A WWE veteran didn't mince his words one bit while rating the legendary tag team The Dudley Boyz. Booker T gave the duo a B+ rating and explained his reasoning behind the same.

When fans talk about some of the greatest tag teams in the history of World Wrestling Entertainment, as well as pro-wrestling as a whole, The Dudley Boyz are almost always mentioned. The two stars did incredibly well as a tag team in multiple promotions back in the day.

Booker T doesn't seem to believe The Dudley Boyz were an elite-level tag team. He recently gave the tandem a B+ rating and explained why on The Hall of Fame podcast.

“The Dudleys' ECW career. I say, Look, man, that was a regional company. Those guys working at a bingo hall, really, to be, let’s just be honest, you got to wipe that part of your careers out. All right, don’t even, you can’t even include it. [They] did some good work in Japan. All right, but who remembers that here in the States? Do you remember any Japanese matches? WWE, yeah, you would not remember the Dudleys if it wasn’t for the Hardys and Edge & Christian. You may not ever have heard of the Dudleys if it wasn’t for those guys, right? Am I right or wrong? So my thing is, I said I give those guys a B+ at best.” [H/T WrestlingNewsCo]
