10 Greatest Paul Heyman Creations
6. The Dudleyz
Bubba Ray and D-Von are one of the most successful tag teams in the history of the wrestling business. Holding the Tag Team Championships in every major company they have ever been in, The Dudley Boyz are 23-time champions and the only team to hold the WWE, ECW, WCW, NWA, TNA, and IWGP Tag Team Championships. Not bad for a team born out of a misfit comedy act.
Despite neither man being an original member of the fictional Dudley family, the two have gone on to become the preeminent members of the Dudley clan. Bubba Ray was added to the group in 1995 after impressing Paul Heyman in a tryout, while D-Von was added six months later.
After initially feuding with each other on TV over the direction of the brotherly group, the two Dudley men became partners and achieved unparalleled success as a tag team. As a team, the two became a serious act and were given the freedom to develop their characters into villainous heels the likes of which had rarely been seen.
From near riots to flaming tables, The Dudley Boyz became stalwarts of the ECW brand and, under Heyman's leadership, rose to become one of the biggest tag teams in wrestling history.
