Born in what city and state?

Ok, I need to this be cleared up. Is D'Lo Brown born in Burlington,Vermont or Burlington, New Jersey? Because in the start of the article stated that he is born in Burlington, Vermont, but his statistics says born in Burlington, New Jersey. Which is right?--Miss Lindsie (talk) 06:43, 7 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I know for a fact that he grew up and went to school in Burlington New Jersey where he spent a very large part of his childhood and young adult life. But I honestly don't know if that was his birth location. The article also doesn't bother to mention his first pro wrestling trainers: Larry Sharpe and Glen Ruth. I've edited that fact into the wiki in the past but people keep removing it. I was a member of the Monster Factory back in the early 1990's where I also trained under Larry Sharpe and Glen Ruth. A.C.(D'lo) was a close friend; I even lived with his family briefly. --Omniwolf (talk) 00:21, 15 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

TNA Info

D' Lo did play an important role in TNA, yet this article doesn't even go that much into detail about it... Is that because no one remembers it, or is it because someone just overskipped it, thinking it's not important. 75.170.146.90 (talk) 02:41, 21 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Appearance in The Wrestler?

[1]

Anyone else see this as D-Lo? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.65.180.186 (talk) 16:27, 21 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Breaking Kayfabe

Is D-Lo known to break kayfabe often? In the 2009 Chikara King of Trios DVD, he audibly says to a fan that he has been told he is not allowed to do "half" of the moves he could. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 219.39.118.223 (talk) 08:29, 29 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Serious sourcing issues....

The sourcing is very bad in this article. Four different sources, all supposedly reliable, gave me four different birth years, and a few different real names (different middle name, different spelling of surname, initials vs. given name). For that reason, as well as the OR involved, I removed the Intelius records. There is no way to be sure that the name and date there are correct, because it's just a compilation of information that the service thinks is correct. IMDB claims he is a CPA, but Brown has never talked about his life pre-1993, which means there is no information on his education to that point. It also claims he was born in 1972, and his name is A.C. Connor. OWW lifted its information from IMDB. That does not match the Scripps interview, which indicates he was 39 in Sept. 2010. So clearly there is an issue with reliable sourcing, and I am not sure it can be addressed. MSJapan (talk) 07:03, 28 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Age/Year he was born

Anyone have any consistent, reliable sources for how old or what year D'Lo Brown was born? Wikipedia says he was born in 1970, and sources it to two websites: Internet Movie Database and Online World of Wrestling. IMDB says he was born in 1972. OWW says he was born in 1973. Cagematch lists him as 41 years old, which would make him born in 1975 (and his twitter id is @dlbrown75). If you google "D'Lo Brown age", it comes up as 1970, but sources it to Wikipedia, which in turn sources it to two website that (again) are not consistent. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.203.226.166 (talk) 04:27, 21 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
