From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia
Darren Drozdov, (born April 4, 1969) better known as Puke or Droz, is a retired professional wrestler who competed in the WWF from 1998 until 1999.
Career
NFL career
Before his wrestling career, Drozdov was a professional football player in the NFL for a few seasons with the Denver Broncos. He gained some notoriety (and the nickname "Puke") when he vomited on TV during a Monday Night Football game.
WWF career
Drozdov made his WWF debut on Monday Night Raw as an associate of the tag team The Legion of Doom. Dubbed "Puke", he was the unofficial third member of group. He was involved in an storyline involving original LOD member Hawk's alcoholism. In this storyline, Hawk was seen by his partner Animal as unfit to wrestle and Drozdov was tapped to take Hawk's place in the tag team. The storyline ended with accusations that Droz had been the "enabler" of Hawk's problems and had dosed the LOD member to take his place in the team.
After Droz's stint with the LOD, efforts were made to rebrand his character including one involving a series of skits called "Droz's World" where he would tell stories about his life as a pro wrestler. Droz started to come into his own after turning heel. He started to build a stable of wrestlers who shared his bizarre lifestyle. He added Prince Albert to his faction as his personal "body piercing artist" and Vic Grimes was brought in briefly as Key, allegedly to play Droz's dealer.
Drozdov's career in WWF ended suddenly when he suffered a severe neck injury during a match with D'Lo Brown on an episode of SmackDown! when Brown botched a running powerbomb.
Today, Droz is still involved with WWE behind the scenes and as a contributor to WWE.com with his "Droz's Two Cents" column, and his work on WWE Byte This!
