Talk about it here.

The Dudleys are open about being WWF-bound and claim that they have no plans of passing the torch or doing the job on the way out. They call Vince their hero and savior, and promise to lay the ECW tag titles at his feet. I hate these meta angles.

Yep, the Dudley's are goners but they will not pass the torch to anyone. I guess this is ok in a sense that ECW has played off people leaving before but this is a heel side of things but when you are going to a new audience next week with the TNN stuff, this does seem like it could go over a lot of causal viewer's heads.

THE SUMMER OF PUNK DUDLEY. Can't wait. I guess the well had already been poisoned by Vince talking about the "time-honored tradition" two years earlier.
