    Back in ECW, D-Von cut promos that made him sound like a preacher saying things like, "Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy Dudley, thou shalt honor thy Big Daddy Dudley, thou shall not screw with the Dudleyz!"

      "Thou shalt not steal. Thou shalt not kill. Thou shalt not fuck with the Dudleys!" Is his default one later on, he'd just throw it in at the end of their promos.

      I don't think that's quite it. Bruce and Vince just have similar tastes. The Undertaker likely wouldn't have worked so well without either Bruce or Vince's production. Bruce is also adamant that the Red Rooster (an equally ridiculous gimmick) would have worked if Terry Taylor's heart had been in it. Vince wouldn't be so defensive about that.

    In ECW Heyman wanted a black Dudley Boy and was introduced to D-Von (A-Train at the time). Saturn worked him out and said he could go and Heyman hired him. Then Heyman asked if he’d seen Pulp Fiction. And had him create his character after Samuel L. Jackson’s in the movie. And that’s how his character was born. In WWE D-Von asked to use the Reverend D-Von character. Vince loves the idea. Too bad it didn’t really go anywhere.

    Here's the thing, a lack of a midcard title on Smackdown in 02 threw off a lot of the perception of midcarders, IMO. A guy like Dvon wasn't going to instantly be a main eventer, so he's languishing in a midcard with no "landing pad" of a US title. Eddie, Benoit, Edge and Angle all dipped into the tag ranks in fall of 02, and when DVon did as well, it felt like his singles run was a failure. Similar things with Ron Simmons, even John Cena. Without a midcard title, some guys were just too far away from something tangible to feud about.

      There's a reason WWE has had midcard titles after the brief experiment from 02 to 03. Too many c tier guys can't just will themselves up a notch without the crutch of a midcard title. This video was littered with em...Mark Henry, 02 Orton, 02 Cena, Valbowski.

      @@theslimjames because they are too lazy to come up with storylines so “put them in a title match” is easy to do. That’s why fans are calling for a women’s mid card title because wwe cannot come up with more than 1 women’s storyline at a time. It allows for laziness. The more titles there are the more the top title is diminished

      Everything you're saying is correct, midcard storylines hit the toilet after the brand split, often just becoming "you beat me, I beat you" with no real stakes. But you also need a midcard title so that the bottom half of your roster has something to theoretically fight for in the back of the fans' minds.

    D-von and Batista didn't get a shot at the tag belts because they were exclusive to Raw for some reason, until the fall when Smackdown got their own titles.

    A lot of Attitude Era teams got separated and very few succeeded and a lot of them failed and got put back in a team or went back down the card
    APA: both got separated and a year later got put together cause both couldn’t cut it as singles stars (yes JBL would be born but that’s why Ron got fired in storyline)
    The Dudley’s: both failed as singles and their promise singles pushes failed and got back together on RAW to win more tag belts
    The Hollys: Crash did nothing after the Hardcore belt got canned and got put in the Hardy V1 group but got canned once Hardy move to RAW for Bob well he didn’t do much till his failed pushed in 2004 at least Molly got some runs with the women’s belt
    The Hardy’s: both had good runs especially Matt during 02/03 with his V1 gimmick he got the cruiserweight belt and got wins over Taker as for Jeff he got some cool moments but his issues got him fired
    E&C: both had good runs for Edge he was becoming a Smackdown staple and got a tag run with Mysterio and feuded with Brock,Eddie,Benoit and Angle till his neck slady sidelined him for over a year as for Christian he got a good run at RAW teaming with Jericho and feuding with Booker T,Goldberg,Test,RVD and won the IC belt a couple of times and was at Mania 20

    • @quentinkaasa47
      @quentinkaasa47 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I'd argue that neither Dudley failed as singles. Bubba was stuck in the mid card Hardcore division. He should have been given an opportunity to rise further up on the card like Bradshaw got on RAW at the time. Instead he was pigeonholed as just another hardcore guy. And as this video proves, D-Von had a decent run on SmackDown. I remember him being one of the more over heels for a period of time. But then they buried him. . .
      As for the Holly's, I think Bob had some heat with management due to the Tough Enough incident and his match with Brock that September. Crash unfortunately was just one of those WWF guys who got lost in the shuttle during the invasion era and its aftermath. In hindsight I feel like they should have brought Bob Backlund back as his manager. They could have done some great stuff together.
