10 Things We Learned From Bully Ray On Stone Cold’s Broken Skull Sessions Podcast

10. Bubba Found His ECW Run “Cringeworthy”

Bubba Dudley didn't think he'd be a hit at all.

Looking back, the WWE Hall Of Famer is amazed that he made it so far in the biz. Why? Well, he finds it kinda embarrassing to look back on his early days as Bubba Ray in the original ECW. All that stuttering and dancing doesn't cut it for 2022 Bully Ray, which is something Austin got a kick out of.

Dudley took a chokeslam from 911 during his first night in the company, then Paul Heyman pulled him aside and asked: "Hey, how would you feel about shaving your head?". That, according to Ray, was one of the worst things the boss could've asked him to do. Also, he hated being called Bubba.

Raven and Taz were the ones who came up with the whole Dudley gimmick, but they weren't responsible for the haircut or Bubba moniker. The latter happened when workers shouted out possible names for each Dudley member.

Today, Bully finds it cringeworthy.
