D-Von Dudley heavily preferred working for Paul Heyman as opposed to Vince McMahon.
D-Von Dudley earned his first major break in professional wrestling while working with Paul Heyman in Extreme Championship Wrestling. After leaving ECW, he and Bubba Ray Dudley went to work for Vince McMahon and WWE. Now, he is reflecting on the similarities and differences of working for both of the legendarily infamous minds in professional wrestling.
In the latest video on his YouTube channel, D-Von Dudley spoke about the highlights and low points of working for both Paul Heyman and Vince McMahon. In the end, he concluded that he preferred his time working for Heyman by a landslide.
Even though he considers McMahon to be a better businessman, Dudley admitted that he has too many formative experiences working for Heyman and was able to build a closer relationship with him, leading to his bias.
"Who do I feel was the greatest boss to work for? Paul Heyman or Vincent Kennedy McMahon, it's a landslide with Paul," he said. "I love you, Vince, don't get me wrong, but the bond that I had with him before I met you, that kind of takes over. So I'm sorry, but no hard feelings. Paul was just somebody that made you feel connected to him. He made you feel like he genuinely cared because he did. I will always be grateful to him, and I will always owe him gratitude like you wouldn't believe, for what he's done for me and my family. So Paul, thank you. Thank you for always being in my corner, and thank you for believing in D-Von, because without you, there would be no me."
