from them.

    He rarely ever had a match. This was one of the reasons for his frequent arguments with Heyman. Chubby left the company in frustration. The storyline reason behind his departure was that D’Von Dudley had driven him out of the company.

    Ragni had launched Liberty All-Star Wrestling just before this run. He used the skills he learned in ECW to better serve his company.

    For example, Taz and Dreamer had been training him as a manager. He would act as a manager, referee, a commissioner and even a wrestler within his promotiom.

    Ragni ran it until it closed in 2002. In 2022, he started his on YouTube channel where he live reacts ECW shows with other former stars.

    DANCES WITH DUDLEY

    Adolfo Bermudez was born in Oklahoma. He made his wrestling debut in 1992. All his characters would reflect his native-American heritage.

    He started his career in International World Class Championship Wrestling. Competing as “White Cloud”, he was a fixture in the tag team division with Dancing Wolf (Al Farat). Known as The Sioux War Party, they held the company’s tag team championship for over a year.

    Bermudez joined ECW as “Dances With Dudley”. The name was a parody of the critically panned movie Dances With Wolves. The first native-American Dudley was billed as being from Cheyenne, Oklahoma. This makes him the first Dudley to be from a genuine location.

    Dances was the replacement for Snot. He and Dudley Dudley were a mid-card tag team with average success. He had better luck when DD was replaced with Buh Buh Ray Dudley. They broke away from Raven’s Nest and become more serious contenders for the tag titles. But they failed to claim the gold.

    He suffered a genuine leg injury during an event. He then served as a manager sitting at ringside in a wheelchair. Dances would become the second Dudley to leave after a dispute with Heyman (Big Dick left later). Like with Chubby, the storyline explanation was that D’Von had driven him out.

    Dances completed a tour with Big Japan Pro-Wrestling. All his matches were tag team matches where he partnered with other Americans.

    He spent the rest of his career touring indie promotions in the U.S. He competed almost exclusively in tag team matches. He would adopt the new ring name “Chief Dudley”. Chief would receive a lot of praise from Long Island Wrestling Federation promoter Bobby Lombardi.

    THE DUDLEY BOYZ

    Mark LoMonaco (no relation to Anthony) joined the group as “Bubba Ray Dudley”. His charisma helped elevate the entire stable. Devon Hughes then became a threat in the firm of “D’Von Dudley”.

    After their feud ended, they united to form The Dudley Boyz. They would go on to become the most decorated tag team of all time. They were inducted into TNA’s Hall of Fame in 2014, and then WWE’s HoF in 2018.

    JOEL GERTNER

    Promoters often say that the industry doesn’t owe anybody anything. Heyman said that if anyone was owed the opportunity to try and make it, it was Joel Gertner.

    Gertner was born in Brooklyn, New York. He made his wrestling debut as “Joey Jaguar” when he was 17. Jaguar would insult the babyfaces and then get beaten up by them in retaliation.

    He was then offered a try-out with ECW. Shane Douglas suggested that he keep his old gimmick of antagonising babyfaces and getting beaten up for it.

    It proved to be an instant hit. Gertner was offered a bigger role. He had one year left to finish his degree at the prestigious Cornell University. He abandoned it to avoid missing this opportunity with ECW.

    Gertner was initially a colour commentator appointed by Bill Alfonson to counter Joey Styles’ “biased” commentating.

    His popularity led to his role increasing. He eventually became the personal announcer and manager for the Dudley Brothers. Gertner gave himself the nickname “Studley Dudley”.

    After the Dudley Boyz lost the ECW World Tag Team Championships at the first pay-per-view, Gertner took the Total Elimination finisher from The Eliminators. He would wear a customised neck brace to sell the injury for most of his career.

    After the Dudley Boyz left the company, Gertner returned to the commentary desk. He turned babyface to feud with Cyrus the Virus.

    It culminated in them having a match at Anarchy Rulz. While adorned in Kamala’s body paint, “The Ugandan Stud-muffin” picked up the win.

    Heyman claims he had plans for Gertner to build up a winning streak by fluke, but the company closed before any future matches could happen.

    He appeared in both ECW video games. They were criticised for being reskins of the earlier WWF Attitude. Gertner used a fantasy move set that previously belonged to Paul Bearer in Attitude.

    In Hardcore Revolution, he and Styles are unlocked by winning the Acclaim Championship in Career Mode. In Anarchy Rulz, he is unlocked by winning the Heavyweight Belt Tour with Mikey Whipwreck on the Hard Difficulty setting. In the second game, he provides commentary alongside Styles.

    After ECW closed, Gertner resurfaced in the newly launched NWA-TNA Wrestling to introduce the Rainbow Express.

