News has just broke that the former WWF Intercontinental and European champion D’LO Brown has agreed to re-join IMPACT WRESTLING as a backstage producer. This is absolutely a great move on IMPACT’s part, D’LO worked with IMPACT at the Las Vegas TV Tapings a few months ago and they were well received by the fans. We also saw him at the latest IMPACT Plus special “A Night You Can’t Mist” with Tommy Dreamer’s House of Hardcore. He came out to inform the king of “Dong Style” Joey Ryan that his opponent for that night Billy Gunn had been stuck in the airport all day and wasn’t going to be able to participate in the “Touch it vs Suck it” match scheduled. Since both guys knew what people wanted to see from joey, meaning the D**k flip. Like a champ D’LO took it for Billy and managed to get a bit of his own offence in getting a pop from the crowd in the old ECW arena.
Of course, D’LO has wrestled for IMPACT many times over his career, whether it be NWA-TNA where he enjoyed a Main Event feud with AJ Styles and Vince Russo’s S.E.X (Sports Entertainment Xtreme). He Unfortunately didn’t taste World championship success with TNA. He is however a former NWA tag team champion as well as a former BCW (Border City Wrestling) Champion. We can’t forget his run with TNA/IMPACT Wrestling in 2012/13 and 14 as a road agent and on screen he was the Vice president of the aces & eights. A motorcycle club who dominated TNA in 2013 when Bully Ray defeated Jeff Hardy at lockdown 2013 in the Alamodome in front of TNA’s largest ever crowd he announced himself as the President of the club. D’LO was unmasked by Kurt Angle at the end of an episode of IMPACT, we didn’t know who had been unmasked until the following week.
D’LO has wrestled a couple of IMPACT/BCW shows this year, it states on his wiki page that the former WWF IC and European champion is a semi-retired professional wrestler. So perhaps there’s a possibility however small we could see him on screen involved in a programme with some members of the roster. Who that could be? Perhaps Killer Kross or Sami Callihan considering The Draw isn’t a big fan of veterans coming into the company. One thing is for sure, the young talent on the roster can sit under the D’lo brown learning tree and a man with D’LO’s character and experience they can certainly benefit from him being around and it can also only Improve the current product because no matter how much of a roll they’re on right now Improvement is surely a key to success.
I’m certainly happy to see the man back and look forward to seeing what’s next.
