Spike Dudley on asking Vince for weed, taking insane bumps, ECW, Marko Stunt Jun 18, 2020

Show notes

Spike Dudley chats with Chris Van Vliet about his legendary career in ECW, WWE and TNA. He talks about how he originally went to wrestling school to be a referee, he also discusses the crazy bumps he took including having to convince The Undertaker to chokeslam him out of the ring. He gets to the bottom of that infamous story that Bubba Ray Dudley tells about him asking Vince McMahon for weed. Spike doesn't do a lot of interviews, so it was an honor to speak with him. I hope you enjoy this as much as I did!
