  Speaker 2: know you're a big listener to the podcast s. Wheen
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: do we go over all the figures of a certain superstar?
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: But you have too many damn figures. I want to say,
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: we're gonna be here for a while. Yeah, So I
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: picked out what I think are the essential Devon Dudley figures.
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: I want to see if you agree, we're gonna look
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: at them. You're to tell me if you even have
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: the figure. Do you collect your figures? I do, and
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: I don't.
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: If they if they send it to me, I'll collect it.
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: Do I go to Walmart or online and buy them now?
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: So you're you're not figure hunting for your figures. You're
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: not going to Walmart and Target looking No.
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: I mean I have a game room that I put
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: it up in there. But no, I don't really do it.
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: Unfortunately I should.
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: You probably don't even have all of your figures.
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: No, there was so many that was made, especially during
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: the Attitude era, because that was when me and Bubba
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: ad On Hottis that there were things that they would
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: make that we didn't even know was out there.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: You're getting paid for it, right, Get paid. That's all.
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: That's all that matters.
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: Hey, show me the money. Make as many as you want,
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: Like al Snow used to say, pin me paid.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: All right, So let let's go and let's look at
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: all of your figures that we have today. Let's do
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: it all right. First up, we have your first ever
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: figure ECW Divon Dudley, featuring your pivot punch, a lot
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: of pivot punching.
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: I could say that I did and I didn't. I
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: don't know if I used too many trash cans. And
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: that's why when I first sort of action figured, I
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: was a little spectacle about it because of the trash can.
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: At that point in time, Bubba and I hadn't really
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: done tables. We had done everything but tables at that point. Now,
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: the one that did bring it out.
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: Was new Jack.
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: Yes, he did yes, and it was a crazy story.
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: Some fan came to me and showed me that this
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: actual box. I guess the manufacturing must have made a
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: mistake and put new Jack in there. Okay, and it
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: was supposed to have been a Devon, but it was
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: new Jack and he held it on for many years. Yeah,
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: he said, one day I want to be able to
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: show you this, and this is the time to show you.
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: It came and showed me and he was like, how
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: did they get that mixed up? I said, what if?
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: Probably thought all black people look like, oh my god, Jesus,
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: come on. Do you remember when this figure came out?
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: Do you remember the feeling? Did you even care that
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: you were getting a figure?
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: I did?
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: To me, it was huge. I had never had anything
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: like this before, a video game, nothing, So when I
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: first saw myself, I was very impressed. Number one and
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: number two. I was very excited, really excited because the
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: twins who are wrestling now, they were like four or five.
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: And when I came home with that and I showed them,
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: they were like jumping for joy, right, you know, because
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: like Daddy's on an action figure. This was great And
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: that just showed me that I had finally arrived. Yes,
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: I mean I'm a huge ECW fan. I was a
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: kid when these came out Attitude era and then like
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: you jumped to WWF, but these figures as a kid,
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: I can still play with these until you get the
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: WF figures.
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: So it was perfect and all. You probably don't know this,
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: but like all these figures have unique bodies, so like
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: no one else has this divon arm. You know, everything's
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: unique to the wrestler and this real nerd stuff. But
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: that's what made this ECW line so special is that nowadays,
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: you know, people have the same legs, the same arms,
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: that everyone had unique parts and just made every figure
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: that much more special.
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: I mean that's the way it was back then. They
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: wanted to try to make it set it from everybody
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: else so you wouldn't mistaken it was who and you
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: always knew if you studied pro wrestling like that, what
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: their arms looked like, what their legs looked like, the
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: tattoos and all of that. So it really meant something
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: back then.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: So who do you think sold more figures? You were
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: Bubba Oh I did. Sorry, by just being honest, I did.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: Let's go to that AX a lot all right, the
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: next one here is your first ever ww F. I
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: could say that we didn't get the f out yet.
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: No WWF Rulers of the Ring, Devon Dudley, you remember
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: this absolutely.