    He would then make infrequent appearances throughout the industry, usually at ECW reunion events. He had a minor role at WWE’s ECW One Night Stand.

    Gertner is a promoter for MXW Pro Wrestling in Connecticut. In 2012, he began announcing for Douglas’ Extreme Rising promotion.

    In April 2014, he MC-ed for a Spanish language event held in the ECW arena. Then in 2016, he started commentating for Wildkat Sports and Entertainment in New Orleans.

    He was inducted into the New England Pro Wrestling Hall of Fame in 2023. The next year, he lost a match to Alfonso at a Battleground Championship Wrestling event.

    SIGN GUY DUDLEY

    Lou D’Angeli was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He started out as a “fan” who was obsessed with the Dudleys.

    He dressed as one of them and always held up signs supporting them. Then it was revealed he was the newest half-brother “Sign Guy Dudley”.

    SGD’s gimmick was simple. He mainly communicated through homemade signs. There was already a regular fan who had become informally known as “Sign Guy”.

    He was in the front row of every event at the ECW arena with a large sign. He responded to the new character by bringing one that read “The Original Sign Guy”.

    Raven decided to turn this into a subtle feud. He had SGD carry a sign that read “The Original Original Sign Guy”. As expected, Sign Guy responded with one that read “The Original Original Original Sign Guy”.

    This kept escalating until Raven got a bed sheet and put the word “Original” on it as many times as they could. The Dudley Brothers unfurled it in front of Sign Guy. After that, Sign Guy stopped bringing his own signs to events.

    When the Dudley Boyz left ECW, SGD was repackaged as “Lou E. Dangerously”. It was a parody of Heyman, with the name referring to his previous “Paul E. Dangerously” persona.

    He helped Cyrus the Virus manage Hot Commodity. Cyrus would insist on confusing him with Heyman. Lou then managed his own version of the Dangerous Alliance.

    Dangerously would also appear in the ECW Anarchy Rulz video game. He is the fourth member of the Dangerous Alliance stable.

    He is unlocked by beating the Heavyweight Belt Tour with Billy Wiles on the Hard difficulty setting. He uses Taz’ move set from the previous game.

    D’Angeli would make sporadic appearances all over the U.S. indie scene. He also made two uncredited appearances on WWE programming.

    He appeared at the second One Night Stand PPV to help Rob Van Dam celebrate winning the WWE Heavyweight Championship. He then later made a cameo as one of MVP’s entourage on an episode of Saturday Night’s Main Event.

    After leaving ECW, he began a career in marketing. His main work was with Cirque De Soleil in Las Vegas, Nevada. He has worked for WWE, Resistance Pro Wrestling, and Impact Wrestling in multiple off-camera roles.

    JENNA JAMESON

    Jenna Massoli was born in Las Vegas, Nevada. She tried to escape a troubled childhood by chasing a career in adult entertainment.

    She created the stage name “Jenna Jameson” in reference to her favourite brand of whisky. She would go on to become so famous in her field that she transcended mediums.

    Heyman himself is unsure over how he got Jameson involved with ECW. Someone reached out to her and a deal was made.

    She made her first appearance as a valet for the Dudley Boyz at Hardcore Heaven 1997. Jameson would make a few more appearances for ECW as an announcer, including at Living Dangerously 1998.

    In May 1998, Jameson featured in a video package introducing Val Venis. Venis was an adult film star who had chosen to enter the WWF as a wrestler.

    They pretended to do an adult movie parody. Bruce Pritchard has alleged that they filmed something more graphic that has never been broadcast.

    He claims that the original tape is still in the WWF vault. However, when Jameson and Venis were asked about this, they were unsure what “extra footage” Pritchard was referring to.

    Jameson would become an entrepreneur withing the adult entertainment industry. She has produced everything from movies, documentaries, television shows, books, websites, video games, and even her own pleasure devices.

    She stopped performing in 2008 and ultimately retired from the industry in 2025. Jameson claims to have converted to Christianity and is now teaching about the harsh realities of the industry she left. When asked about ECW, she says she remembers her time their fondly.

    LITTLE SPIKE DUDLEY

    Matt Hyson was introduced as “Little Spike Dudley”. He was the smallest member, but also the most popular behind the Dudley Boyz.

    All his battles saw him as an underdog trying to overcome larger opponents. He joined the Dudley Boyz in WWE and won multiple titles. He retired to focus on raising his children.

    “BUSH-DUDLEYS”

    The Sheepherders earned their reputations as one of the toughest tag teams in wrestling. They reached their peak popularity as the kid-friendly comedy act, “The Bushwhackers”.

