View Full Version : D'Lo Brown to make WWE Return
Well if you have saw D'Lo Brown did some dark matches for the WWE this week. Though he was just visiting it can lead you think that maybe WWE might give D'Lo another shot as he is a veteran and to me he wasn't that bad in the ring. Though i dont see him anything for unless he was to go to Smackdown least there he work the mid card and main event if needed on TV. I wouldn't mind if they brought D'Lo back
Thoughts on a Maybe D'Lo Brown return to the WWE?

I guess it's possible for D'lo to make some sort of return since he also wrestled in a dark match's. I'm sure we will get some kind of update soon. I actually wouldn't mind seeing him on ECW or SD! I'd prefer having him on ECW it would be a good show where he could be used often and have matches with some of the younger up and comers. I just think he would fit in well in the ECW mid card since he is a veteran and pretty decent in the ring but on RAW he would get lost and not used. Him getting brought back could happen but i'm not sure if this might have just been a one time thing or something. I guess we'll see.

I wouldn't doubt he is trying to make a return. I don't think he just arrived backstage at RAW and had a dark match the next night prior to SmackDown! just because he was bored. My guess is he arrived with his former NOA teammate Ron Simmons because obviously they're friends and since Ron is a current employee, maybe he was trying to help D'lo to get his job back and possibly had a "try out match" the next night?
I was a fan of his back in the late 90's and early 00's when he was an Intercontinental champion and apart of the Nation but I thought the stable Lo Down sucked when he teamed with Chaz. I would like to see him on the Raw roster but he would get buried, so possibly on the ECW brand so he can get a good push?
This is great news. Hopefully he will get signed again.

I can't remember but last time he was in WWE wasn't Teddy Long his manager & turned him heel, maybe Teddy can swing him over to Smackdown they need some one like him that can jump in & spice things up.

I think, personally that a D'Lo Brown return wouldn't be a bad thing at all, especially considering the recent events that have gone down, I mean look at it,
firstly you've got the number of injuries that have ravaged the company recently. Most of the main event scene is laid out with injuries, and Smackdown! has become nothing more than a joke recently. Putting in somebody like D'Lo who can work on Smackdown! or ECW, would not enhance the main event scene, but would help things as a worker who can really work, to teach and put over the newer guys who are on the stepping stones to success.
Secondly, the company is lacking in star power thoroughly, I mean you only have to look at Smackdown! with their 3 top guys as Khali, Batista, and Kane. Although Kane is a veteran and can work in the right environment, he isn't championship material anymore, he's put on weight, and is getting slower, and isn't over as a title holder, and nor would he be. Batista had his moment, but his act is old and he's been given too much exposure...fans are losing support for him fast, and he can't work. Khali is the worst of the bunch...this guy shouldn't even be on T.V....his matches are some of the worst I ever seen, he has NO personality/gimmick, and the fans just wish he would go away....no matter how hard they push him, he will never be a main event calibre performer, or over with the fans. Adding D'Lo in to help the young midcarders, might just help create faster stars, so Smackdown! will have a new main eventer or two, hopefully just that little bit quicker to take over from these three, and that coupled with the returns of Edge and Undertaker, might just save Smackdown!
It would be a good move for both parties, as D'Lo would pick up a pay-cheque, and the company could use his strong points to their advantage. However it should be noted, I don't think he should be pushed as a main eventer, he isn't over with the fans enough, and doesn't have the mic skills or finishing move to get really that over....but his skills in the ring are of paramount importance, he'd play a role similar to Finlay, in my opinion...be a performer who isn't considered a title chaser, but is excellent in the ring, and can teach the younger guys something.

D'Lo was a good wrestler in WWE and i think he'd fit in best in ECW because they need someone new to make their main event more interesting. something other than CM Punk vs Morrison. i'd like to see him in an extreme rules match against CM Punk.