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: It was our WrestleMania, the one where we did the
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: ladder match with Edgend Christian and the Hartis And that
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: was the look that was given for that WrestleMania. Now,
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: when I saw that, that was when I really knew
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: I had arrived. Yeah, I got an action figure after
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: being on WrestleMania, creating history. Didn't know that those ladder
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: match in TLC match would still be talked about thirty
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: years later, but it did. And just to have my
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: action figure in w mean because remember me growing up
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: as a kid, you know, I played with Hogan's figures, Andre,
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: Roddy Piper, you know, Jake the Snake, Steamboat. I'm the
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: kid playing with them. Oh absolutely, I did. Absolutely Hogan
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: won every time. I was such a huge ho Cogan mark.
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: But no, it was one of those things where I
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: felt like a sense of accomplishment, you know, because I
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: had finally made it to my childhood dream.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: So I'm glad you said that because a lot of
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: the guys that. When I first came into the business,
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: I was afraid to say that I collected figures, and
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: I didn't, you know, because you know, if I saw
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: you in the locker room, I'd respect you to shake
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: your hand, but then like I'd also be buying your
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: figure at Target a walk. So like I came in
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: in a weird spot, you know, because most of the wrestlers,
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: they didn't grow up like playing with them, so I
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: couldn't like they couldn't relate to me.
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: My my thing, my thing has always been this. We
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: all are what they call marks, you know, over the
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: top fans. We were all like that, because if we weren't,
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: we wouldn't have been in this business. So to not
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: credit that. As you get into the business and become
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: popular and well known, why wouldn't you acknowledge that, you know,
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: because again, we all came from something, and if it
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: meant being an over the top fan, then why not
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: admit that?
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: I agree? So so back to this figure. This is
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: what I was talking about earlier, Like other people had
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: these arms, other people had like this chest, but this
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: was the original. You know, this is your head. Obviously
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: they scanned you, do you remember getting scanned?
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: I remember getting scanned out of that. But I told him,
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: I was like, could you have left the gap out?
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: No more gap? No more gap ught to you by invisible.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: But this this is cool because the sunglasses come on removable.
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: But as a kid playing, it was a pain of
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: the ass if you if you lost these, oh forgiven these,
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: oh man brutal.
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: Like I remember Jake the Snake had, you know, his
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: action figure. He had the snake and I was visibly
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: upset because my little brother, who was playing with my
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: figures and I told him, don't play with my figures
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: when I'm not home, he played with it and lost
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: the little rubberd snake.
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: That went around. I was, I was so upset. I
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: feel your pain. Needless to say, he got ass whipping
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: that name. All right, let's check out the next one.
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: All right, so this isn't your next one, but this
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: is like, this is the Jacks is the ruthless Aggression era,
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: because in between the one I just showed him this,
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: you probably had like twenty different figures. Yes, you were,
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: you were too over devon. You know you even had a
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: three pack with the rock.
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it was with the Rock, And that was the
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: one that Basically, I was like, damn, I really made it,
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: you know, I mean the rock was hacked back then
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: and needed to put me and Bubba both in a
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: three pack with him. That was great because we had
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: done many matches together, right, you know, as teammates, and
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: then we you know, done many matches where we were
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: beating his ass. Yes, So for that to have happened
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: that was great. And then to have this during the
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: Ruthless Aggression era, it was kind of like, Okay, this
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: is like I think one of our last action figures
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: that were made right before we left in two thousand
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: and five.
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: So is this after Reverend Devon? This is after Reverend
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: Are you upset that Reverend Devon never got a figure? Damn?
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: I think I think Reverend Devon needs a figure point
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: blank period.
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: I think now Mattel could do it, because Mattel, you
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: know you have a Legends deal now right. You know
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: I convinced Bubba to sign that Legends deal. He didn't
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: wtn't do it. I think I heard something about that.
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: I'm like, Bubba, what do you do it? Because nobody
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: else can make double figures?
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: Right? Sign with WWE they'll make double figures and you'll
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: sign them at these signings and make even more money.
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: I've had people come up to me and say, you know, hey,
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: we want to do action figures on you guys, and
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: blah blah blah. You think you can give me your
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: business card or something we can maybe make this work.
