Straight Outta Dudleyville – The Legacy Of The Dudley Boyz DVD Review: 20 Interesting Observations

20. The Early Years

Bubba and D-Von had contrasting childhoods. While Bubba grew up in stable, middle class surroundings, D-Von was moved from Brooklyn to Long Island when he was a child by his Grandmother due to the outbreak of crack cocaine in the area. She wanted to ensure he didn't become another statistic. 

The move suited him though as he fell in love with his new high school, Elwood District. Between 6th and 10th grade, he had 100% attendance and was one of the more popular kids in school. 

D-Von tells of how his signature testify taunt comes from his step father, who was the preacher. Going to church was mandatory in his family, not an option. 

Bubba is described as being everything you would come to expect as a child. He was a clown, a showman, and his former football coach described how he was suited for one one of two jobs - a car salesman or pro wrestler. 

While everybody knows that Tommy Dreamer and Mick Foley were in attendance when Jimmy Snuka jumped off the top of the cage at MSG, Bubba reveals that he was on the front row (pictured) for the infamous moment. 

Both fell in love with the business from a young age and were destined to make it to the very top...
