Jeff Bradley is an American professional wrestler. He is perhaps best known for his appearances with Extreme Championship Wrestling as Dudley Dudley, the leader of the Dudley Family.

[edit] Career

Bradley was born in San Antonio, Texas and raised in Brandon, Florida. As a child, he attended wrestling shows at the Fort Homer Hesterly Armory along with his family, and thus developed an interest in wrestling. As an adult, he began training under the Malenko brothers, Boris and Dean, and was also one of the last wrestlers to receive training from Hiro Matsuda, who was visiting the Malenko's school when Bradley began training. His first match was in Tampa, Florida against Gary Nice.

[edit] World Wrestling Federation

Bradley toured Australia in 1993, and, upon his return to America, was brought into the WWF by Jimmy Del Ray. Bradley was given the ring name Charlie Hunter, and worked for the WWF for two years, in the course of which he wrestled both The British Bulldog and Shawn Michaels and appeared on Monday Night Raw.

[edit] Extreme Championship Wrestling (1995-1996)

Bradley was renamed Dudley Dudley and arrived in ECW on July 1, 1995 as part of The Dudley Family along with his kayfabe half-brothers Snot Dudley and Big Dick Dudley. Dudley Dudley was known for his deep voice and strange laugh during interviews, and had the distinction of being the only pure Dudley - while all the Dudleys allegedly had (the apocryphal) Big Daddy Dudley as a common father, Dudley Dudley was the only Dudley who had (the equally fictitious) Momma Dudley as a mother. As a result, Dudley Dudley was the unquestioned leader of the stable. The Dudley Boys feuded with The Pitbulls, and were members of Raven's Nest. In late 1995, the Dudleys were joined by Dances with Dudley and Buh Buh Ray Dudley. Dudley Dudley teamed with Dance With Dudley after his former partner, Snot, was badly injured in a jet ski accident. He left ECW in early 1996 after deciding to take a hiatus from wrestling.

[edit] World Championship Wrestling (1995, 1997)

In October 1997 Bradley appeared with WCW as a jobber. He had previously appeared with WCW as a jobber in 1995, wrestling Brian Pillman at a house show.

[edit] World tour

Bradley worked in Japan for Big Japan Pro Wrestling and the International Wrestling Association of Japan, competing in a variety of deathmatches, and toured the world, appearing in Africa and South America. As part of NWA Mid-Atlantic, Bradley was part of the first ever professional wrestling tour in the People's Republic of China between December 27, 2003 and January 4, 2004. In late 2004 Bradley toured Austria and Hungary with Chris Raaber's European Wrestling Alliance. Bradley also toured Puerto Rico on several occasions as part of the International Wrestling Association, wrestling as Bad Boy Bradley.

[edit] Florida

Bradley returned to Florida and began wrestling on the independent circuit as The original Dudley Dudley, and for IPW Hardcore as Evil Snack, an evil chef. He later began wrestling for NWA Florida, but was sidelined with a serious biceps injury in January 2004

Bradley had trained numerous wrestlers at Dean Malenko's School of professional wrestling in Tampa while Malenko was touring Japan, and on December 1, 2004, Bradley became a trainer at Steve Keirn’s School of Hard Knocks, also located in Tampa.