I would like to see D'Lo return..I think the last time we seen D'Lo in WWE was when he was with Teddy Long and the next night we seen Rodney Mack With Teddy..Then I guess he went to TNA. But I think he would fit best in ECW,maybe have him a Upper-Midcarder or build him to a main-eventer in ecw so we could see more top heels or faces there
I think you guys have hit the nail on the head, dlo is the man in regards to work rate and the wwe needs to stop relying on big guys to get the job done and just let people like pink,richards, and dlo work, i would welcome him back with open arms, dlo didnt get the main event push he needed and i thought that was a shame

I always liked D'Lo, he's a great wrestler and I think a brand like ECW could really use a vetern like D'Lo, I remember in TNA he had a great ladder match with AJ Styles, one of my all time favorite ladder matches to tell you the truth, I hope D'Lo does come back, is sent to ECW and feuds with the likes of Burke, Cor Von( where is he btw?), Punk, and Morrison, if he's sent to Raw he'll just be another jobber like Val, so I'd want him to stay away from Raw, SD! would be ok, but I think he be best utilized on ECW, but's that's if WWE even brings him back

Maybe there's a New Nation coming to Smackdown soon. Just a thought. but overall I think it would be a good move to sign him and put him over on Smackdown. I watched him wrestle in TNA when he left WWE and I thought he was actually really good there. He had charisma and his ability shined more there. When he was last in the WWE he sometimes looked like a sloppy beginner. Maybe it was less pressure not being on the big stage, because back then TNA was just doing the weekly pay-per-view,and he could let it all hang out. He had some good matches with JJ for the title when he was there. I think he would work well on Smackdown possibly feuding for the US title down the line, and he could still work with some of the young guns in ECW as Smackdown and ECW travel together. I think it could be a good fit.
he would be more suited to ecw, dlo needs a push at the big one instead of a mid card title, plus he is ore of a established talent rather then young talent like morisson and can work better then anyone, heres to dlo and lets hope he gets there

Oh god.I saw him about a year ago and he had gotten huuuge ...maybe theyre going to have him have a moob battle with big daddy V!
I cant see that D'lo would do anything except for walk around shaking his head shouting "You better recognise" ala Ron Simmons

D'Lo coming back wouldn't be a bad I idea at all.He was a talented wrestler and he could bring a little bit of starpower to ECW.They need him a lot over there.CorVon is having family problems and is taking time off I believe.Anyways, it would be a good move to bring him to ECW.

His technical style would actually fit in well with ECW i think as many of the old ECW guys were very technical implying holds and suplexes much like Taz. He could get traded to Smackdown after a while as part of a deal so that he could chase for the US title because we could see some very competitive matches between DLo and MVP. I liked his performance in the 2000 royal rumble actually back in Attitude he was pretty good never main event but you know now i could see him jump back and fourth from main event to mid card. He could get a low number in the rumble and last pretty long and have Kane eliminate him pretty koolish and have Styles say "OMG" and Cole be astounded and say nothing then have JBL say "well cant argue with Kane thats an upset!" and have JR say something technical like the time and how long he lasted and that It wasnt surprising Kane made the elimination!

Apparently, the guy had gotten a very loud ovation when he came out for his dark match last week. Obviously (as someone stated above) the guy's not in tremendous shape, and I'm sure that if he is to make a return to TV, he'll have to sort that out.
He seems like the kind of guy that would fit well in a midcard area, but I don't know if he'd be challenging for the title. I think he would work well as a face on SmackDown, as they definitely need him, and a veteran like him could do wonders for them over there.
But like I said, if the guy is out of shape, that's understandable. But I think he'll be doing a few more dark matches before the WWE decide to bring him up. Age could be a factor in just how good he is, although I daresay he would still have that technical skill that he used to, at least a little of it. The crowd is cheering for him though, so they obviously want to see him, so we might be adding D'Lo to the SmackDown roster sooner rather than later if he gets his way and gets in to shape.
I dont think smackdown is the place for dlo, ecw would be a perfect fit, as long as he gets back into the habbit of things, i would love to see the man make his moves and work his magic in the wwe
Big Ace
08-17-2007, 07:58 PM
I think he was being cheered mainly for the reason that it's MSG, and quite frankly they remember EVERYONE. If that show took place in North Carolina, I doubt the whole crowd would remember him. No knock on North Carolina.
I thought in his prime, D'Lo was a very underrated and entertaining wrestler. His gimmick was great and he always fit it to a T. I don't know if there's any proof that he's out of shape, but I understand, as I don't think he's actually wrestled for an extended period of time since 2003. I hope he gets into good shape, because it's always great watching a guy from the Attitude Era come back.
Anyway, this is good to hear, and hopefully he works more than just dark matches soon.

