In a recent article talking about a $1,200,000 donation that WWE is making to the Sports Legacy Institute, the Founder of the institute – former WWE Tough Enough competitor Chris Nowinswki – talked about how he received a concussion from Bully Ray when he was portraying the Bubba Ray Dudley character in WWE. Here is the part of the article that references Ray and some of Nowinski’s comments:
Nowinski sustained a concussion in a 2003 wrestling match. The problems he had in the aftermath, from a kick in the head by Bubba Ray Dudley, fueled his interest in prevention and treatment.
“It wasn’t his fault. I was too close,” Nowinski said of wrestling Dudley. “And unfortunately I lied about my symptoms for five weeks and kept going. … I had a headache and was nauseous every time I got my heart rate up, but I fought through it as best I could.”
