WWE Hall Of Fame 2018: 16 Craziest Moments
13. The Dudley Boyz Talk About JBL & Mae Young
Now, few would ever expect the Dudley Boyz to tow the line of political correctness, but one brief spell in their speech did send the Internet into a cringe-frenzy, as they name-dropped two WWE talents who haven't exactly been depicted in a flattering light in recent times.
Firstly, D-Von mentioned that when he was performing the infamous Reverend D-Von gimmick, JBL would take the money from his collection plate to spend on booze for the APA. JBL's a well-known bully, of course, and the Internet Wrestling Community didn't take too kindly to D-Von flippantly reminiscing about it.
Bubba then went on to honour Mae Young, who was of course instrumental in the success of their early WWE career, but it was nevertheless a tone-deaf dedication considering her historic scandals that have resurfaced recently.
The Dudley Boyz probably don't much care about that, but still, it was hard not to wince at their two tributes here, especially as they came in immediate succession of one another. If you're gonna pay tribute to divisive figures, you might want to spread them out a little, no?