D'Lo Brown was one of the most unappreciated wrestlers of the attitude era and I welcome his return can't wait
I cant wait to see him, dlo is the best wrestler who never wore the wwe title, i think he needs that push to elevate him to the main event spot and i hope he gets moved to ecw so he can recieve that push

No way.He was a great wrestler and he was a very enteraining but he is nowhere near being the greatest to never hold the title.That belongs to Owen Hart.
Back to D'Lo Brown I think he needs to go to ECW.Because they need him the most.Or he could go to Smackdown and help with the title picture but I've never seen him as a main enter.
Im speaking on wrestlers that never got the opportunity,owen did and was in line for that push

08-17-2007, 09:48 PM
As far as I know, D'lo is still an active wrestler. After TNA, he was working in Japan for awhile and does some UWF shows so I don't see how he was able to get out-of-shape but I haven't seen him in forever. This is the most recent image of D'lo I was able to find: http://www.onlineworldofwrestling.com/pictures/d/dlo/21.jpg

What the heck you talkin about? Owen never won the WWE championship, so he's near the top of the list Not sure where D'Lo would fit on that list , but I can't imagine him being all that high.
But if he's any good in the ring still, I wouldn't mind seeing him on ECW to help the young guys get over.
Hmm, now that I'm thining about it, let's see who the best to win the WWE championship really is...my top 10 would probably be something like this (counting only guys who spent any significant amount of time in the WWE, of course): Ricky Steamboat, Mr Perfect, Owen Hart, Christian, British Bulldog, Ted DiBiase, Razor Ramon, Jimmy Snuka, Ken Shamrock, and Roddy Piper. Honorable mentions (in no particular order) to Jeff Jarrett, Marty Jannetty, Honky Tonk Man, Pat Patterson, Don Muraco, Tito Santana, Rick Rude, Val Venis, Goldust, and D'Lo Brown would be in that group somewhere. I'm sure I'm forgetting others, especially guys from the 80's. But anyway, it looks like D'Lo's somewhere in the top 20 for sure. I can't imagine even his biggest marks arguing he's any better than 6th or 7th though, looking at that list.

Getting D Lo back on TV would get him into shape. A few more dark matches to test the crowds and an extensive build up with a contract signing or something and then have him do what MVP did and have him go for the US after hes built up a reputation. He could be another Finlay or something on Smackdown but help all the faces out. Hed make a great ECW guy with his in ring ability and they could heavilt promote that. In ECW he wouldnt Job and if he got beat it would be due to weapons or someone else deserving a win. Hed also make a good hardcore wrestler.
He could start on ECW and then get traded to Smackdown.

I like the idea of Dlo going to ECW he is a fresh face and would add stability to the brand, i feel that they should keep him their for a good amount (a year or so) and then move him to smackdown, he could then compete midcard and move up in the ranks to the whc, hes better then most of the guys you see today

08-22-2007, 12:17 PM
Here is a new update to shed some light on the subject. This made my day to hear that there IS interest in bringing the man back, especially if Stephanie wants him back (which it's rare for her to like anyone).
Stephanie McMahon is pushing for D-Lo Brown to be rehired into the Raw brand and pushed as a mid-card act. He has recently worked some dark matches for the company and the fans seem to be in favor of him.
The WWE most likely contacted D'lo for a try out, he accepted because he obviously wouldn't mind a return, he had his dark matches and hopefully in the near future [possibly after SummerSlam?] we will see D'Lo back home!

I think if they were to bring back D-Lo Brown, they'd need to team him up with Mark Henry once again. That way you're not wasting Mark like they are right now. Mark needs a big change and teaming him with D-Lo I think would be a big boost for him and his career. And if not, I still hope they bring back D-Lo anyways. I was a fan of his.

well I just really hope they dont bring him to RAW, that wouldnt make any sense...they are so stacked over there, they barely have any room for the talent they do have, or to give them storylines..I think D lo could at LEAST make a difference in the US title picture on smackdown...I mean they are pushing chuck palumbo for fucks sakes, D lo could make a much bigger impact over there...

