WWE Hall of Famer D-Von Dudley recently appeared on an episode of Insight with Chris Van Vliet, where he talked about a variety of topics such as how a lot of people made fun of his Reverend character as well as how it got over with the fans the way it did due to the caliber of Superstars he defeated.
D-Von Dudley said:
“You know, a lot of people — Bubba makes fun of me. He says, ‘Oh, we don’t talk about that Reverend D-Von because he didn’t get over.’ I’m like, bullshit it didn’t. Look at all the people that I beat, Randy Orton, John Cena, Val Venis, Mark Henry, and the biggest one, Triple H. And I always said this, if Triple H didn’t believe that the Reverend D-Von gimmick was getting over the way it did then he would have never in a million years, especially at that time, would have laid down for me. He would have never let that happen.”
D-Von Dudley also talked about how his win over WWE Chief Content Officer Triple H was proof that the character was over with the fans because The Cerebral Assassin had a lot of power and a lot of say-so back then and he wouldn’t just put anyone over.
D-Von Dudley said:
“And Hunter had a lot of power and a lot of say-so back then. I’m not gonna say even more than he does now. But he had a lot of say-so back then; he had just married Stephanie. Him and Vince are freakin tight. They’re not butting heads or anything like that. They’re full-blown; here they go. If he had a disagreement at all, he would have said no; I don’t think so. I’ll beat D-Von. But I’m not letting D-Von go over on me.”
