I LOVE hearing REAL VETS talking about wrestling before I watched. What a time to be alive if you appreciate the art of professional wrestling! It is a blessing! Dutch and Cornette are TREASURES of knowledge and stories!!! Thank you, for what you do!!!☺

[@wildmouse5888]

The sick look Bubba would get on his face when he was about to Bubba-bomb someone was priceless. The guy also had great stamina for someone who looked like him.

[@jeffblacky]

I remember Sheik in 1976 at the Olympic fireballed John Tolos and I was in the front row with my dad and this Sheik tried to run past , my uncle was with us , lean over the rail and punched him in the face as he passed He stopped and screamed at the front row as my uncle Frank ( a Marine 2 tour Vietnam infantry veteran) jumped over the rail. The Sheik ran to the back. And what a mess , bottles , cups and even some shoes was thrown… this guy had heat .. great show

[@nightmarishhappenings]

I'm glad Bubba got help with his stuttering problem.

[@texasjack6289]

and then Goldust got it...

[@kauzpayne2]

that was part of character when he first showed up in ecw. after a while that character ran it's course and then changed his character.

[@nightmarishhappenings]

@@kauzpayne2 I know, I was joking.

[@spaceghost27]

when I saw Bubba at an ECW house show way back, he was on the mic in the crowd saying the most vile, disgusting things about people's mothers and girlfriends and we were loving it. it was really funny.

[@mikegeiler2347]

That’s called “cheap heat” and it’s the only way he can get a reaction. The same way he had to resort to using flaming tables and cheese graters in matches. Because he’s not a good wrestler.

[@drivelikeawhiteman313]

He dropped some words at the Alerio Center in New Orleans back in 1999. I felt bad for the kids thinking it was a foreign language.

[@mariogallego5513]

Bubba Ray does seem like he'd be funny as hell to know. Like your crazy brother or something lol

[@shane9032]

We went to starcast in Nashville and my buddy paid for a meet and greet and autograph with bubba/bully we see his table but he’s not there we find him hanging out at his wife’s table eating a sausage biscuit. So we walk around and do other things and go back and he’s still not at his table, where is he? He’s at someone else’s table EATING A SAUSAGE BISCUIT literally an hour and a half just waiting on him. We love him but from that point on every time we see him we say “that sausage biscuit eating Sumbitch “ to each other.

[@jesse_sweed]

I'm sending this to the friend I went with. Great work, guys!

[@NYCrazyRob]

I was trained by The Dudley's way back before the Team 3D Academy days. Bubba yelled at me for the exact reason Dutch mentioned. I was bumping and keeping my arms extended on the mat. This was a tripping hazard for the opponent. Bubba said if I kept doing it he was going to drop all of his weight down on my arm. I never kept my arms extended ever again.

[@nunyabidness4220]

When the Dudleys 3-D'ed Beulah McGillicutty, they reportedly had some trouble getting out of the arena...

[@FuzzyWuzzy75]

I went to the Cleveland County Fair in Cleveland County NC years ago and unbeknownst to me they had live wrestling at the fair. Most of the guys and girls wrestling there were people you probably never heard of and most people probably never will hear of. They had 2-3 guys that they said had wrestled for WCW back in the 80s or 90s but I couldn't remember them. I am sure that the pay off for those wrestlers was probably horrible. Maybe some of them didn't get a dime? But every one of them worked their asses off and put on the best show they could, if for nothing else, the love of professional wrestling and entertaining the fans. There was a tag team there who had a manager that particularly stood out to me. I learned that both of the wrestlers were fire fighters for their "day job". They were heels and they had an impressive look, big strapping looking guys that looked like the kinds of guys you wouldn't want to pick a fight with and they performed well in the ring. And they really played the part of big bullying heels well in the ring and had the decent sized crowd all booing their heads off. After the match the manager cut one of the most hilarious promos I had ever seen in all my years of watching professional wrestling. He had me laughing my ass off the whole time completely trashing the crowd and the community. This guy kind of reminded me a lot of a mix of Jimmy Hart (with the bull horn) and you could see and hear a lot of Jim Cornette's influence with this guy. He was talking about how easy the local women were and why half the kids in the crowd looked like they could be his kids lol. This one kid was booing and jumping up and down and hollaring at him and he told the kid to sit down because "You are so fat that if you fell over and broke your leg and had a compound fracture gravy would come squirting out!" lol. He was great! When those guys left the ring to go back to the dressing room they walked right past me and I had to tell them they were great and had to tell that manager that he was one of the funniest most entertaining guys I ever saw and shook his hand. He was really kind of moved by that and said "Thanks, I don't very often hear nice things from the fans!" and laughed. The heels make the world go around! And as fans we love to hate these guys and we love the abuse even when we hate it. The more we hate it, the more we love it lol.