D'lo brown always moved, bobed and weaved his head so fast that it look like I was watching the matirx. He was a funny guy. It would be interesting to see how he would vibe with the likes of kenndy and finley. And I don't no why but for some reason I think it would be funny having him fight the boogie man. I know, it dosn't make sense. I'm just weird just ignore me. lol

I just saw D Lo at a UWF Show in Fayetteville NC, and he was looking in REAL good shape. He has bulked up a lot and his arms have gotten massive. He looks like a true heavyweight, I was pretty impressed.

I'd love to see D'Lo back. If he's improved his shape and bulked up a bit then that would be awesome. I was always a fan of his and he had some good European and IC title runs. I reckon when he comes back he could bring some life back to the US or IC titles where not much seems to be happening at the minute.

WWE should Sign D'Lo Brown. one of the many reasons wwe should sign him is beacause he is a Veteran that can still go in the ring. wwe needs him on the Mid Card Scene over on Raw. he would be perfect for Raw.

I think it would be neat if D'Lo came back. Add him and Shelton Benjamin together and they would make an interesting tag team I think, much better than the World's Greatest Boring Team gimmick currently.

I wouldn't mind seeing D'Lo come back for another run in WWE. My only concern is the timing. If he comes in anytime soon, it'll be while guys are still suspended, so he's likely to get a decent push just because the company needs him right now. But, what would happen when guys start coming back? Is he still gonna get that same push, or is he gonna get thrown back into mid-card status again like he was in his last run with the company and end up going nowhere again? If that happens, it'd be sad, because I agree with the majority here. He's the type of person, in workrate, ability and physique that the company needs right now, and it'd be a shame if he didn't reach his potential...again.

dlo is one of the most amazing athletes in any organisation, he was mis used in the wwe, mis used in tna but now with the steroid prob i think they may push him to the moon which is what i hope for in regards to salvaging the current status in the wwe.

I'm really hoping we get D'Lo sent to either Raw's midcard or Smackdown as a heel. I'd love to see a D'Lo vs Jeff Hardy run for the IC title or put D'Lo in the same vain as Finlay and MVP over on Smackdown to feud with Mysterio and Matt Hardy. They could really benefit from someone like D'Lo right now. Eventually when people start coming back and filling out the rosters again, I say move him over to ECW as one of their top guys, since he's a veteran and could easily help bring the new talent up to speed on things.

09-29-2007, 05:05 PM
D-Lo's either moving to Smackdown or ECW. He could have been used well as a big heel over on smackdown with Lon going heel and going back to managing him as his big star. but since the WWE writers are a bunch of "soap rejects", they put him in a stupid completely unbelievable story line and it'll never happen. His best bet now is ECW. All they need to do is give it some more titles. I hate when they say, More titles dilutes there meeting, as if with three separate shows it really matter how many they have all together, thats a bull shit excuse and it doesn't apply in a situation where none of those titles mingle and the shows are like three different companies.
D-Lo for next TV champion!

D'Lo would be great as a mid carder on the Raw maybe challenge Jeff Hardy for the Intercontinental title as heel competitor, or even make him a main event talent on Ecw to challenge for the title I would love to see him again in wwe.
Straight from WWE.com
WWE.com has learned that former Intercontinental and European Champion D-Lo Brown has signed a Superstar contract with WWE.
---------------
Personally, I'm skeptical about this. He's had a couple of chances with the company, but never really made it out of the Attitude era, similar to Val Venis.
Now, I'm all for D'Lo, but I just don't see where he's going to go.
Raw is too jam-packed as it is. And, with Heat gone, he's as good as a jobber.
SmackDown! might have a place for him. I could see him in the US title picture....but, then again, there is no Velocity.
I think ECW might be the ideal place for him. He could take the role that Hardcore Holly had before he got drafted to Raw. Also, this could be a chance for him to bring back the European Championship, which is pretty much the only title he's ever held. They could rechristen it as the ECW TV Title. That would give some of the other wrestlers, like Stevie, Shelton, etc who have been thrown out of the title picture, something to shoot for.
Thoughts?
DAMN! You beat me to it! I think with an old popular name like D'Lo returning, he could have the same impact that numerous other returning stars have had. Come back, be popular for awhile, then fade away. Personally, I think D'Lo could become as high up as Mark Henry right now, in the upper midcard of Smackdown or ECW, but if you put him on RAW, he'll be gone before he starts.

i would bring him back on TV around the draft... after trading some mid card wrestlers from raw... bring D'lo to raw to build him up as a upper midcarder.. kinda like a Kennedy then have him go to ECW or Smackdown and use that status to get the ratings up...

