WWE Star Backstage Heat For Undertaker Match Finish

A WWE Hall of Famer says he got backstage heat over a match finish he suggested for The Undertaker and Brock Lesnar.

Speaking on D-Von Dudley’s YouTube channel, Bubba Ray Dudley told a story about the third Hell in a Cell match that took place between Undertaker and Lesnar.

Dudley said that he actually came up with the finish for that match as nobody else had any ideas, so Lesnar asked him.

He explained:

“Brock tells me, ‘We have nothing for the finish.’ Even Taker. Nobody had anything. And he’s like, ‘You got anything?’ I said, ‘Yeah, I’ve got something.’ I said, ‘It’s only been done once, and it’s been done by me, but it hasn’t been seen on the world stage of the WWE.’

“And I laid out the idea to them. And Brock gets up and he walks away. I go, ‘Where you going?’ He goes, ‘I’m going to Vince.’ Half hour later, I see Brock, ‘Thanks Bubba, that’s what we’re doing tonight.’

“I’m happy that they liked my idea. Brock spoke to Taker, he liked the idea. They’re gonna run with it. They executed it, it worked great.

“Before the pay-per-view had started, Vince walks by me, we just happened to be in the same place at the same time, he stops, looks at me, shakes my hand, and he goes, ‘Thank you very much for that finish.’ ‘No problem boss, you got it.’

“I got credit for it. And I got heat for it. Massive f**king heat for it. Why? I don’t know. But none of the top dog producers in the company came up with that idea for those two main eventers.

“I can’t understand why I would get heat for just coming up with a good idea when one of the guys in the match asked me for it, and oh, by the way, The Undertaker liked it also. Now you’re all mad at me because I came up with a good idea?'”
