>Bay Ragni was a wrestler who appeared in ECW in the mid 1990’s as “Chubby Dudley.” Ragni became frustrated with the promotion when Paul Heyman continually brought in other wrestlers to portray Dudleys. All he wanted to do was wrestle and as he put it, was continually pushed aside. Ragni made the decision to quit ECW and return to the independents.
>While back on the indie scene, Ragni used the Chubby Dudley gimmick a few times. Word got back to Heyman that Ragni was using an ECW gimmick without his authorization. Bay Ragni was working at a pizzeria at the time to help supplement his income. One day while working at the pizzeria, Bagni received a phone call
>On the other end of the phone call, was none other than ‘The Human Suplex Machine’ Taz. Taz didn’t call him to see how he was doing. It was to threaten Ragni with physical violence if he did not “cease and desist” with using the Chubby Dudley gimmick. Taz made it known that he knew when Ragni was wrestling next and if he found out that he used the Dudley name….Taz was going to hurt him. Bay Ragni ended up changing his gimmick.