Why get the ratings up for Smackdown and ECW when the ratings for RAW are at there lowest in like ten years!?
D'lo brown is underrated, he never made a massive impact but I dont know why... he could work well with Mark Henry as a tag team partner, it's been done before and where as the singles roster doesn't need any more superstars lord knows having Henry and D'lo as a heel tag team could be great! Maybe even have teddy long as there manager on ECW. It's tempting to throw in Ron Simmons to the mix and bring back a version of the nation but there is always a risk at just repeating storylines when they bring back old stables.

Heres my idea for Dlo Brown. After Mark Henreys feud wraps up have Henrey bring Dilo Brown back into wwe and form a tag team just like the good old days in the late 90s. We can use another tag team in the smackdown brand.

06-06-2008, 01:34 AM
Hm...I'm not opposed to D-Lo coming back...not sure where they could fit him in there....but he just never really shocked me in any regards. He was decent but nothing special.
Thusly, I'd like to see him boost the midcard or tag team divisions. I'd rather see him debut as a face, though, as the WWE is overloaded with heels right now. Not sure if he looks out of shape or rusty or anything, but hey, I'm willing to give the guy another shot.

I think we'll see a similar thing to what happened when Umaga was resigned. Everyone was thinking that 3 Minute Warning would reform. Then Rosey got fired. people will now think that D'Lo will reignite his feud with Droz. But they'll fire Droz before it can be resumed. That is if Droz still has a job with the company. Ain't seen much of him as of late.
This probably won't end up as much. He'll probably go the same way as Flash Funk. A couple of house show matches. Then he'll be fired when they're having a clear out.

06-08-2008, 06:14 PM
Um, to the person above me, you do know Droz was paralyzed from the neck down is officially retired from Pro Wrestling due to that, don't you? lol, anyway.
I'm happy D-Lo signed with them again, I like him, always did, and now I think about it, there could be a new Nation kind of Stable.
D-Lo, Shelton, Burke, MVP, Henry
And they can fued with the Black wrestlers they think are like stereotypical to the Black Race, and 'disrespect' it.
Shad, JTG, Ron Killings, Kofi Kingston
It's doubtful for that to happen, but I'd like it to happen. Even Ron Simmons can get into the mix somehow. But either way it goes, I'm glad D-Lo will be back on TV soon, but it also makes me wonder how long will it take. Chuck signed back with WWE, and took him forever just to get back on TV, Ron Killings signed back, and is yet to return to TV.
D-Lo could bring me back as a WWE fan, because I've been TNA-Pro for sometime now, and more Anti-WWE, and with a Attitude Era kind of guy like D-Lo returning, it would interest me, as I'm not all too interested in the likes of Batista, Cena, Triple H, Jeff Hardy, Randy Orton, Matt Hardy, ect.

They still have Velocity,they just moved it to Tuesdays and call it ECW.
But D-Lo would not have much of a place to fit.I could see a fued with Kane for the ECW title or a fued with Matt Hardy for the U.S. Title,but thats about it.Maybe he'll be a part of the draft.But I like the idea of him coming back,but he does'nt have much of a place to fit in on the roster.

Was D'lo really that great? I don't remember him being much more than a midcarder at best.
Don't get me wrong, I welcome the guy, especially if he's a face in the midcard division as they're severely lacking there. I just don't think he'll drastically improve the WWE and get them out of their slumber. It would take something huge for that, like Austin or Rock coming back, but we all know 100% that that's not going to be happening at all. D-Lo is a welcome addition, but at best, he'll be on ECW's main event scene. I can't see him being some new WHC contender or something.

