According to former WWE writer Vince Russo, Paul Heyman attempted to prevent The Dudley Boyz from leaving Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW) despite their desire to join WWE in 1999. Russo, who was responsible for recommending ECW wrestlers to Vince McMahon as part of WWE’s talent exchange agreement with Heyman’s company, alleged that Heyman lied to McMahon about The Dudley Boyz being uninterested in joining WWE. Russo expressed frustration at Heyman’s dishonesty, suggesting that Heyman preferred to keep the successful tag team in his own promotion rather than see them move on to WWE.
“What really p****d me off is when I went to Vince and said, ‘Vince, we should get so and so. He’d be good for the company, he’d be good on the show,'” Russo said. “Vince would go to Paul and say, ‘Paul, we’d like so and so.’ And then Paul would actually come back and tell Vince that (…) ‘The Dudley Boyz aren’t interested in coming to the WWE.’ And I’m like, ‘Really? Really, bro? They’d rather be at your bingo hall, right?'”