[@BPEJS24-7]

My mom got Bubba to break character back in 2013 at a TNA show. he almost laughed and then went back to shouting at somebody else. She also got Taz all worked-up, and annoyed the hell out of Al Snow. She got heat from all the ECW guys. LOL Christopher Daniels also got really dejected after his own acknowledgment from her. 🤣 I love her. ❤

[@HocusPocus6969]

Wow. Got no mom story that can top those.

[@daveconleyportfolio5192]

Interesting topic. Dutch should talk more about the psychology of crowds -- what pushes them over the edge, what defuses them, the kind of people who pose the biggest dangers and why. There aren't many guys left who have been in the middle of actual riots, as opposed to just baiting fanboys who want to get their sign on TV.

[@madbrowniac7871]

@daveconleyportfolio5192: "The Big Turn of 1980" where Ole Anderson turned Heel against Dusty Rhodes at The Omni that Summer with the assistance of Gene Anderson and three other friends is as great a Psychological Masterclass to study as any. To begin with what would be your reaction if five jerks hung one of your beloved out to dry? Besides the staggering Atlanta heat people were so mad that they climbed the cage itself in a futile effort to rescue Dusty!🤔😉🎤🐴💎👔👞👞🤼‍♂️B.W.

If you’re going to do a panel about crowd psychology and riots, no panel would be complete without Corny.

[@MakeLifeExtraordinary]

Met him at the Orlando airport, back in 2002. I think it was when they were fired from WWE and were headed to TNA. He didn’t seem in a real great mood, but he did take a picture with me. In typical Bubba fashion, no smile… Looks like he’s pissed off at the world. Which, at that point… He probably was with the WWE crap happening. I will have to look for the picture. It’s funny as hell. I’m 6 foot and he made me look tiny. So I think he’s probably 6’ 4” or 6’5”. Such an amazing career for both of them.

[@boraonline7036]

In fact t was a good day, at least for you as a fan. Because it also could wen the way that you might have got you photo but he would have still found something to "instruct" you how to behave as a fan. I would even expect he would just start scolding a fan and take no photo with him.

[@kauzpayne2]

meeting a wrestler at a airport is not a good idea. since there get tired from being on the road. best time to meet them is at convetions.

[@MakeLifeExtraordinary]

@@kauzpayne2 I didn’t go there to meet him. I was on my way to Orlando from Maryland for my yearly 3 week Vacation, he just happened to be waiting for his luggage next to me. Again, I think it was the day he was going to either meet TNA reps about working there, or the day he was moving there to start working. Regardless, it was a cool experience nonetheless.

[@solomonkane7623]

Google says Bubba is 6'4"

[@TheRealNewWhirledOrder]

I have NEVER seen any evidence of a whirling, twirling, hurling, hurtling, wibbling, wobbling, zipping, zooming, rushing, rolling, twisting, turning, spinning and spiraling space ball, spherical "planet" earth and NEITHER HAS ANYONE ELSE.

[@InvisibleHotdog]

Besides astronauts and astronomers, right?

[@TheRealNewWhirledOrder]

@@InvisibleHotdog Try to find a working demonstration of a man or a woman wearing a space costume in a vacuum chamber while performing various tasks similar to those they would perform in "space". Lookup "stretch Armstrong in a vacuum chamber" to see what would happen to any man or woman who attempted it. Instead, they tell us that they do all of their training in the absolute opposite of a vacuum, a giant swimming pool. Lookup "bubbles in space".

