Dudley Boyz

Team 3D, Brother Ray and Brother Devon (formerly the Dudley Boyz, Bubba Ray Dudley and D-Von Dudley) are one of the most successful tag teams in wrestling history. They were part of ECW's infamous Dudley Family until August 1999, when they joined the World Wrestling Federation. They remained in the WWF (later WWE) until July 5, 2005 when they also lost the "Dudley Boyz" name since it is trademarked by WWE. They now compete for TNA Wrestling.

Team 3D's gimmick can be summed up in one word: tables. As the Dudley Boyz, their claim to fame in the WWF was bringing the use of tables as weapons into the wrestling mainstream, often using their signature double-team move, the 3D, to put victims through a table. They were also part of the development of a match known as TLC (Tables, Ladders and Chairs) along with the Hardy Boyz (ladders) and Edge and Christian (chairs).
