In a shocking revelation, WWE Hall of Famer D-Von Dudley recently opened up about his harrowing experience during a brutal wrestling match in 1996. The veteran wrestler shared a haunting account of a deadly incident that took place nearly three decades ago, when he was part of a tag team match that turned violent and bloody.
The fateful match, which took place in 1996, saw D-Von Dudley team up with a 17-year-old aspiring wrestler named Mass Transit to face New Jack and Mustafa. However, the match quickly spiralled out of control, with New Jack and Mustafa isolating Mass Transit in the ring and assaulting him mercilessly. D-Von Dudley, helpless to intervene, was forced to hide under the ring as the brutal attack continued.
New Jack, notorious for his hardcore wrestling style, took things to a disturbing new level when he used a homemade weapon to cut open Mass Transit’s forehead, leaving him gushing blood. The incident was so severe that police were called to the scene to investigate.
Speaking on Maven’s YouTube Channel, D-Von Dudley recounted the horror of that fateful night, revealing that he was hiding under the ring, desperately trying to escape the chaos. The incident remains one of the most notorious in wrestling history, and D-Von’s candid account serves as a stark reminder of the dangers of extreme wrestling.
In a separate interview with Screen Rant, D-Von Dudley also shared his thoughts on Roman Reigns’ record-breaking title reign, which spanned an impressive 1,300 days before he lost the Universal Championship to Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 40. Reigns’ absence from WWE television has left fans wondering when he will make his return.
As the wrestling world continues to speculate about Reigns’ future, D-Von Dudley’s candid revelations offer a sobering reminder of the darker side of professional wrestling. The WWE Hall of Famer’s firsthand account of the 1996 incident serves as a powerful reminder of the risks and consequences of extreme wrestling, and the importance of prioritizing wrestler safety above all else.