[@TheRealNewWhirledOrder]

@@InvisibleHotdog We are told that the deepest anyone has ever drilled into the surface of the earth is roughly eleven kilometres (6.35 miles) down yet we are also told that the core of the earth is twenty nine hundred kilometres down. Earthquakes are measured with a seismograph up to a depth of only seven hundred kilometres. Ground penetrating radar can only reach a maximum depth of one hundred feet (or thirty meters) in dry, low conductivity, materials and that is in the best of conditions. It's usually much less. Try to find some evidence that verifies that the core of the earth is made of and doing what they tell us that it is made of and doing. Also, how are they able to tell us what supposed planets and stars that are supposedly millions and billions of supposed light years away are composed of right down to their supposed cores?

[@TheRealNewWhirledOrder]

@@InvisibleHotdog Regarding the sun, try to find a working demonstration of a heat and light source heating and lighting a surface while the distance between that heat and light source and surface is left cold and dark. Try to find some evidence that light, and heat, can travel as far as they say they can (millions and millions and millions and millions of miles) and then, again, while leaving its path both cold and dark.

[@TheRealNewWhirledOrder]

@@InvisibleHotdog All we ever get is pictures and images of the earth from space, the moon from space, the stars, the planets, black holes etc... Lookup "What is the difference between a picture and a photograph?" and "What is the difference between an image and a photograph?".

[@g-man2507]

Holy cow that's Dave Chaffee.

[@SonnyBubba]

Could you imagine if Bubba Ray and Devon were wrestling in the 70’s in Mid South? Especially after hearing Jim Cornette describe some of the crowds south of New Orleans in Cajun country. Those fans would load up a water pistol 🔫 full of drano and aim for the heels’ eyes.

[@nbaldwin45]

From what I've heard, Bubba is basically an asshole in real life to a lot of people but he's pretty much living the gimmick and I think he might have mellowed a bit in age. He seems to be pretty popular with the TNA guys. He's a smart guy and always knew the right people to suck up to. Ask guys like Rene Dupree about him though and you won't get a polite answer. Dutch mentioned him giving youngsters a tough time but he could be rough on them in the ring; Rene says the reason Bubba first lost his job at WWE was because he took liberties with Sylvain Grenier and injured him. Bubba might be 260 now but I think he could easily be 10-20lbs more. At his biggest in ECW, he wasn't far off 350 legit.

[@georgemaranville3305]

Yes real-life arsehole. Probably mellowed after the weight loss and plastic surgery.

[@JMAAD]

the internet says he's 6'4 so you know its true....lol About Mark LoMonaco, known by the ring names Bubba Ray Dudley and Bully Ray, is an American professional wrestler. Wikipedia Born: 1971 (age 52 years), Queens, New York, NY Height: 6′ 4″ Weight: 326 lbs Full name: Mark LoMonaco Debut: 1991

[@user-uo1qr6vn1q]

Yeah Bubba could incite a crowd, but to this day nothing tops the story of Cornette giving advice to New Jack before his first in-ring promo in front of a live crowd in Memphis in the old Smoky Mountain Wrestling promotion. It was 1994 or 95, & Cornette told him to go to the ring for a promo. New Jack had no idea what to say, so Jim reminded him that he was a heel & to just try & make everyone mad. He still had no idea, so Corny thought for a minute, & then whispered something in New Jack’s ear. So New Jack made his way to the ring & began telling that all white crowd in the Deep South, that he’d never been to Memphis before & he wanted to talk to someone who had. So he called this great guy he knew to get his opinion. And this guy told him that Memphis was actually a dump & the people were nothing but ignorant rednecks. New Jack said of course he had to agree since the guy he called was his close, personal friend… OJ Simpson. 😮😂 Needless to say that crowd went batshit. And New Jack never needed promo advice again.

[@TheNotSure]

[@nunyabidness4220]

Wikipedia says Bubba is 6' 4"... for whatever that's worth, which ain't much.

[@nbaldwin45]

I think 6'1'' is probably fair. He was much taller than Devon but shorter than many guys at WWE. I remember him facing the Big Boss Man and Boss Man towered over him.

[@daerth4423]

6'4" is probably about right. Big Boss man was a big boy. A good 6'7".

[@5150crazyfun]

I’d guess 6’2” because while he’s kinda tall he isn’t tall when compared to legit big men like Big Show or Taker. Even some guys in TNA like Abyss, Tomko and Mike Knox that were legit 6’4”-6’5” were noticeably taller.

[@ezrafranklin3547]
