14. Inciting Riots
The guys reminisce about how much heat the Dudleys used to draw in ECW, with Chris mentioning how Bubba would berate the fans with vulgar tirades that would whip them up into a frenzy. Devon said whenever the pandemonium would break out they'd wait for things to calm down and then Bubba would start in on the fans again. Objects would start flying into the ring and the crowds would be ready to riot and D-Von would have to plead with his partner to stop. "Bubba, I've got kids. Please!" Bubba remarks that wrestlers had free reign in ECW and he didn't want people to hate him just because he was the heel, but instead wanted to earn real disdain and hatred; bricks through the car windows, slashed tires, the whole deal. He admits that's what made them memorable and they did what got them to the dance, before adding that you could never get away with those things today.
