The Dudley Brothers were a professional wrestling stable active in Extreme Championship Wrestling between 1995 and 1999. The gimmick of the group was that, despite their obvious differences in physical appearance and race, the members were all said to be the sons of the fictional Willy Loman-esque "Big Daddy" Dudley, who had traveled America as a salesman throughout the 1960s and 1970s. Despite the differences in their races and sizes, the Dudleys shared a similar ring attire of taped glasses, unkempt hair, tie-dye shirts, high-tops and overalls. The gimmick was based on the Hanson Brothers from the 1977 movie Slap Shot. History Extreme Championship Wrestling (1995–1999) Origins (1995–1996) The original three members of the Dudley family were Dudley Dudley (the only one of the brothers with a Dudley for a mother), Big Dick Dudley (the menacing, animalistic enforcer of the group) and Snot Dudley (the underdog of the group, who would pick his nose during matches). They made their first appearance on July 1, 1995, at Hardcore Heaven, where the tag team of Dudley Dudley and Snot Dudley defeated The Pitbulls. Shortly after their debut, the Dudley Brothers aligned themselves with Raven, joining Raven's Nest. At Heat Wave on July 15, 1995, Dudley Dudley and Snot Dudley teamed with Raven in a loss to Tommy Dreamer and The Pitbulls. After Snot Dudley was injured in a legitimate jet ski accident, he was replaced on the September 17, 1995 episode of ECW Hardcore TV by Dances with Dudley, who was said to be the child of Big Daddy Dudley and a Cheyenne Native American woman. Dudley Dudley and Dances with Dudley teamed with one another through the latter half of 1995, competing against teams such as The Gangstas and The Bad Crew. In September 1995, Dudley Dudley and Dances with Dudley unsuccessfully challenged The Pitbulls for the ECW World Tag Team Championship. The group was later expanded when the obese, slobbish Chubby Dudley and the mute, placard-wielding Sign Guy Dudley (the result of Big Daddy Dudley's brief incarceration in an asylum) began accompanying Dudley Dudley and Dances with Dudley to ringside. In October 1995, the Dudley family was joined by Buh Buh Ray Dudley, a stuttering, dancing, overweight hillbilly. After Dudley Dudley left ECW in late 1995, Buh Buh Ray Dudley began teaming with Dances with Dudley, facing tag teams such as The Public Enemy and The Eliminators. At Holiday Hell
