WWE: The Dudley Boyz added to 2018 WWE Hall of Fame Class Inductees

One of the greatest tag teams in the history of the professional wrestling will take their rightful place in the WWE Hall of Fame this year. Bubba Ray and D-Von Dudley, the Dudley Boyz, are the latest inductees in the WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2018. The tag team will be inducted, alongside Goldberg, during the 2018 WWE Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony on the Friday before WrestleMania XXXIV in New Orleans.

The Dudley Boyz have been involved in a majority of every professional wrestling promotion there is and have been including WWE, WCW, ECW, TNA, and many others. One thing that was common with the team was wherever they went, they dominated and eventually became tag-team champions. 

Flashback to 1996 with Extreme Championship Wrestling, Bubba and D-Von kicked off two decades of dominance in tag team wrestling. While in ECW, The Dudley Boyz could talk the talk but could also back up the talk in the ring. The way Bubba and D-Von were able to double-team their opponents was something that hadn't been seen as much. Using the double-team finisher known as the 3D, The Dudley Boyz went through the ECW's tag team division and capture the ECW Tag Team Championship a total of eight times before departing in 1999. 

You've heard of the women's revolution thrown around a lot lately but flashback to the late 90's and early 2000's the Dudley Boyz was a part of the tag team revolution. The team would battle with Edge & Christian along with the Hardy Boyz in the first ever TLC-match at Summerslam in 2000 and the classic sequel at WrestleMania X-Seven. Before leaving the WWE in 2005, The Dudley Boyz earned eight reigns as World Tag Team Champions, one as WWE Tag Team Champions, and one as WCW Tag Team Champions.

22 years after making their debut in ECW, The Dudley Boyz will take their place in the WWE Hall of Fame alongside other great tag teams including The Road Warriors, The Valiant Brothers, The Blackjacks, The Wild Samoans, The Brisco Brothers, The Funks, The Buschwhackers, and The Rock & Roll Express. 

Tickets for the 2018 WWE Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony are available now at Ticketmaster. (Koelle,2018)
