Vince has final say, and could have done what he wanted, truth is he was probably happy when it happened knowing that he didnt have to do it, and even if he didnt, he's the one who let Stephanie do as she likes.

I might get flamed for this, but Stephanie kinda brings up a point. Drozdoz was dead weight. I'm sure he's a fantastic guy and whatnot, and it's really terrible what happened to him in the ring, but every single performer to ever lace up a pair of boots knows the danger of what they're doing. They know that there's a chance of being seriously injured. Apparently, that was a chance he was willing to take, and sadly, he lost the gamble. They gave him a job for a very long time after the injury (what's it been, like 8 years?), and Steph's right, if he invested wisely, he should be set for life. What's the point of paying somebody when you have no use for him? It's just bad business to keep him on board.
I do wish Darren Drozdov the best of luck in his future endeavors, though. |

If Owen had lived, would he, too have been released like this?
Seriously doubt it. |

Meh "if." Different circumstances. Owen's image and name would have been worth something to the company. Droz is a total no-name to anyone who isn't more than a casual fan, and even then.

Wow, part of me feels bad for Droz, even though I never liked him. And part of me feels like whatever. It is kinda cold hearted, but at the same time, how long do they really need to take care of D'Lo Brown's mistakes?

Companies let dead weight go. Why is this any different than any other company decision?

It's not. People just like to paint the McMahons in an evil light. This is less than shocking. What's more shocking is that they didn't do it years ago.

Droz: You called to see me, Vince?
Vince: Darren, you've been a part of this company a long time. Unfortunately, times are tight and we have to let you go. Droz: .... Vince: But I'd like to keep you on as part of my personal staff. Tell me. Do you have any experience as a paperweight? |

Yeah, I know he will, but adversity pulls onour heartstrings (Collectively speaking).
Honestly, it's probably stronger in wrestling fans because the entire business sells itself on the hopes that the underdog beats the odds. Without that, Pro Wrestling might as well be Showtunes. |

The company owes him fuck all. He knows the dangers. He trained to be a wrestler, that's what he wanted. So did D-Lo Brown. They got in the ring and it was technically a fan who fucked Droz up. Even still, Whether u blame D-Lo or the retard who threw the fuckin drink in the ring, it's not the WWE's fault. Period.

From ABOUT.com:
D-Lo Brown vs. Droz The results of a wrestling match may be predetermined but the wrestlers put their well being on the line every time they step in the ring. During a 1999 SmackDown TV taping, D-Lo fought Droz in what was supposed to be an ordinary match. D-Lo slipped on a wet spot on the mat while giving Droz a running power bomb. Droz fractured two discs in his neck. The accident left the former Denver Bronco paralyzed from the neck down. He still works for the WWE. |
