In a recent YouTube video, the wrestling world was treated to a candid and honest assessment of D-Von Dudley’s WWE career, where he ranked his opponents from the best to the worst. The legendary tag team wrestler, known for his high-flying moves and intense feuds, shared his experiences, both positive and negative, with fans. The video has sparked a lot of debate within the wrestling community, with many fans eager to hear more about the behind-the-scenes stories of their favorite wrestlers.
S Tier: The Best of the Best
D-Von Dudley’s S Tier consists of wrestlers he truly enjoyed working with, citing their professionalism, charisma, and in-ring ability. One of the top names on this list is Rob Van Dam, with whom Dudley had a long-standing feud in the early 2000s. Dudley praised RVD’s athleticism and ability to connect with the crowd, stating that their matches were always exciting and unpredictable.
Another notable mention on the list is the late Eddie Guerrero, whom Dudley credited for being a great worker and an even better person. According to Dudley, Guerrero was always willing to help his fellow wrestlers improve their craft and was a true leader in the locker room.
A Tier: The Good Guys
D-Von Dudley’s A Tier is comprised of wrestlers he enjoyed working with, but didn’t quite reach the level of his S Tier counterparts. One of the notable names on this list is The Sandman, with whom Dudley had a memorable feud in the late 1990s. While Dudley did mention The Sandman’s notorious drinking problem, he also praised his ability to connect with the audience and his willingness to push the limits in the ring.
B and C Tier: The Challenging Opponents
As the tiers descend, the opinions become more divided, and the stories more intense. B Tier wrestlers, such as JBL and The Big Show, were deemed to be stiff and difficult to work with, but not necessarily “god awful.” Dudley recalled instances where JBL’s stiffness led to injuries, but also acknowledged his professionalism and dedication to the craft.
C Tier, on the other hand, consists of wrestlers Dudley described as “god awful” to work with. Vince McMahon, the WWE Chairman, surprisingly makes an appearance on this list, with Dudley stating that his in-ring ability was not as strong as his business acumen.
The most shocking revelation, however, came when Dudley revealed that he had to work with McMahon on several occasions, which led to some memorable moments. According to Dudley, McMahon’s in-ring style was more akin to a “high school wrestling match” than a WWE main event. While the tone was lighthearted and humorous, it’s clear that Dudley was being facetious, and the comment has sparked a lot of debate among wrestling fans.
Backstage Insight
Sources close to the WWE have revealed that the wrestling organization has been aware of D-Von Dudley’s comments and has chosen not to comment on the matter. While the WWE has a reputation for being a demanding and competitive environment, it’s clear that some wrestlers had more difficulty working with others than others.
Conclusion
D-Von Dudley’s tier list has provided a fascinating glimpse into the world of professional wrestling, where alliances are formed and broken, and reputations are built and destroyed. As the wrestling community continues to debate and discuss the list, one thing is clear: the world of professional wrestling is a complex and multifaceted one, where opinions vary, and stories are often told from different perspectives.
Only time will tell if the WWE will address the comments made by D-Von Dudley, but one thing is certain: the wrestling world will continue to be captivated by the behind-the-scenes stories of its favorite wrestlers. As Dudley himself stated, “Professional wrestling is a business, but it’s also a family. And sometimes, you have to work with people you don’t like to get the job done.”
