D\u2019Lo Brown<\/a> says this cult classic inspired his signature taunt.<\/p>\n D\u2019Lo Brown rose to popularity during the Attitude Era as part of The Nation of Domination. It was also during that time that he debuted his signature headshake taunt, which became a defining part of his presentation.<\/p>\n Speaking to SoCal Val on The Velvet Ropes<\/a> podcast, the former four-time WWE European Champion explained the origin of his iconic headshake, citing Ice Cube and Chris Tucker\u2019s Friday as the inspiration.<\/p>\n \u201cThere is a great movie that I love very much called Friday\u2026 there\u2019s a scene where Deebo\u2026 gets knocked down, and Chris Tucker flies over top of him, goes, \u2018You just got knocked out,\u2019 and he\u2019s shaking his head,\u201d D\u2019Lo recalled.<\/p>\n \u201cThe next night, on RAW, Rocky is wrestling Ken Shamrock\u2026 I see the camera go up on Ken Shamrock. And I go, \u2018Yes, I know the camera\u2019s gonna be on him,\u2019 and I just slid up to him, one \u2018You just got knocked out!\u2019 And that was the first time I did the head shake\u2026 Vince McMahon saw it. He took notice of it, told me to keep doing it, because if it peaked his curiosity, then it peaked a lot of people\u2019s curiosity.\u201d<\/p>\n Elsewhere in the same interview, D\u2019Lo Brown gave a detailed account<\/a> of The Godfather and Snoop Dogg\u2019s infamous smoke session at the Allstate Arena in 1999.<\/p>\n \u201cThat was RAW in Chicago,\u201d D\u2019Lo Brown began, \u201cat the Allstate Arena, and it\u2019s very small; the downstairs is very small. So, there\u2019s a small hallway, and there\u2019s like three or four rooms there, and on the left side is the boys\u2019 locker room, and then the girls\u2019 locker room, and on the right side was like, production and then Vince\u2019s office.<\/p>\n \u201cWell, since it was a house show, live event, there was no production. So, that was going to be the room where the celebrities would be, and that\u2019s where Jesse Ventura was at, and then before Jesse got there, Snoop Dogg was there.<\/p>\n \u201cSo, Snoop comes rolling in, and, you know, he\u2019s dapping and he\u2019s hanging with the boys, and all of a sudden, him and Godfather go disappear into this room. And like clockwork, five minutes later, the entire bottom bowl of the arena smells of the funk of 40,000 years.\u201d<\/p>\n READ MORE<\/strong>: Santino Marella Recalls Smoking \u2018Euphoric\u2019 Weed With Snoop Dogg At WrestleMania<\/a><\/p>\n The post D\u2019Lo Brown Shares What Movie Inspired His Iconic Taunt<\/a> appeared first on Wrestlezone<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" D\u2019Lo Brown says this cult classic inspired his signature taunt.
