I completely forgot they released him and then brought him back for a spell in 2008.

Lol yeah I remember him coming back in 08. He beat Santino on Raw.

1) It always seemed like D'Lo took the Droz thing pretty hard internally and kept it there, and for a good while it even changed how he looked in the ring. Not saying *bad*, but there was a "lack of confidence" look on par with Sean Waltman after he got hurt and toned down the flying after... except D'Lo at least didn't start stringing together the exact same match week in and week out like X-Pac would.

2) Didn't know about the Russo perception, but I was one of those people who thought he would jump to WCW and eventually back, since he seemed to need the fresh coat of paint/change in surroundings. Might've helped him (ringwise) get past his "reservations" sooner, and he always felt like one of those guys who would get an upper roster push upon a WWE return after getting something like the "Lance Storm hat trick" treatment in WCW. There were a few people who could have used jumping ship to potentially better their careers. From both companies. And that was still at a time where people weren't "punished" for leaving.

3) Lo Down had potiential much like New Age Outlaws... but they got thrown into d-show jobber duty.
