D-Von Dudley, qui faisait partie de la légendaire équipe The Dudley Boyz en compagnie de Bubba Ray, vient d’annoncer qu’il prend sa retraite du ring.
Il a confirmé la nouvelle sur le podcast Table Talk with Mo Lightning, en mentionnant être frustré de ne pas pouvoir continuer encore un peu à cause de la pandémie.
D-Von est toutefois ouvert à l’idée de participer à divers événements, mais sans lutter.
On a recent episode of Table Talk podcast with Mo Lightning, D-Von explained that his days as an active competitor in the ring are over. This is an official announcement of retirement, but it didn’t come without frustration.
“You know, I’m just — and I’ve told Lindsey this before. Even though I am little frustrated, I was a little frustrated of not continuing to wrestle for that one more year that I wanted, I’m extremely happy now being a producer and not wrestling. I have officially announced that I’ve hung it up and I’m done, you know, except for different appearances that they may want me to do on the show, but no more wrestling. No more fighting for the titles. None of that anymore. I’m done. I’m officially done.”
Il est par ailleurs très fier de ce qu’il accompli depuis le début de sa carrière en 1992, notamment bien sûr avec son association avec Bubba Ray Dudley.
“I’ve had my fifteen minutes of fame and it was a good ride, it really was. The old timers used to tell me, ‘Don’t blink, because when you do it’s over. It goes that fast.’ And it did feel like it went really, really fast. But a 28-year career — always being on top and never taking a break, regardless of the injuries or anything like that — we did it, you know? And I think Bubba said it best during our Hall of Fame speech. You know, we did it our way. We went out there and conquered. We became synonymous in terms of using the name when tag team wrestling comes up. We will always be put in with some of the best and arguably some people will say we were the best. But I’m just happy that when you do mention tag teams, the Dudley Boyz names come up.”
Son dernier match remonte au 17 décembre 2018, dans un événement de House of Glory, dans un combat à quatre équipes avec Bubba Ray contre The Hardy Boyz, Private Part et Proud-n-Powerful.
Ce duo a été 10 fois champions par équipe à la WWE, 8 fois à la ECW, 2 fois à la TNA et 1 fois à la WCW.
