Top 50 Greatest Wrestling Heels of all time
30. Bully Ray
One of ECW’s most significant pillars, Bubba Ray was the more outspoken and offensive member of The Dudley Boyz, spewing promos in ECW so filled with profanities, homophobia and slurs that it is truly shocking looking back. He would hold the ECW tag titles 8 times in an era of tag greatness for the company alongside D-Von.
The success continued in the WWF/E where he and D-Von became 10-time tag titleholders across the multiple tag titles. They made their mark feuding with Team EC and The Hardy Boys, continuing to be a reliable act for many more years, best as heels. When managed by Paul Heyman, in the alliance or as purveyors of the hardcore style – they are one of the more successful teams in wrestling history.
It was not until more separated from D-Von that he found his best heel run. This was where he became a muti-time TNA World Heavyweight champion, whilst running the company-dominating faction Aces & Eights. This group shook up the industry and although they may be an act of ridicule over the years, it did give Bully Ray the greatest heel run as his career. An angry, enraged character demanding respect – it gave him new light shined upon him now he was not in a team, as great as his run with D-Von was.
