In a recent podcast, D’Lo Brown, an ex-WWE superstar, shared his thoughts on a potential induction into the WWE Hall of Fame during an interview on “The False Finish with Conrad Thompson.” Surprisingly, Brown shared an unusual condition for his acceptance; he would only accept the honor if Darren Drozdov, fondly known as Droz, was also inducted with him. His words were,
“I have never, ever — this part, I’ve never verbally uttered before. This is an exclusive breaking news. If I am ever deemed fit to be included in the WWE Hall of Fame, I would only consider it if Darren could be celebrated with me.”
Droz was Brown’s former co-wrestler who was left paralyzed after a grave accident during a powerbomb move in their match. Sadly, he passed away in 2023.
In related news, AJ Styles, a present WWE Superstar, also made an appearance on a podcast named “Insight with Chris Van Vliet.” During his talk, he shared his insights on his showdown with Shane McMahon at WrestleMania 33, and his decision to leave New Japan Pro Wrestling.
Key takeaways from Style’s conversation are as follows:
On his decision to depart from NJPW after learning about the exit of Shinsuke Nakamura: “I conversed with my fellow colleagues and felt ‘It might be right to move on, we’d probably touched the peak if Shinsuke’s exiting.’ … Things fell into place, and new prospects took no time to come up.”
Recalling his grand entry at the 2016 Royal Rumble: “It was an extraordinary milestone of my wrestling journey to witness the crowd’s reaction when I walked in. That moment will forever be etched in my memory.”