    The New Zealand natives made a one-night appearance in ECW as “Cousin Butch Dudley” and “Cousin Luke Dudley”.

    As you may have guessed, they were the first Dudley cousins instead of being half-brothers. They were supposed to face Dreamer and The Sandman. They were ambushed by the Dudley Boyz, who then replaced them in the match.

    SCHMUCK DUDLEY

    After Snot recovered from his jet-ski accident, he began competing for Future of Wrestling in Florida. He eventually formed a tag team with Jeff Roth, who became “Smhmuck Dudley”.

    The first Dudley to be created outside of ECW, and there not an official Dudley brother. They dropped the Dudley gimmick when the Dudley Boyz went to the WWF. They would win multiple tag titles around the Florida area.

    PSYCHO SAM DUDLEY

    Sam Couch was born in Lansing, Kansas. He was trained by Crusher Verdu and made his debut in 1980 as Sam Cody. He mainly competed in the indies, although he did work matches as an enhancement talent for WCW.

    Cody had high-profile losses to Sting and Ron Simmons among others. He also featured in a WWF sport where he “suffered career-ending injuries” against Kamala.

    In November 2000, he formed a tag team with Big Dick Dudley. “Psycho Sam Dudley” and Big Dick competed in USA Pro Wrestling for a short time.

    Big Dick suffered his neck injury soon after. Psycho Sam used the gimmick until it became clear that Big Dick would not be returning.

    “BACKSEAT DUDLEYS”

    Johnny Kashmere (John Kashmer) and Trent Acid (Michael Verdi) had their breakthrough as a tag team. The “Backseat Boyz” were a parody of the pop band Backstreet Boys.

    They made a one-off appearance on an episode of WWF Sunday Night Heat in April 2001. Dressed as Dudleyz, the pair taunted the new stable X-Factor.

    Albert came out alone and drove both men through tables. Later that night, the actual Dudley Boyz beat the other members of X-Factor in a tag team match. The “Backseat Dudleys” were never mentioned again.

    The Backseat Boyz went on to become a highly successful tag team on the indie circuit. Their run ended abruptly with Verdi’s sudden death in 2010.

    He had been featured heavily in the documentary Card Subject To Change. It charted his recovery from heavy drug addiction.

    It ended with a footnote admitting that Verdi had died from a drug overdose before the documentary was completed. Kashmere continues to compete at the time of writing.

    STACY KIEBLER

    Stacy Kiebler was introduced to wrestling through her boyfriend. She won a World Championship Wrestling competition to recruit a new Nitro Girl. She quickly became a manager and was one of only two women hired by the WWE when they bought out WCW.

    Kiebler was placed with the Dudleyz as their valet. She made an instant bad impression on Bubba. He wasn’t keen on her because she had never learned to wrestle.

    One day while they were in makeup, Kiebler stood in front of Bubba to use his mirror and then walked off without saying a word.

    This act of disrespect wound Bubba up. D-Von needed to convince him that having a beautiful woman in their corner would help improve their marketability.

    She was briefly renamed “Stacy Dudley” and was referred to as “The First Dudley Sister”. She reportedly hated the name change and this part of the gimmick was dropped. She then carried the moniker “The Duchess of Dudleyville”.

    Her entire role was to distract the Dudleyz’ opponents. She also engaged in a feud with her former friend Torrie Wilson.

    She attempted to distract Jeff Hardy at WrestleMania X8 by flashing her thong at him. Jeff spanked her and then forcibly kissed her. The distraction worked, but defending champions Billy & Chuck retained the titles.

    The Dudley Boyz were separated in the first Brand Division. They had one last chance to stay together by challenging for the World Tag Team Championship.

    Stacy attempted to distract Billy, but he was uninterested. Kiebler felt slighted and then attacked Billy with a title belt. This caused a disqualification and the Dudleyz were forced to split. Kiebler seemed indifferent, so they drove her through a table.

    Even though she was no longer affiliated with the Dudleyz, Reverend D-Von was in her corner at Backlash. Bubba supported her opponent Trish Stratus. After Trish retained the title, she had no further association with the Dudleyz.

    Keibler would alternate between wrestling and managing for the rest of her WWE career. She began phasing out wrestling as her television career started to take off. She left for good in 2005, only returning to accept her Hall of Fame induction in 2023.

    “COUSIN” STEVE SCHIRRIPA

    Steve Schirripa is a veteran actor. He mainly played supporting and guest roles. He is often typecast as a “Goomba”, a slang term for hired muscle typically of Italian American decent.

    He had a recurring joke where he appeared in sitcoms as a guest character who was mistaken for being a member of the mafia. His biggest role was as Sgt. Anthony Abetemarco in Blue Bloods.

