Career
D'Lo was originally a member of the stable the Nation of Domination. After turning on the first leader of the faction, Faarooq he eventually turned on the new leader of the group, The Rock and allied himself with then face, Mark Henry. His trademark at this time was his chest protector, which he would wear to the ring, supposedly for an injury sustained to his torso. Instead, he would use the chest protector to his advantage, making his finishing move The 'Lo Down more deadly. He would eventually turn face and formed a tag team with Henry in the 1990s, which was moderately successful. His career peaked when he held the European and Intercontinental Championships simultaneously, a feat duplicated by a select few, including Olympian Kurt Angle. Later D'Lo turned heel again by turning on the fans and was known as a "racist" because he "hated" white people due to his African American background.
He currently wrestles for All Japan Pro Wrestling, frequently teaming with fellow former WWE employee Bull Buchanan, and for Total Nonstop Action.
In April 2005, he was one of the lead trainers of Celebrity Wrestling in the United Kingdom on ITV. This Saturday evening reality show saw celebrities learn wrestling and compete in challenge matches. After a few week the programme was to be cancelled, but instead was moved to sunday morning to finish its final episodes.
