WWE fans may only be familiar with Bubba Ray, D-Von, and Spike, and while they were definitely the most successful of the clan, they're just the tip of the iceberg. ECW fans will remember that the entire Dudley Clan are half-brothers, the spawn of the philandering traveling salesman known as Big Daddy Dudley. His sons included Big Dick Dudley, Dances With Dudley, Sign Guy Dudley, Snot Dudley, Chubby Dudley, and -- this is 100% true -- Dudley Dudley.

However, things get very strange and complicated thanks to Bubba and D-Von's TNA career. D-Von's twin sons Terrence and Terrell made appearances as onscreen characters there, and journeyman actor Steve Schirripa (appearing as himself!) was billed as a relative of the Dudleyz.

During this same time, Ray married Brooke Hogan, uniting the Dudley and Hogan wrestling families. And that's how Brutus Beefcake is (kind-of) kayfabe related to Big Dick Dudley.
