10 Things WWE Wants You To Forget About The Dudley Boyz

10. Bubba's Stutter

Wrestling fans who didn't keep an eye on the Monday Night Wars' forgotten third company might be oblivious to the fact that Bubba underwent a slight name change after jumping from ECW to WWE.

It wasn't exactly significant: he just went from Buh Buh to Bubba, the former having been originally spelled this way because he used to speak with a stutter, a character trait he retained during his first few weeks on Monday Night Raw.

Then, suddenly, the company decided that he no longer had a stutter, and it was dropped without any explanation. Kind of like if Walter White suddenly stopped having lung cancer halfway through the first season of Breaking Bad.

It's still not really clear why this decision was taken either. If you were being charitable, you might offer that bosses were perhaps worried about offending people who had the condition in real-life - but that didn't stop Goldust from getting Tourette's a couple of years later.
