• “So February 15th I’ll be ready to go” – WWE Hall Of Famer
During a “Signed by Superstars” signing, WWE Hall Of Famer D-Von Dudley (who recently left WWE) was asked if he’ll enter the 2023 Men’s Royal Rumble match this Saturday night.
Below is what D-Von said:
“I’ll tell you where I’m not going to be. No, I will not be at the Rumble. My back surgery I just had February 15th (2022), so February 15th of this year will be a year that I will be cleared and I’ll be ready to go.
Do I have one more match in me? Possibly. I have to get cleared by the doctors first. Remember, I had back surgery on February 15th. I had three discs removed and put into bolts and screws. I’m definitely dealing with that right now.
I feel great, I’m back in the gym. I’m doing what I gotta do. I just gotta be able to move around the way I used to in order to get back in the ring again.”
When he was asked to compare his WWE Producer job under Vince McMahon and Triple H, he said:
“Let me just put it to you this way. I enjoyed my time with WWE. I have nothing bad to say. I think the job is stressful whether you’re with Vince or Triple H because again, it’s a LIVE television show.
You got guys who can be primadonnas at times and if they want to do something they feel passionate about, they’re gonna wanna do it. You’ve got to be the guy to tell them ‘no’ because this is what the boss wants.
In my opinion, working with both Vince and Hunter was great. I had a good time. I learned a lot and it made me the person who I am today. So I’ve got nothing bad to say about either man.
I know people have their personal opinions on what they feel about certain people who were their bosses. I’ve got nothing negative to say.”
