"A bit of a controversial pick for the WWE Hall of Fame (although he's not alone in that regard... But that's what you get when a) it's a Hall of Fame for entertainment rather than sport and b), for most of it's history, one man controlled who was inducted). I don't think many of us can really comment on what he did with much authority, but here's what Dave Meltzer, who has access to many more connected and knowledgable people than most of us, had to say about Dudley in the June 14 2004 edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter: 'James Dudley, who worked for Vince McMahon Sr., in his old Washington, DC Coliseum office dating back to the 50s and who was perhaps Sr.'s most loyal employee, passed away on 5/28 at the age of 93. Dudley was one of the few people that when Sr. sold the company to his son in 1982, he said always should be taken care of, similar to Freddie Blassie. Vince thought so much of him that they inducted him into the WWF Hall of Fame in 1994, even though virtually no wrestling fans had ever heard of him. Dudley once remarked that if his own father or Sr. were in a position where he could only save one of their lives, he would save Sr. He worked in the office and was Sr.'s driver. While he was billed as "manager extraordinaire" by Vince when he put him in the Hall of Fame, only the oldest fans with the best memories even remembered who he was. He briefly managed some African-American wrestlers in the 50s, most notably Bobo Brazil. Vince narrated the graphic that aired on Smackdown, mainly emphasizing Dudley's loyalty to the company.'"
