D’Lo Brown Says He Won’t Enter WWE Hall of Fame Without Droz

D’Lo Brown is making it clear—if he ever gets the nod for the WWE Hall of Fame, he’s not going in alone.

During an appearance on The False Finish with Conrad Thompson, Brown opened up about the tragic accident that changed both his and Droz’s lives forever. In 1999, a powerbomb gone wrong during a match with Darren “Droz” Drozdov left Droz with two fractured vertebrae, paralyzing him from the neck down. Over the years, both men remained on good terms, with Droz never blaming D’Lo for what happened.

Sadly, Droz passed away in June 2023, but for Brown, his legacy lives on. When asked about the possibility of a Hall of Fame induction, Brown didn’t hesitate to make his stance clear:

“This part, I’ve never said anywhere. If I am ever fortunate enough to go into the WWE Hall of Fame, I’m only going in if Darren can go with me.”

It’s a powerful statement from someone who has carried the weight of that moment for over two decades. D’Lo and Droz both expressed numerous times that it was a tragic accident with no bad blood, but this declaration shows just how much their bond meant to Brown.