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: And I'm like, yeah, ure, let's do it. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: And I thought about it. I was like, it's not
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: w W A right, So am I really going to
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: be satisfied with what they make?
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: No?
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: And I'm glad you did, you know, convince them, because
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: no one else makes action figures like w W people say.
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: And with that being said, that just proves right there
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: that looking at this figure compared to when people make
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: other figures that don't really look like us or represents us,
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: that's proof and the pudding right there that that is
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: the place to have make action figures. So again I
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: was very happy and content with that. And again it
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: was during the ruless aggression. Never remind events always. During
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: this time, he was looking to bring a new generation
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: of people in so to be able to still be
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: in vents his eyes as being able to be made
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: money off of and things like that.
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: That was huge. So what's with this yellow cameo? Look
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: whose idea was did the switch to yellow? I did?
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: That was your idea, because.
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: I went I was tired of the regular black and
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: white and this, and then I wanted something a little different.
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: And where I got the cameos from was an Army
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: and Navy store in Cocoa Beach, and I went in
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: and I saw all these different color I was like, oh,
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: this is great. So I went and bought one. I said, Bubba,
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: I said, we need to do this, and then I
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: remember Bubble going, well, can you get me a pair?
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: I was like, yeah, So I got them a pair,
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: and then we started using that one. I used that one.
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: We did purple, white and black. I remember that I
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: got teased by Jerdy King Laula going, I know, Bonnie's purple,
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: but Dudley's divan. But it was we were trying to
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: just I was trying to just do different things, different look.
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: Even though we wanted to stay camo, I wanted to
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: change the colors up at.
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: Least say one thing. So I'm really ain'tal about my
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: figure is one thing I don't like about this. There's
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: no wrist tape, no finger tape. Yeah, they lift it out,
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: but they put it on the picture. It's on the package.
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: You clearly see that's what it's but it's not even
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: the cameo is not the best there. Yeah, no, I
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: was kind of they're cheaping out in the deco. Hits right,
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: there's real nerd talk. But yeah, this is your last
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: figure in w as a while. Yeah, could you jump
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: ship up with the territory? Yep? And I believe yeah,
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: we sold out, as they like to say, Well, let's
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: go check out those figures.
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: Yes, all right, so here we go little t and
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: a total NonStop action, brother Diva.
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: I see what you did there, brother Divon. You got
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: the table here, yep, you got the molded wrist tape,
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: you got the finger tape, even the change their chain.
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: You're all jacked up here too. Well, I was Jack,
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: that's right, that's right.
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: At one point in my career, the chain, you know,
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: never came off, never came off never. I wore the
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: chain all through and I know there was a couple
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: of times I was told that why are you wearing
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: the chain in the ring? Wrestlers don't wear change in
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: the ring, And to me, it was my style and
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: I wanted to keep it up, and I thought I
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: was gonna get heat from it, and not that I
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: didn't care, but I was gonna take a chance.
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: It was like, you know, do it and ask for
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: apologies later, right, you know.
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: So it kind of for me, it set the trend
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: for everything when TNA did that, because again, it showed
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: something that I had been doing for years, and then
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: I never take it off. And that was one of
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: the things that when I go to ade autograph signings
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: and things like that, people ask me, is that the
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: chain that you've been wearing your whole career? Go, yep,
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: this is wow. I've never this is the same chain.
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: I didn't with the exception of the ring, but this
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: is the same change since ninety seven.
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: Oh my god. So I don't know if you know
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: this is a rare figure. Yes, and you know they
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: don't even make Bubba No, so Bubba doesn't come out.
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: He's probably so pissed that you've made that royalty money
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: he didn't. Well, that gets the show. You asked me earlier,
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: who made more figures? Who's so more figures? I guess
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: by default you so more from the Marvel DNA. But yeah,
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: this is a super rare figure. I think one of
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: your best like face sculpts. Yeah, it's good, Daven got
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: the scars on the forehead. Oh yeah, look at that. Yeah,
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: really really good. And you got the table there and
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: the table. So tell us about the Team three D
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: name where you couldn't be the Dudley's anymore. Yeah.
