The Dudley Boyz were never supposed to be the most successful tag team of all time. When a family of bumbling, bespectacled Dudleys debuted in ECW during summer 1995, they were a goofy alternative to the Philadelphia-based organization’s more hardcore fare. But in November of that year, the Dudley clan gained a bruiser in Bubba Ray.

Bubba Ray and his “brother from another mother” D-Von ran roughshod over the ECW tag team division throughout the duration of their four-year run with the organization. They won the ECW World Tag Team Championship an astounding eight times, and became the vilest villains in the company’s history.
