Jim Ross On Where He Would Rank The Dudley Boyz

During the most recent episode of his Grilling JR podcast, Jim Ross was asked where he would rank The Dudley Boyz on the list of all-time great tag-teams:

“I don’t know where I would rank them, but I definitely consider them one of the best tag-teams I ever got to do business with.  Bubba and D-Von always came through.  They were physical.  They were smart.  They knew what the hell they were doing in the ring.  I know that some of the agents might say, ‘Well, Bubba was a little hard to do business with.’  Well, only because Bubba knew what he was doing and he wasn’t going to take some B.S. reason or answer.  The other thing I admired about the Dudleys, and again, Bubba leading the way more often than not I think, was going to see Vince. 

That helped establish a stronger relationship with the old man and The Dudleys where he could trust them.  He got in their head and understood what they were thinking.  I haven’t thought about a Top 10 list, but I would say The Dudleys would certainly be in my Top 5. I think that they had a skill set that they were able to mesh with anybody they worked with, and I thought that was really good.  So, I would say the Top 5, without a doubt, and in serious consideration for one of those top 2 or 3 spots.  They were tenacious.  Bubba would probably make a good creative guy right now quite frankly.  I liked working with them, even though Bubba could be a pain in the a** sometimes, but he was our pain in the a**, and I had no problem helping get those damn Dudleys over.  I liked their work.”
