Loved the video, thanks Marky. I got a shock when you mentioned the D'Lo - Saturn team. I was watching at the time and I'm one of those fans that loves obscure WWE trivia, but I have no recollection of this whatsoever and I don't think anyone has talked about it in the last 20 years! Anyway, I liked Lo Down, it seemed like a good use of both guys at a time when the mid-card was getting taken over by Jericho, Angle, the Radiclaz etc. Both guys had been involved in some goofy stuff in the preceding few years, and I liked the more serious presentation and they seemed to gel well. Obviously as the weeks wore on they needed to develop a bit more personality and when that didn't happen we got Tiger Ali SIngh and the rest is history.

[@vanthdreadstar8039]

Horrible ring gear for the entire run. Brutal.

[@dxtrememwe2215]

The thing about Lowdown that is so memorable, is watch old episodes of shows like Metal & Jakked that they were on. Tazz on commentary was hilarious during their entrances & matches.

FACTS

[@Lightman0359]

While I have watched this at least twice in the past year, i want you to know that you have re-kindled my love of wrestling. Watching this again sent me down a rabbit hole trying to remember the Hrady Boyz theme, that led to matt guessing wrestlers' theme songs and a bunch of jobbers guessing theme songs, in which I quoted you a couple times in the comments. Thanks to you the following terms are in my vocabulary: Slapnuts Cab Driver Slam "The Idiot" Abyss Mould Dogg Sack of Shit Dumb Tacks I have used these in comments sections and facebook threads. You are a legend. Thanks to you I know about TNA. My main Wrestling show was Smackdown until it moved to friday [and the random recap/C-shows like Heat and Champions] as I didn't have cable growing up and work in concert production, so Friday Prime time I was behind my lighting board at the Vic Theater in Chicago or more recently the Golden Nugget in Las Vegas [shoutout to my Vic and nugget crews you know who this is]. It is fin to se where my attitude era jobbers/mid-carders went like Mould Dogg, Mr Ass, 123-Pac or whatever Sean Waltmann is calling himself today, D-Lo. and ol' Slappy did after WWE before they got the "F" out... I think my first vid of yours was Slapnuts related [I mean focused, a Wild Slapnuts always seems to appear], I barely remembered him, I had no Idea he had a bootleg Steve Austin/HHH type reign of terror before your vids. Whenever I see a MarkyD123 vid in my recommended, I click, regardless of who it is about. I wouldn't have known about my new favorite Attitude/Ruthless Aggression era women's division [or should I say Knock-Out] Zombie Hot Daffney, without you. Before that it would have been something basic like trish Stratus or Torrie Wilson. When a friend told me Chelsea Greene was kicked out of a bar because they thought she was a hooker it was your vids that reminded me she was Laurel Van Ness, the hot Mess looking for a man.

[@fattiger6957]

Even though I was watching WWE at this time, I have absolutely zero memory of Tiger Ali Singh. I remember D-Lo and have a faint memory of this tag team. But I can't say I've ever seen Tiger.

[@wayneking9997]

Its because tiger Ali curry was nothing more than a curtain jerker he sucked and got what he deserved Vince Mcmahon was right in treating him like a joke because he is

[@JOBdOut]

Such a shame. He was basically a knockoff ted dibiase in the mid 90s making fans do gross things for money, he was the one who got taken down in Kurt Angle's first-first debut when Sunday Night Heat had importance - he also was the 2nd kuwait cup winner (which basically means they used him more on tours)

I feel so bad for D'Lo here. I loved him as a kid and seeing this gimmick was just... awful and for no reason. What happened was a complete accident yet he got punished with this forgettable gimmick.

[@jcriniti2644]

What happened to Droz could have happened to anybody and that is the risk they take stepping into the ring. I don't believe WWF did this to him as a punishment for that. Vince Russo left in 99 and they have not had a good writer since in all these years. It was just bad booking.

I remember a house show I went to in 2000. Pre-Tiger Lo Down was supposed to face the Dudleys in a tables match, but Chaz was a no-show so it was just the Dudleys beating the shit out of D-Lo in an absolutely godawful match where it seemed like no one knew what they were doing or why. To top it off, they tried to finish with a 3D through the table, and the table didn't break. So everyone just awkwardly stood around for what seemed like several minutes before D'Von hit a splash to D-Lo through the table that looked like complete shit. Oh, and I think prior to that, Big Boss Man got legitimately poked in the eye when Steve Blackman kicked a nightstick into his face.