Erm slight problem there Jake, Droz has been out of action for years... From Wiki 'Drozdov is currently quadriplegic due to a neck injury sustained from a failed wrestling maneuver.'
Now personally I can't wait for D'Lo to come back, I think he was a pretty cool wrestler back in the day considering his size and shape although like alot of people I'm not quite sure what they'll do with him.

I say try any damn thing right now. Bring in Ted Dibiase Jr. Bring in D'Lo Brown. WWE needs that kind of talent at this point. I'm just as ill as anybody else of seeing everything concentrated around Triple H, John Cena, a top-talent jobber like JBL and Randy Orton. They need those mid-card feuds, such as HBK/Ramon in 1995. I really want to see WWE improve because those ratings are falling and I don't blame them for doing so. I mean from 6.0 all the way to recently 2.8, that is very damn bad!!!! Even worse than TNA not gaining any considerable ratings from the 1.0 mark. They're understandable. They're still in their growth period with factors holding them down. They've just started out in 2002 and wasn't handed down a promotion like how the WWE was handed to Vince after his father deceased. And plus, WWE has three different brands to entertain fans from. All you have to do is constantly switch up the roster, ignite new feuds and get things going. Don't wait till the ratings fall and your fans are tired to shit of the brands.
So with D'Lo returning to the WWE, I think it can only be a good thing if he's not put in the ring with people like Snitsky and Snitsky gets a victory and D'Lo gets jobbed there on out. Bring back D'Lo. Develop Cade, and Burchill some more. Insert D'Lo in feuds with them and lets see if anything doesn't spark. D'lo has truly only been in the mid-cards but he has truly been entertaining to me when he sticks his arms out and flops his head side-to-side. And god, I love when he hits the Lo-Down. I can't wait to see him back in action.

I always liked D'Lo, but I am not too sure about this return of his. I just don't think it will pay off as many of us hope. I am excited he is coming back, but I can't see him going farther than a Smackdown mid-carder. The one thing that will be cool about this is the headshake, that was cool. He was a solid performer and had some good names for his moves, the Lo'Down, Sky High, and the Real Deal. I loved his trash talking as well. I am happy he is coming back, but I'm not getting my expectations too high cause unless they have something really good for him, he'll be treated the same way he was when he left, that whole urban ghetto, everything you say about me is racist cause i'm black and you're white gimmick. That annoyed me severely not because it was a horrible gimmick, but because of how it was played out and how overdone it has been. I'm just going to wait and see what comes of D'Lo's return.

Same here. i always did like D'Lo because when he came to the ring during mid card matches on RAW in the late 90's, also when the mid card titles could be seen defended lol, he put on one hell of a show. hes what Smackdown! needs. RAW, he wont help their cause but on Smackdown!, he can become a higher midcard player like to take on MVP or something? or maybe even become a main eventer because hes a WWE veteran. what i like about WWE making these guys return is that when they do return after a long time, most of them go straight to the main event spot whether it be high or low. and i believe, highly, that D'Lo could get it done on SD! not to mention, id really like to see him take on Edge or Batista or even, Umaga, if he returns. or no, Id really like to see D'Lo do this. World Heavyweight Championship. D'Lo Brown vs Mark Henry...Now that, is a ticket drawing, money making match. but nonetheless, its always good for us older fans to see these 90's guys come back or even the divas, come back and be veterans of the company and teach these new faces how it really is.
I wouldn't mind seeing D-Lo Brown and Mark Henry teaming up again and possible form a NOD like faction. There's talent like Elijah Burke which there really not doing anything with, why not put Burke, Brown, Henry and maybe Benjamin in some type of new urban faction. There are rumors of a young superstars faction possibly starting why not more, they need to bring back factions. La Familia is a faction I guess but not really a strong or interesting one yet because Bam Neely and Edgeheads are relatively unknown.

I find myself actually hoping for a new "Nation Of Domination" stable. Here is who I would like to see in it.
D-Lo Brown - The leader and mouthpiece
Ron "The Truth" Killings - A solid mid-card guy, someday main event
Cryme Tyme (Shad and JTG) - dominate tag team
Put them on RAW. Keep the group small. Mold them after the Four Horsemen. Merchandise and rating could be huge. They could even help (or hurt) Mark Henry in his feuds since ECW will be taped the same night as RAW.