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: Well, when we left WWE in two thousand and five,
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: we were under the impression that we had the rights
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: to the name and we were going to do an
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: independent show. And the independent show got to cease and
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: dismissed letter. And when that happened, we were like, what
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: the hell is going on? So we went and got
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: a lawyer, and the lawyer said, yeah, they're claiming that
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: they own the rights to it. Now we can do
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: one or two things. We could fight this, or we
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: can just make up a new name. But if you
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: fight this, you know, Vince can have you tied up
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: in court for so long boy that by the time
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: you even if you did win, you would have lost
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: more money that you spent trying to fight this. So
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: it's probably best if we just let it go.
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: But I think it worked out, brother Divon.
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: And because it almost sounds like Devon and Bubba Rat. Yeah,
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: so my name is Devon, which is Divonne and uh,
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: you know instead of the ed, we always did it
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: in we with the hyphen, so we just put my
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: real name in it. I was like, they can't take
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: that from That's right, they did. They got to speak
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: to Mama Dudley.
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, this is a great pack. And then Tory Birss
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: switches to Jacks, who used to make the We now
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: you're gonna get Jack's TNA figures. Let's check that one out.
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: We're crossing the line here with some Jacks Team three D.
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: I'll be honest, I don't really love this one. I'm
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: not Yeah, I'm not a big fan. I mean, what
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: do you think.
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: I mean, it doesn't have the details like the other one. Yeah,
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: this is just it just looks like they just put
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: it together from old ones that they had and just
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: painted the new shirts and all.
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: That's pretty much what it is. It's the old w
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: B parts because WWE went to Bettel so TNA got Jack. Yeah,
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: so it's not bad.
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: I mean it still shows that it's us, but still
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: it could have been a little bit made. It could
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: have made a little better. You guys stopped. You weren't
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: doing tied eye, you weren't doing Camo, just plain black pants.
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: Not what do you do it?
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: Well, because they they said that they owned the rights
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: to the camos too, so it was still the likeness,
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: which is why we had to change everything up, got it,
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: and it got to the point where we just didn't
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: care anymore and we were going to do it anyway.
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: So later on we wind up putting the camels back
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: on for a little bit here and there.
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: Right. Well, look, they did paint the tape on your fingers,
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: at least they did the rest tape. There's something there,
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: But when you were walking on the toy aisle, not
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: very toy attic, as they said. Yeah, the previous ones,
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: you know, Camo, you know tied I that like pops
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: off the shelves.
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: This is plain, very plain. But it's a rare two
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: pac sign. There's a lot of conventions and that's the
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: first time I've seen that since.
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: TMA made it. I think we got yeah, I need
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: to have that.
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: I'll put this on my side, thank your.
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: We got two more, two more. So this one is
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: a kind of a weird one. This just came out recently.
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: This is based on your return to WWE from what
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: year is at twenty sixteen fifteen, so that was already released,
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: but this is like an update of that figure. I
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: don't know if you even know that. Yeah, okay, yeah,
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: so this is from the vault. It's called like that.
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: That figure is so sought after they brought it out
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: of the vault. Look at that. That's how over you are.
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: I like it. So this one has all the detail.
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: It has the red camo, has the chain, has the glasses,
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: has the tape your tattoos. I mean, this might be
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: the best I think it is.
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: And the thing about that one is even the box
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: is cool looking. Yeah, you know. So I really enjoyed
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: that one when it first came out.
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: I was very excited. It was almost like getting my
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: first action figure cause it looked so good. So I
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: remember being in the locker room when you guys came
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: back in Brooklyn, and the locker room was not happy
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: that Bubba was coming back. But that was the first
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: time I got to work with you and Bubba like
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: in the ring or even like just be around you guys,
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: because like you know, you were in the business before
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: I got into the business, and we just were never
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: in the same place. That's the first time I ever
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: wrestled you was in this WWE, and I remember putting
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: the match together with you. We had a singles match.
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: It was so easy, and then Bubba came and made
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: it so complicated. You're not even of the match. Damn it, Bubba.
