D-Von Dudley Complains About Today’s Wrestlers Being Rude & Disrespectful

WWE and Impact Wrestling Hall of Famer D-Von Dudley had a 28-year in-ring career and is now a WWE producer. He first made his name as part of Extreme Championship Wrestling, a promotion known for transforming American wrestling with its take no prisoners attitude. However, off-camera, it’s believed most ECW talent respected those who came before them, especially after Terry Funk came in and legitimized the promotion. Now speaking on his Table Talk podcast, along with guest Darren Young he discussed how many of today’s current crop of wrestlers lack that respect and called them rude. He did, though, make sure to exclude Darren Young, Drew McIntyre, Miro, and Sheamus from that statement.

Nowadays in this business, the young guys that are brought up in this business, they are disrespectful. They’re rude. Listen, Generation X, which is my generation, the Attitude Era and all of that, yes, we had attitude, but there is one thing I will say about my generation is that we respect those that came before us. That’s one of the problems that we have with a lot of young talent. Darren, along with a host of other guys, and I’m just going to name them: Drew McIntyre, Rusev, and Sheamus, they always had respect for the older talent that came in and always wanted to pick our brains. It was great being in the locker room with those guys. It really was. D-Von Dudley

D-Von’s two eldest sons, Terrence and Terrell Hughes, are currently looking to make a name for themselves as part of the current generation of wrestlers. Having been trained at their father’s Team 3D Academy, they’ve likely had it drilled into them from a young age the right way to behave in a locker room, and it seemingly is paying off as they’ve become AEW Dark regulars.
