Extensive details on how WWE has screwed the “Dudley Boyz” Submitted by Richard Gray on Monday, August 29, 2005 at 1:13 PM EST
For those who have not heard, WWE has made it clear that the team formerly known as The Dudley Boyz are not allowed to use the name outside of the company. WWE executives have sent legal letters to everyone using the “Dudley” name to advertise, telling them to stop.
Bubba and D-Von worked as Team 3D at the Wrestle Reunion 2 show. It should be noted that when the pair left ECW for WWE six years ago, Paul Heyman told them that he was giving the team the exclusive rights to the “Dudley” name because of all they had done for the company. Apparently Heyman forgot to file the paper work and WWE ended up retaining the rights to the Dudley names preventing the names being used outside of a WWE ring.
