This is a couple years old but felt appropriate to post this weekend. Rest in peace, Droz. I wonder where his career (and D'Lo's) would have gone had the accident not happened.

On his podcast, Freddie said he knows for a fact Amazon is very interested because they made him an offer for his planned wrestling promotion.

How long have you been a wrestling fan and what got you hooked? I always watched the WWF as a kid in the late 80s but really got hooked by about 1994 when I was 10 or 11. I remember renting the Coliseum videos all the time. I must have rented WrestleMania IV at least 20 times. I was always a big Macho Man fan.

The Monday night war, nWo, and Attitude era were all during my teenage years, and hooked me even further.

This is never ending, is it?
