When you think of the Dudleys in pro wrestling, your mind will probably go directly to Bubba Ray and D-Von Dudley. The ultra successful Dudley Boyz tag team went on to win numerous championships with ECW, WWE and TNA. While it is understandable to immediately think of them….truth is…there were a number of other individuals in the Dudley family. Those are the ones that we focus on in this edition of ‘Whatever Happened To?’
Today, we look at these other Dudley members and what they have been up to since they were one big happy, dysfunctional “family.”

Adolfo Bermudez was a wrestler who competed in Puerto Rico, Japan and several independent groups. His biggest exposure came while wrestling for ECW as a member of the Dudley Family in 1995-1996.
