Mark LoMonaco (born July 14, 1971) is an American professional wrestler whose career spans major North American promotions and several prominent ring names. He is widely known as Bully Ray during his time with Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) and as Buh Buh Ray / Bubba Ray Dudley during his runs in Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW) and World Wrestling Federation/Entertainment (WWF/E).

Early career and ECW

LoMonaco debuted on the independent circuit in the mid-1990s and rose to wide attention in ECW, where he adopted the exaggerated, boisterous Buh Buh Ray Dudley character. Teaming with Devon (D‑Von Dudley), he helped define a tag team identity built on comedy, crowd engagement and high‑impact table spots. The team's chemistry and innovative double-team offense became a hallmark of ECW's tag division; contemporary overviews of that era often reference their work here.

WWF/E and mainstream exposure

When the Dudley team moved to the national stage in WWF/E, they were repackaged as Bubba Ray and D‑Von Dudley and became central figures of the tag division during a period of rapid growth in professional wrestling. The duo became known for using tables in their matches and for a signature double-team finisher that remains widely recognized by fans. Their success in mainstream television and pay‑per‑view events raised their profile beyond the independent and regional scenes; further information about that tenure is available through promotion archives.

TNA, reinvention as Bully Ray, and singles work

In later years LoMonaco reinvented himself as Bully Ray in TNA/Impact Wrestling, shifting toward a harder‑edged singles persona and taking on prominent on‑screen leadership roles. This period emphasized character development and long‑form storytelling, including faction leadership and authority‑figure angles. As a singles competitor he attained top billing on several major shows and held a world title in the promotion, demonstrating an ability to transition from tag success to main‑event singles pushes.

Style, signature moves, and persona

LoMonaco's in‑ring style blends power moves, brawling and crowd psychology. With Devon he executed synchronized double‑team maneuvers, most famously the Dudley Death Drop (commonly called the "3D"). As a singles performer he often used powerbomb variations, strong striking, and character‑driven promos to engage audiences.

The Dudley team has been celebrated in retrospectives and honored by industry institutions for their influence on tag‑team storytelling and for popularizing the use of tables as a recurring match element. In later stages of his career LoMonaco has continued to make appearances on major and independent cards, participate in interviews and documentaries, and contribute as an on‑screen and backstage figure.
