| #4 Posted on 5.6.08 1251.05 Reposted on: 5.6.15 1251.07 | Up to now "superstar" has usually meant "wrestler". I doubt they'd bother announcing it unless he was returning to the ring.
It'd be a shame if people didn't recognise him. | thecubsfan

That's what I read.
This news legitimately excites me. He had some awful AWFUL outings in TNA a few years back, but he's been decent in Japan. I've always been a big mark for D-Lo and his theme song. | JoshMann

| #11 Posted on 5.6.08 1439.33 Reposted on: 5.6.15 1439.44 | D'Lo was laways one of my favorites mid card talents who could occassionally be put int he ring with the main eventers and have a real good match. I hope they keep him exactly the same - the walk, the theme song and the chest protector.
My only fear is that they put him on ECW and we have the eventual Kofi/D'Lo vs. Elijah/Benjamin year long feuds. As much as I like them all as workers (to varying degrees), somethign would not seem right about that. | Oliver

Exactly! Especially if WWE is able to dig out some footage of him originally injuring it. | BigDaddyLoco
