RIP Droz. Thank you for your positive impact in the sport not only in the ring, but outside. You had the patience, love, and strength of a soul of a true warrior. I’m sure you had your dark days too, but just know your life story has been one of the greatest testament to anyone who has gone through this. No one is alone in this. More people will know and hear your story, brother. I know of it. Much love.

[@davidpeters2625]

Fun Fact: The reason he got the nickname "Puke" was because during his football career with the Eagles, Broncos, (and one other team, I forget what it is), he would be going so hard he would be throwing up constantly. A wonderful individual that I have heard nothing but good things about, he is a true inspiration, because he never let becoming a quadriplegic stop him from doing works of good. Rest In Peace, Darren "Droz" Drozdov..... you will most certainly be missed by the wrestling community (as well as Bronco Country)

[@MrZappaman420]

the reason he was called puke was because he could vomit at will

@3:53 It's recycled music, it was originally used for Man Mountain Rock (Maxx Payne in WCW) when he joined the company in 95 but then they changed it to something else halfway through his short run. EDIT: @26:30 The botched D-Lo powerbomb happened on the October 7th Smackdown actually. Smackdown had been a taped show for a long time back then and while they never released the full match, they did show footage of Droz getting lifted up in the stretcher in the ring during their "Don't try this at home" PSAs from the early 2000s. But yeah, RIP. Always read that he seemed like a great dude plus I remember when he was part of the Byte This web show.

[@yellowkangdexasthur4904]

If you watch the documentary Beyond the Mat, they show Droz meeting McMahon for the first time and when he found out Droz could throw up on command he immediately saddles him with the Puke gimmick. So I believe it was actually all Vince's idea, not Russo's

It's not sad. The puke gimmick was only going to go so far. Droz was given something good when he was paired with Prince Albert. It's not like Vince just gave up on the guy.