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: I don't know if you remember this, but in the
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: match or somethinghere where Bubba pops up on the apron
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: and I nail him and I busted his nose open,
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: and I'm like, oh no, but I got through the curtain.
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: Everyone and Gorillas clapped, But Bama hates when I tell
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: that story. I'm sorry, but the boys loved it. Like
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: I thought I was gonna get here, I got hit
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: with Bubba from everyone else, like yeah, so it was worth.
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: It was worth with everybody in the Lacker room. But
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: you were like yeah, but how was it when you
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: came back all those years later at Barclay Center. I mean,
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: that noise, that pop, it was unreal.
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: It was unreal, and I never thought that him and
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: I would receive an ovation like that. I mean it
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: was incredible. And to know that there were new WWE
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: fans that kind of knew who we were, but didn't
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: know who we were. They weren't there, or that they
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: weren't born during the time that me and Bubba did
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: ec W and of course the very first run of WWE,
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: they weren't there. But at the time the network was
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: pumping out a lot of stuff about us, trying to
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: educate the new fans on who the Dudleys really were.
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: So when we came out, I just didn't think the
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: ovation would have been as loud as it was. But again,
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: it's Brooklyn, New York. I'm born and raised in Brooklyn.
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: Bubba was from Queens and lived in Long Island after that,
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: so it was like a homecoming, yes, and anytime Bubba
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: and I had ever been in New York that was
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: what we got. But again, to do that on the
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: scale of a WWE and to have that many people
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: in a building, and then when that Pyro hit, that
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: was the one thing I loved about it because also
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: was because social media never got their hands on it
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: to let it know, even you guys in the bad.
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: We.
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: Basically when we got to the building, we were in
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: a very We were in a suv that was very
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: well tinted, and there were people outside had no idea
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: that it was us, and we kind of went inside
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: and went down in the elevator, went all the way down.
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: Mark Corona, who was head of talent relation at the time,
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: met us down there and said, don't get out the
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: car yet. We're gonna wait and make sure that every
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: area no one's there. And we got off the We
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: got out of the car, snuck into the bus. We
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: didn't come out and do anything or see anybody until
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: it was like, I think a match or two before
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: we were supposed to go out, and that was when
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: New Day came in and saw us for the first time.
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: What a night, What a reaction it was.
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: It was great. And you got two figures out of it.
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I got two figures and that's identical.
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: Well, this was a better version of the other one.
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: Pretty cool that your figure was so good they had
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: to do it again.
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: Absolutely, And one of the greatest things also, I thought,
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: was that the fact that you know, you guys, that
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: the newer generation had welcomed us with open arms. It
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: was that was one of my biggest fear of not
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: being able to be welcomed back, because I remember during
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: the Attitude ere when so many of the guys from
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: Andre and Hogan Era and even Dusty and Flair Era
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: would come into the locker room and guys like, Oh,
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: what the hell these old farts doing right? And I
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: thought that that was going to be the same reception,
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: but it wasn't. So we were eager and very honored
• 19:35
  Speaker 3: to be able to be in there with the new day,
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: with you guys, the USO's and all of that, the
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: Wyatt family. So we were really happy that you guys
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: welcomed us into your locker room. It used to be ours,
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: but we were gone, we straight away from home, not
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: by choice, but we left and you guys took over.
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: So it was our job to make you guys feel
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: comfortable with us.
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: Well, thank you, because we got to you know, wrestle guys.
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: We grew up rest like we've got to wrestle guys.
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: We grew up idolizing guys, We grew up watching wrestle.
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: So you guys taught us so much or in and
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: out of the ring.
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: Sure, I mean it was great, And I think that
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: was one of the things I was nervous about in
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: terms of becoming a producer, because after working with you
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: guys on that scale, I didn't know how it would
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: be perceived as a producer, because the producer is a
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: different ballgame than it is talent. And now I'm taking
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: my ideas and trying to give it to you because
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: this is the vision that the office wanted. Would you
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: accept me being a producer being able to do that?
