The Dupps
The Dupps were a professional wrestling tag team in southern independents and ECW during the late 1990s composed of Bo Dupp and Jack Dupp. They feuded with Amish Roadkill & Danny Doring over who should have a shot at the ECW Tag-Team Titles. The rivalry culminated when The Dupps signed a World Wrestling Federation developmental deal, resulting in a 'Loser Leaves Town' match on the February 25, 2000 episode of ECW on TNN, that the Dupps lost.[2]

After a long stint in the WWF/E developmental system and primarily wrestling infrequently on WWF Jakked, both Dupps were eventually let go in 2001.
During the early days of Total Nonstop Action Wrestling, the team consisted of Bo Dupp and Stan Dupp, and managed by Fluff Dupp. Bo, Stan and Fluff were stereotypical southerners, frequently chewing tobacco and teasing an incestuous relationship. The Dupps became the first Champions of the "Dupp Cup" but lost it to the Hardcore Midget Teo.
Stan Dupp went on to use a similar gimmick in World Wrestling Entertainment as "Trevor Murdoch", before being released in July 2008. He returned to TNA in 2009 under the same gimmick as well, though with the name "Jethro Holliday" this time.
