In a recent YouTube video, D-Von Dudley dropped a bombshell on his former WWE colleagues, ranking his opponents from his illustrious career in a tier list that’s left many in the wrestling world talking. The list, which spanned from S-tier (wrestlers D-Von loved working with) to C-tier (those he dreaded facing in the ring), provided a fascinating glimpse into the good, the bad, and the downright ugly of Dudley’s WWE tenure.
The Sandman: A Nightmare to Work With
At the top of the list, D-Von placed his longtime tag-team partner, Bubba Ray Dudley – but what really caught everyone’s attention was his ranking of The Sandman, a veteran wrestler known for his unpredictable behavior. According to D-Von, The Sandman’s antics were so chaotic that he wouldn’t want to work with him even if he was offered a million dollars.
“Working with The Sandman was like a nightmare come true,” D-Von reminisced in the video. “He was a loose cannon, and you never knew what to expect from him. He’d show up to the ring, and you’d think, ‘Okay, we’re good to go.’ But no, he’d be half-cut, stumbling around, and you’d be like, ‘What in the world am I doing here?’ It was a real challenge, but I have to give him credit – the guy was a natural performer, even in his inebriated state.”
JBL: A Stiff Opponent Who Pushed D-Von to His Limits
D-Von also shared a harrowing story about his time working with JBL, a former WWE champion known for his tough-as-nails style. According to D-Von, JBL was so stiff in the ring that he made him question his own safety.
“Working with JBL was like being in a real-life fight,” D-Von admitted. “The guy was a powerhouse, and he didn’t care who he hurt in the process. I remember one match where I took a particularly nasty bump, and I thought for sure I was going to break my neck. JBL was so stiff that I had to adjust my in-ring style just to keep up with him. He was a great opponent, but I wouldn’t want to face him in a street fight.”
Vince McMahon: A Legend with a Questionable In-Ring Career
In a shocking revelation, D-Von also shared his thoughts on Vince McMahon, the WWE’s long-time CEO and founder. While many have praised McMahon’s in-ring abilities, D-Von was less than impressed.
“Vince was a great promoter, but as a wrestler, he was…well, let’s just say he was a relic of the past,” D-Von chuckled. “I mean, the guy was old-school, and he thought he could still hang with the best of them. Newsflash, Vince: you’re not 25 anymore. Your best days are behind you, and it’s time to hang up the boots. But hey, at least he tried – you’ve got to give him credit for that.”
A Look Behind the Scenes
According to a WWE insider, D-Von’s comments about Vince McMahon have raised some eyebrows backstage.
“D-Von’s comments about Vince have created a bit of a stir behind the scenes,” the insider revealed. “Some people are taking it personally, while others are just laughing it off and saying, ‘That’s just D-Von being D-Von.’ But one thing’s for sure – D-Von’s not afraid to speak his mind, and that’s part of what makes him such a compelling figure in the world of professional wrestling.”
D-Von’s Legacy: A True Original
While some may view D-Von’s comments as a criticism of his former colleagues, others see them as a testament to his honesty and willingness to speak truth to power. As a true original in the world of professional wrestling, D-Von has always been known for his unapologetic style, and his tier list is just the latest example of that.
“I’m not afraid to say what’s on my mind,” D-Von said in a statement. “If someone’s being a jerk, I’m going to call them out on it. And if someone’s being awesome, I’m going to give them the credit they deserve. That’s what this business needs more of – honesty, authenticity, and a willingness to take risks. And if that’s not what you want to hear, then maybe you shouldn’t be in the wrestling business.”
As for D-Von’s future plans, he’s staying tight-lipped – but one thing’s for sure: he’s not done yet.
“I’m still got a few tricks up my sleeve,” D-Von teased. “Stay tuned, folks – it’s going to be a wild ride.”
