Spike Dudley unknowingly had an interaction with Vince McMahon that he immediately regretted.
Bully Ray was the most recent guest on Stories with Brisco and Bradshaw, and during their conversation, the men exchanged Spike Dudley stories. All three agreed that Spike was a great person who had the respect of the locker room and would do anything to help get anyone over. Bully went so far as saying he hopes Spike is inducted into the Hall of Fame one day.
Continuing on from there, Bully revealed that he caught Spike smoking in the bathroom one night and joked that it was then that he realized how Spike could take so much punishment in the ring. Here is what he said:
"I was looking for him and I couldn't find him. I walked into the men's room and I see his little boots in one of the stalls, he used to spray paint them with polka dots, and I was like, 'Spike, you in here?' All I heard was, '[Coughs repeatedly]' and this big cloud of smoke came out of the stall. I was like, 'Oh, that's how you're able to do it every night.'"
Prompted by Bradshaw, Bully Ray then recanted how one night, while driving with Shane McMahon, Spike inadvertently asked Vince McMahon if he had any good pot. Here's what happened:
"Me, Shane, [Tommy] Dreamer, and Spike - This is when Shane was on the road with us. We're probably driving at three in the morning, have no business being on the road but we were. Shane looks over at me and he goes, 'Come on, let's call Pop.' I'm like, 'Horrible idea. Do not.' He's like, 'No, no, come on, let's call him.' I'm like, 'He's probably sleeping. He's like, 'He never sleeps.'
Before I could say anything else, he's dialling the phone, and he's like, 'Pop, yeah, yeah, no, no, Bubba wants to talk to you,' and he hands me the phone. [I nervously say] 'Vince.' He's like, 'Why are you corrupting my son, Bubba?' I was like, 'You know it's the other way around.' [Vince replies] 'Ha ha ha. Don't do anything stupid, and make sure you get home safe.'
I hand it back to Shane and Shane goes, 'Hey Spike, you want to say hello to Vince?' Spike doesn't think Vince is on the phone. Spike takes the phone, he goes, 'Hey, Vinny, you got any good pot?' [After hearing Vince reply] Spike threw the phone at the windshield. Shane's phone exploded. Spike was terrified. The next day of TV, he did everything he possibly could to avoid Vince."
Making his name in ECW in the mid-to-late 90s, Spike Dudley would go on to work with WWE from 2001-2005. He would eventually join TNA (IMPACT) Wrestling before retiring from in-ring competition in 2015.
