TSC Evaluation #13: D'Lo Brown

[Rell84shots]

1999 looked as though it was going to be his year, he was getting pops that rivaled Rock & Stone Cold. The Droz accident killed his career slowly, and when he started dressing llike Tiger Ali Singh it was a wrap.

Outside of the head bobs, i never cared for him. 7.

Head bobs are worth a 7

Naw he wasn't great or anything but he wasn't terrible either. don't see nothing wrong with giving him a C.

-Mic work/promos - he honestly never really stood out to me on the mic..this would be his weakest point

-Personality/gimmicks - dude went from a nameless silent NOD member to being charismatic and more importantly over as fukk..especially with the chest protector gimmick..he honestly never needed any more tweaking than that..the shyt he was given later made no fukking sense

-Ring work (along with some of your favorite matches/feuds) - dropped weight and had a dope moveset for a guy his size...dude had some lit matches in the midcard..his matches with xpac especially were dope as fukk..was so close into getting into main event stage before the unfortunate droz incident

-Overall rating (which doesn't have to be an average of the above scores)

he's a solid 6 to me

I fukked with that Lo Down team.

5.

I might be being a bit tight tbh, but I'm basing it off imperfect scores I gave to better workers. He was a good worker and had good presence (the head bob was recognizable anyway) but he never really made me care about him in any major way. Can't really pick out a memorable promo, but I remember him always putting a solid match on for Raw. Him and X-Pac were good foils for each other.

He's black
,had a black sounding theme song
walked to the ring like a G
wore a bullet proof vest before G-Unit
Inspired stone cold's head wobble


Was about that NOD life for real....Paralyzed Droz for life ... (no disrespect)

Just thinking about from when the Radicalz came in, and good lord D'Lo really missed out of some potentially very good matches. Russo leaving and the Droz accident killed off his career. Being mini-Godfather and eventually wearing turbans with Chaz was

A solid 7, he could go in the ring and was entertaing

Some of this revisionist history be having me dying.

 

[Hope]

probably the only one to ever bring Jarret to near-classics all the time. Ya pretty much said everything I'd big him up for. 8.

Rock and Austin may be pushing it, but 1998 D'Lo reactions were insane in their own right.

He's a 5. D`lo brown was a nice piece in the midcard scene and a part of one of the most memorable groups in 90s wrestling.

His career doesn't warrant anything above that rating tho. He wasn't a big time player and he never really played around in the main scene even on a billy gunn/test level.

He had a nice moveset on the WWF smackdown! Game tho

If D'Lo got a Billy Gunn like push he would have done a much better job in the spotlight.

Pre reigns vest...no one shyttin on that?
