WWE rumored to be in talks with the Dudley Boys for a comeback run
 
Quote:

According to a report by PWInsider, there is some movement on both ends to get Bubba Ray, also known as Bully Ray in TNA, and Devon back in WWE sometime soon. Additionally, the report states there is mutual interest.
Outside of their return for the recent Bound for Glory ppv, Devon had been done with TNA for around a year while TNA wasn't willing to renew Bubba/Bully's contract when it expired a couple of months ago.

Chewy 10-19-2014 09:39 PM

First thought: "More Attitude Era throwbacks on a part time contract? Meh."

Second thought: "Wait...they have pyro in their entrance! Sweet!"

JimmyMess 10-19-2014 09:39 PM

DEVON, GET THE TABLES!!!!

Anybody Thrilla 10-19-2014 09:46 PM

I can't think of any exciting programs for them, but I will say that they look better now than they ever have.

SlickyTrickyDamon 10-19-2014 09:49 PM

Harper/Rowan, The Ascension, Usos,

Bad News Gertner 10-19-2014 09:54 PM

Yes in a fucking heartbeat. Love the Dudleyz.

Razzamajazz 10-19-2014 10:00 PM

I said "exciting", but I guess the Harper/Rowan thing could work. If the Dudleyz went over in that program though, I'd be pretty sad.

#1-norm-fan 10-19-2014 10:01 PM

I would quite enjoy The Dudleyz feuding with Stardust and Goldust for the titles.

The promos alone would be awesome.

Anybody Thrilla 10-19-2014 10:04 PM

That could be alright.

SlickyTrickyDamon 10-19-2014 10:25 PM

Does Ray own Bully Ray?

JimmyMess 10-19-2014 10:27 PM

I assume so, TNA doesn't seem to think about owning names.

ron the dial 10-19-2014 10:42 PM

i would definitely like to see this.

Would love if the Dudleys, Hardys, and Angle all found their way back to the WWE.

Anybody Thrilla 10-20-2014 01:12 AM

Angle has to be the one to beat Rusev, or we're all wasting our time there.

road doggy dogg 10-20-2014 12:12 PM

Dudleyz in TV-PG would be kinda meh. But obvs would mark the F out (see what I did there) to see them back on TV

drave 10-20-2014 01:06 PM

They should come back as the Dudley Boyz - urban camo, glasses and Spike.

Even the Bubba Ray stutter would be fun. Pair stuttering Bubba with tourettes Goldust would make things hilarious.

CSL 10-20-2014 01:08 PM

if Bubba got a chance to have a bit of a run with his heel TNA character, that could produce some good/fun stuff. As a team, I don't really see it too much

Big Vic 10-20-2014 01:10 PM

Wearing Spike Dudley?

Yeah, like wearing his severed head on a chain around his neck like a charm.

Evil Vito 10-20-2014 01:16 PM

<font color=goldenrod>With all Bubba accomplished on his own in TNA, I don't really think he'd be too eager to go back to WWE as a team full-time. At most I could see a brief 3 month return run sort of like the Outlaws had. Would probably end in a HOF induction and putting people through tables.</font>

Innovator 10-20-2014 01:24 PM

Considering they went into business for themselves at Bound for Glory trying to get attention from NJPW, WWE is probably the last place for them.

CSL 10-20-2014 01:32 PM

don't blame them tbh, if there's still a spot for Archer and Harry Smith there, there's definitely room for the Dudleys

The nostalgia for a Dudleys return will have limited legs, a decent run for Bubba/Bully would be more interesting to me.

I don't know. When he was on the Opie & Jim Norton Show a few months back they asked him what would he do if Vince called him tomorrow, and I believe his words along the lines of "in a heartbeat"

JimmyMess 10-20-2014 06:33 PM

So I figure he'd be willing to do a full blown schedule.

KaosDarksol 10-20-2014 06:49 PM

Can't wait to see people get put through some tables

Omg surfer dudleys would be all kinds of good. Change their names to The Dude-ly Bumz and give them some gnarly gear and bleach their hair blonde. 8/10 and least. Finishing move will off course be the radical move that's a lot like the 3D but now it's called "the wipeout". Why ain't I a booker?

Stickman 10-21-2014 09:32 AM

I would like them to come back. The tag team "division" is so bad, they need an experienced team to guide the division to make it interesting. I used to love tag team wrestling but cant stand it right now.

Nicky Fives 10-21-2014 05:30 PM

They can still go, I wouldn't mind seeing a comeback at all....

Fox 10-21-2014 06:13 PM

Meh. The Dudleys had their time in the spotlight in the WWE. I can see a nice pop for them in the beginning, but what do they really have to accomplish as a tag team in the WWE? Why take spotlight away from guys like the Usos, Cody Rhodes and the Wyatts, as well as other up and coming tag teams that the WWE will be forced to bring in eventually?

It'd be nice name recognition addition for the Dudleys versus whoever for the WWE Tag Titles, but in the overall picture it won't really mean much.

Bully Ray coming in would be kind of new and interesting to see, but I don't know if his character really hits the marks of your average WWE big time player. Mid-carder at best.

Anybody Thrilla 10-22-2014 01:46 AM

Bubba Ray's stupid ass boring singles run in WWE was close enough to the main event then that a fully-functioning Bully Ray could undoubtedly be a main eventer now.

DAMN iNATOR 10-22-2014 10:54 AM

Would be nice if they could also find a way to bring not just D-Von and Bubba Ray back but also Spike. I fucking loved his time as “The Boss” when he was CW Champ and a major badass heel.

While I think he's jerking everyone's chains, it would be amazing if Orton/Cena was cutting a promo about Brock to Heyman, Heyman tells them to turn around, BAM 3D

Clerk 10-23-2014 09:34 AM

That would be stupid Innovator.

EC3 to WWE? Along with Bobby Rude.

Man, if they come back with Heyman, that would make it all the better.

We already got a black/white team of fatasses that suck in Henry/Show.

Heyman reforms his Paul Heyman Guy's stable.

Ruien 10-27-2014 06:45 PM

"Devon, get the table!" made it into Sportscenter today.

Mr. Nerfect 10-31-2014 09:29 PM

There are a lot of reasons to bring back The Dudleyz. Nostalgia, merchandise, the crowd pops, having veterans work with younger guys. It makes sense to give them a part-time deal (or something similar to what Goldust works), and have them come in and make guys.

Aren't The Usos trying to be the "best brother team ever?" Yeah, that sounds like a challenge to me.

Bad News Gertner 11-01-2014 10:16 AM

Meh, I just want to be entertain. The Dudleyz entertain me. Couldn't care less how old they are.

Volare 11-01-2014 10:17 AM

Hell you could call Rick/Scott Steiner on that one. Would be more entertaining tv for sure!

Bad News Gertner 11-01-2014 10:24 AM

I would kill to have Scott Steiner get 5 minutes mic time in the middle of the ring.

Mr. Nerfect 11-01-2014 08:52 PM

The WWE should give Scott Steiner a talk show segment on Main Event each week, where he just rips on both faces and heels.

Bad News Gertner 11-02-2014 09:53 AM

Lol Steiner should do commentary on Main Event. Could you even fucking imagine the amount of WWE. Network buys if this occured?

GD 11-02-2014 11:16 PM

Remember that awesome feud with the New Age Outlaws that cemented The Usos as viable champions ? Good stuff.


To be fair, I just want the Dudleys to ram Cena through a table.
