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.

For that little thing he did, Daddy had to spend a little time in an insane asylum, and well that kinda popped-out Sign Guy Dudley.

At Holiday Hell on December 29, 1995, the Dudley Brothers left Raven's Nest, turning the group face as a result.

[6] On the April 11th, 1998 episode of ECW Hardcore TV, The Bushwhackers made an appearance as the "Bush-Dudleys".

In October 1999 at Re-enter the Sandman, Sign Guy Dudley renamed himself "Lou E. Dangerously", leaving Spike as the sole remaining Dudley in ECW until the promotion folded in April 2001, when he too joined the WWF, reuniting with Buh Buh Ray and D-Von.

For a short time, Stacy Keibler acted as a valet for the Dudleys under the name of "The Duchess of Dudleyville".

"[13] In early 2007, actor Steve Schirripa appeared alongside Bubba Ray (renamed "Brother Ray") and D-Von (renamed "Brother Devon") in Total Nonstop Action Wrestling, where he was depicted as a distant relative of the Dudley family.

As a jab back at WWE, they wore shirts with middle fingers on them with the message "Trademark This!"

and constantly tread a fine line of the official trademark by either having others use their common phrase "Get the tables!"

When Spike was released from WWE shortly thereafter, he was forced to work under the name Matt "LSD" Hyson in various independent promotions.

Former ECW wrestler Raven has said multiple times that he is the person who came up with the original Dudley idea.
