The Reverend D'von gimmick might have worked better later on - as a manager who can occasionally get involved. Have him be that kind of southern preacher, with the Deacon Batista type guy as the actual wrestler, doing his bidding. Cos D'von's actually a good worker, he could readily have worked the hell out of a Virgil/diBiase type angle with his muscle coming to realise that the preacher is not practicing what he preaches and turning face on him.

Ron started hammering the guy with some stiff elbows to the chest and a hammer fist to the back and yelled "now hit me!" The guy socked him pretty good, the crowd made a pop and Ron started working much softer after. Ron was and is a class act, a guy who knew he could legitimately take on 90 percent of the roster but never took advantage of his rep.

@@laicuan1 People were booing the match at the start yes, but it was actually bad from how they performed as well because both of them did not give a damn either at that point and therefore were really unprofessional about it.

The Road Warriors were Independents pretty much and did not give a damn about being tied down to a wrestling company. The Dudely Boyz success was tied to a company pushing them.

Sell to two out of shape blubber butts like the Dudely Boyz? Maybe you didn't know this but back in the day when The Road Warriors were the rage if you were that big and well built it looked bad for the business for two blubber butts to beat you up in the ring. And back in those days when the professional wrestling business was protected, if you were pushed as a bad ass in the ring and you got the shit beat out of you in a local barroom brawl and the local pro-wrestling promoter found out about it you did not work in his promotion because everybody in town would have heard about the pro-wrestler getting his ass beat and nobody would come to you wrestling show to see what the wrestling customer saw as a fraud.

Road Warrior's never sold their brand to Vince and could of gone over to Japan and made a boat ton of money. ECW Dudley Boyz wouldn't been able to. The best analogy here is, the Dudley Boyz are like a college football team that needs a power 5 conference to stay alive while the Road Warrior's are like Notre Dame an independent football team that doesn't need a conference to stay alive.
