WWE Hall of Famer Bully Ray (Bubba Ray Dudley) appeared on an episode of Busted Open Radio, where he talked about a number of topics including the impact ROH had on the wrestling business.
Ray said, “Ring of Honor, of all the companies out there, including ECW, is responsible for more stars of today than any other company ever was. There’s only a handful of guys, a small, small handful of guys that came out of ECW and truly made it. No other smaller companies out there that anybody really came from, and the guys who came over from WCW, they just came over in the acquisition.”
On how he believes ROH deserves more credit than ECW:
“Those individual stars are probably held in higher regard, or remembered more than ECW was for revolutionizing pro wrestling. So Ring of Honor does not get nearly enough credit.”