    In February 2007, he made a few appearances in TNA Wrestling as himself. Team 3D claimed Schirripa was a cousin. He aided them in their feud against Latin American Xchange.

    BROTHER DEVINE

    John Parsonage was born in Merritt, British Columbia, Canada. He and his friends used to host their own wrestling shows in their backyards.

    Parsonage met Bret Hart while serving with the Canadian Infantry. This inspired him to be trained by the Hart family and become a wrestler.

    His early career was hindered due to nerve damage in his shoulder. Yet he never gave up. He got his big break as “Johnny Devine”, a member of Team Canada in TNA Wrestling.

    His resilience was proven again when he was stabbed in the stomach outside a bar. Despite having his gall bladder and part of his intestine removed, Devine returned to wrestling six weeks later.

    In 2007, the Motor City Machine Guns cost Team 3D a dream match against the Steiners. This provoked Team 3D to turn heel for the first time in their TNA runs. The Guns managed to win the grudge match. Team 3D then went on a crusade to destroy the X-Division.

    Team 3D had appeared to kidnap Devine. Before the Guns came to the rescue, Ray advised them that there was a traitor in the X-Division.

    The Guns attacked Team 3D, only to be attacked by Devine. This revealed himself as “The X-Division Traitor”. He had joined Team 3D and was now called “Brother Devine”.

    The X-Division Champion Jay Lethal got dragged into the feud. Team 3D literally stole the title belt from him and gave it to Devine. This prompted TNA management to give Devine a title shot, which he won with the help of his new allies.

    Team 3D battled Lethal and the Guns in a long series of stipulation matches, winning almost every single one. Lethal usually beat Devine in non-title matches.

    Both teams fought for the title in an Ultimate X match at Final Resolution 2008. They played hard into the concept that Devon and Ray were too heavy to climb the overhead cables. They even the odds by injuring the Guns’ hands, meaning they couldn’t climb the cables either.

    The match is best remembered for a spot where Team 3D attempted to use a ladder after the referee was incapacitated.

    The babyfaces tipped the ladder while Devine was at the top, and he bounced off some tables stacked outside of the ring. Devon still used the ladder to retain the title on Devin’s behalf.

    The feud ended at Against All Odds in a Street Fight with multiple stipulations. It introduced a spot where Lethal knocked out all three opponents with a fan-made sign.

    He removed the card to reveal a street sign hidden within. The Guns were taken out of the match early. This essentially meant that Lethal won a handicap match.

    If Team 3D had won, the X-Division would have been disbanded and the title retired. All members of the X-Division (excluding Devine) would have been fired.

    But Lethal regained his title by scoring the winning pin. And it meant that Team 3D were now bound by a new restriction.

    Over the next month, all three members of Team 3D were required to weigh below 275lbs before every match or lose by forfeit.

    Every match would be against Curry Man and Shark Boy. If either member was over the weight limit, their partner had to compete in a handicap match.

    When both members missed the limit, they forfeited the match. Team 3D eventually won a match where their careers were on the line to get the stipulation quashed.

    For unknown reasons, Devine did not have a single match during this time even though he was subject to the weight limit.

    Devine quietly separated from Team 3D. He then became a combination of his past gimmicks, carrying multiple props to the ring.

    Still being the “X-Division Traitor”, he was not allowed to perform the same type of high-flying moves that his opponents used.

    He left TNA and entered semi-retirement as he was no longer having fun in the company. He is still heavily involved with the Canadian indie scene, but largely with the production side of things.

    TNT

    Terrence and Terrell Hughes are the twin sons of D-Von Dudley. They were trained by their father and Bubba at the Team 3D Academy of Professional Wrestling and Sports Entertainment.

    They made their debuts in TNA Wrestling helping their father battle Bubba (now known as “Bully Ray”). They were next involved with a storyline where they aligned with Pope Dinero against their father. This proved to be a ruse when they helped Devon to defeat Pope.

    Using the Dudley surname, the twins mainly competed for Booker T’s Reality of Wrestling promotion. They also worked for All Elite Wrestling briefly.

    There have been many other unofficial Dudleys in various indie promotions around the world. It is impossible to trace them all as verifiable records have not been kept. It is known that someone known as “Dog Puke Dudley” competed for Coastal Championship Wrestling twice in 2011.

    His first appearance was soon after D-Von Dudley appeared for the promotion. In his second match, he teamed with someone called “Urkel Dudley”. This is all we know for sure.

    D-Von often said there are three certainties in life; death, taxes, Dudleys. The Dudley Brothers are a huge family. Who knows how many more surprises are still lurking in Dudleyville.
