10 Wrestlers You Didn't Know Competed At Wrestle Kingdom
3. The Dudley Boyz
Sticking with Wrestle Kingdom II and we arrive at another ambassador for TNA in Team 3D.
The duo formerly known as The Dudley Boyz - comprised of Brother Ray (Bubba Ray) and Brother Devon (D-Von) - fought Togi Makabe and Toru Yano in a Hardcore match.
Interestingly, this was not the only time The Dudleyz appeared at Wrestle Kingdom, nor was it the only time they fought Makabe and Yano.
In a rematch at the following year's Wrestle Kingdom III, Makabe and Yano (who went under the name "The Most Violent Players") defended their IWGP Tag Team Championships against Team 3D. The kayfabe brothers captured the titles in this match and extended their winning streak at Wrestle Kingdom to 2-0.
This victory means that The Dudley Boyz have held tag team championships in NJPW, WCW, ECW, TNA, NWA, and WWE. This ranks them amongst the most decorated tag teams in the history of pro wrestling and seals their status as undeniable legends of the business.
But please, spare a thought for Makabe and Yano in all of this. Poor lads.
