The Dudley Boyz were known to lose high-profile matches in ECW, and Bully Ray was a recent guest on the “Busted Open Radio” podcast to discuss why Paul Heyman often booked them to lose. He said,
“We would beat Dreamer and Sandman every night, but no world titles were on the line. Every time Paul put a world championship on us was for us to drop it because he knew that any babyface team that beat the Dudleys instantly became credible.”
He continued, “And this is not my words, this is Paul’s words on how he built us. Paul knew he could beat us every single night, ‘But as long as I gave Bubba the microphone the next night, everything would be fine, because he would get all the heat back.’”
