A former WWE partner of The Rock believes he should be inducted into the Hall of Fame.

D’Lo Brown was part of the iconic Nation of Domination faction, alongside The Rock, Farooq, and several other legends, during his first run in the Stamford-based company, which lasted for nearly six years.

The 52-year-old briefly returned to the promotion in mid-2008 before he was let go for a second time just six months later. During his time in WWE, Brown held the Intercontinental Championship once and the European Title four times.

On a recent episode of The Coach & Bro Show, Brown addressed not being in the Hall of Fame. He noted that The Nation of Domination deserves that honor. Meanwhile, he urged the company to induct him into the Hall of Fame individually as well.

Look, if I’m ever lucky enough to be in the Hall of Fame, I think I would love it. I think The Nation [of Domination] as a whole deserves to be in the Hall of Fame. If I’m ever lucky enough… I think I’m in the Hall of Very Good. I think the Hall of Fame is like that. I think The Nation belongs there. Maybe me as an individual. I don’t know. That’s not for me to decide because I’m a humble guy. Yeah, I should be in the da*n Hall of Fame. [54:46 onwards]

D’Lo Brown Didn’t Enjoy Sharing The Ring With This Ex-WWE Star

During the same episode of The Coach & Bro Show, D’Lo Brown discussed which WWE stars he enjoyed working with and which ones he did not enjoy facing in the ring.

The former European Champion revealed that he enjoyed wrestling X-Pac and Val Venis while he disliked competing against his former Nation of Domination partner Ahmed Johnson.

Well, favorite is twofold. It’s either X-Pac or Val Venis. We had great chemistry together. And least favorite, there’s only one clear-cut answer and that’s Ahmed Johnson. Sorry, did I say that out loud? That was my inner monologue. Sorry I should have… Hold on. Let me do the politically correct thing. There was no one I disliked wrestling in all in WWE. I enjoyed being in the ring with everybody, except for Ahmed Johnson.
