WWE Hall of Famer Bully Ray (Bubba Ray Dudley) appeared on Busted Open Radio to discuss various topics, including his biggest payday in WWE history.
Ray said, “Biggest payoff [in WWE] ever was that Invasion pay-per-view; when it was Five-On-Five. I could not believe – dude, when I saw that cheque, I was like, ‘What the Hell?’ I couldn’t believe it. It was really weird for me and D-Von to be Team Invasion, like WCW/ECW. I believe the original idea was the idea of The Invasion to just be WCW, but – no disrespect to the talent – WWE didn’t feel like the WCW talent that were invading was gonna be strong enough.”
On The Dudley Boyz joining The Alliance:
“Me and D-Von felt really odd because we were WWE guys by then. You know, we had done a lot in WWE. We had the Royal Rumble Tables match, we had a Ladder Match, maybe even one TLC or two TLC by then. It was odd to be on the other side.”