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: And you guys did and you're a great producer. Oh,
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: thank you, thank you very much.
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: Well, let's go to your last figure, your most current figure.
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: But by the time this comes out, there'll probably something else.
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: You have so much emotionality seals all right here. It
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: is ringside exclusive. I'm sure you've had to have seen this.
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: I've got nine of them. Yes, this is the ECW is.
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: I don't know if it's EW or or WWW one
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: or the other. It's kind of both, right, it's a
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: little both.
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: Because remember when we first came back to the we
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: first came into the we were wearing Ti diuy and
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: the overalls I was and so Vince wanted a not
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: an ECW look, but he wanted a w W E look.
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: So we had to go back to the drawing board
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: and change and that's what we came in with the camels.
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: But it was one of those things where you know,
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: I was very happy to be able to see this
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: these action figures in that kind of ECW setting because
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: it brought back so many memories and it was so detailed.
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: At all this there's so much stuff. It's great.
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: Not to mention again I said it. On the other one,
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: the box alone looked just really cool, and to me,
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: that's always a selling point with me. If the presentation
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: on the outside looks good, I want to see what's
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: on the inside.
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: Absolutely again, all the fingertape, the wrist tape, but this
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: one has the ECW tag team titles, the perfect window
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: to sign and make money, right, That's it. That's the
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: most important part. Listen, how's that window making the money?
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: That's all I want. Keep those action figures coming. So yeah,
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: this one. So many fans were excited for this because finally,
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: you know, you guys are back in the Mattel families
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: that can start making figures of you guys. But now
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: that they've done this, I think they can make like
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: the Yellow Camo. I think they can make a Reverend
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: Devon with with Deacon Batista. Absolutely, Now that you guys
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: have those legends deals, you know, the skies, the women
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: and what figures they can.
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: Make absolutely, I mean, they can't go on and on,
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: and I think that's the great part about it. Not
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: only and this is something that I'm looking at right now.
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: Not only in front is cool, but the back is cool.
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: You know, look at the back, and then it has
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: a little story behind it, right, you know, so for
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: those little kids that still don't know who we are,
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: it gives a good story about who we are and
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: then going in and then look us up.
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: I think my personal favorite of all the Dudly Boys
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: is this two people right here. I love that one.
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: But what do you have a favorite? That's my favorite?
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: We agree this favorite, but you probably have I'm not
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: even kidding, like at least one hundred different figures, right
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: my over exaggerating. What do you think? Maybe just a
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: little bit, but I like that number. That means just
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: just think about all the royalty checks you got listen
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: over the years.
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: I wish we could say that we were on the
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: same level as the Rock And yeah, then we might
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: have come close to it in terms of merchandise, but man,
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: we were so over, you were so over, and then
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: it was it was really a good time to be
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: in a WWE and just to be in pro wrestling
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: at that time. I mean it was like we could
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: do no wrong, even when we were bad guys, even
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: when we were heels.
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: You debutre WWE in ninety nine or two thousand ninety nine.
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: It was August twenty fourth, nineteen ninety nine, so I
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: mean almost thirty years later, they're still cranking out product.
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: You guys were so over.
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: Yes, and that was the great part about it. One
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: of the things I loved there wasn't an action figure,
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: but it was a styrofoam three D.
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: I haven't yeah, yeah, yeah, I love that they made
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: so much merchand.
• 23:43
  Speaker 3: You guys, there was stuff that people would come even
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: before they started doing conventions and stuff like that, we
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: would do autograph signings, you know, through WWE, and people
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: would come to us and give us things to sign.
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: And we had no idea that w w had made it.
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: That's how much merchandise was out of us.
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: And it just breaks my heart that you don't have
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: everything we need. Guys. We need to track down what
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: Devon has and get them all the missing stuff. Absolutely,
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: please do that checklist and all the major marks. Well,
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: they'll get it for you.
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: Listen, I'm going to start writing down a list of
• 24:12
  Speaker 3: things when I see at these conventions and like I
• 24:15
  Speaker 3: want that that.
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, let's get it all absolutely all right, well Devon,
