D’Lo Brown wants to see the Nation of Domination in the WWE Hall of Fame.
The Attitude Era featured many stables, but few achieved what The Nation did for The Rock’s career. After an underwhelming first run as the smiling babyface Rocky Maivia, Vince McMahon turned Dwayne Johnson heel by making him a member of the Nation of Domination.
The alliance proved instrumental in Maivia’s transformation into the wildly popular Rock persona at the height of the Attitude Era. The Nation eventually disbanded. With each member going solo or forming new tag teams. Such as Faarooq teaming with Bradshaw (aka JBL) to form the APA. The Nation remains an important part of WWE’s faction history.
D’Lo Brown says The Nation of Domination belongs in the WWE Hall of Fame
During a recent appearance on The Velvet Ropes with SoCal Val, former Nation member D’Lo Brown said the iconic Attitude Era faction deserves to be inducted into the Hall of Fame. Explaining his reasoning, D’Lo said:
“Here’s my thing. I believe, not just because I’m part of the Nation. If I wasn’t part of the Nation, I would say the Nation deserves being a Hall of Fame,” D’Lo Brown said. “If you look at what a faction does, usually, a faction is to elevate one person out of the group, i.e. Flair with the Horsemen. The thing with the Nation was every member, and we think about the core unit of Rocky, Mark, Godfather, Ron and myself… every one of us got better after being in the Nation.
“So that shows what kind of foundation the Nation gave all of us. And it lifted us all up. And then for the fact that the Nation should be in the Hall of Fame, because 30 years later, anytime you put a faction of two or three black guys together, people are already calling it the new Nation. That tells you its footprint in wrestling. And just for that mere fact alone, it should be represented in the Hall of Fame with the other great acts of the last 100 years.” [H/T: WrestlingNews.co]
