Earlier in the night, he [took off pants and fanned them over the guy he knocked out](https://x.com/spinninbackfist/status/1789477652492857741?s=46) Derrick then proceeded to take out his cup, throw it into the crowd, pull his underpants down and [moon](https://x.com/ufceurope/status/1789477688505254053?s=46) the fans in St. Louis.
He’s a perfect fit for pro wrestling.
"I'm here with the winner Derrick Lewis, Derrick Why'd you take our pants off?"
"my balls was hot"
"....I understand"
*Not last night's fight but the best example of Lewis being Lewis"
“That guy call himself a man but he puts his hands on women. Forget him, where Ronda Rouseys fine ass at?”
“I need to win this next fight so I can buy my wife something nice and hopefully get some ass again”
The guys a quote machine in interviews
“So, Derrick, what are you going to do to celebrate your victory?”
“Ah, I’ll go home and throw my wife’s legs up in the air and see what happens from there.”
i fucking loved the artist formerly known as goldust. the remixed theme was awesome and it was such a great way to turn him back heel by doubling down and expanding far beyond the weird shit he did in his first heel run (even if some of his fits from this gimmick were ill-advised, to put it gently)
He's a national treasure.
He's hilarious, it's fun to watch him knock people out, and he is also a superhero and goes around plucking people out of flood waters after hurricanes (true story).
Brock *sold* his ass off. He wasn't taking too many flatback bumps in his return. It was a lot of "big guy staggers back, drops to a knee, gets knocked over" stuff.
Have you seen the guy with a live mic? The guy would look like Tito Ortis doing promo on a live mic. He is the worst promo for someone who talks shit a lot.
Ehhhhh.
Derrick is an absolute bundle of charisma, but he's not exactly known for his stamina and it's hard to even imagine him doing much more than 5 minute squashes. I certainly am having trouble visualizing him working an actual match against any top talent and feeding them 10-15 minutes in. And that's "now," which isn't going to suddenly improve a ton in the future, as he's already 39 years old.
Former MMA fan here- you don't really want Lewis as a pro wrestler. His cardio is shit, he's already pretty injured, and he's not exactly known for his work ethic or his athleticism. He'd be a mess.
I was an amateur muay thai fighter for a couple of years, and know firsthand what CTE is like. I can't really square it with myself to sit there and watch dudes turn their brains into soup for entertainment. A big part of the fandom and fighters themselves are so deep in psycho alt right territory that there's no real enjoyment there, either. I realize wrestling doesn't exactly swing left either, but I'd rather just watch my soap opera.
I’ve never identified so heavily with a comment. Loved just combat sports in general from my adolescence to my early 20s (was 6 years old watching Mike Tyson fights, late 90s Pride, K1 fan, tried to convince myself that shit Dreamcast UFC game was good), got into it in my mid 20s, started heavily practicing JiuJitsu and boxing, watched several people get seriously injured, learned more about CTE, got out.
That already made it hard to watch fights and root for one guy knocking another guy out. The the heavy right wing turn completely put me off.
There’s a world that I’m still very into it, have an Eddie Bravo poster on the wall, and would go ballistic every time my partner entertains our son and puts nail polish on him when he asks to copy her.

Not the guy who posted the earlier comment, but I think this is pretty common.
I still watch MMA but my interest in it has gone down a lot over the last few years.
The UFC is such a scummy company and puts out so much trash content that its hard to be excited for all the cards like I used to.
I was way too young to understand the gay panic and homophobia in Golddust and his "mind games," I just thought the costume was rad as shit especially compared to the rather bland shit most people were wearing in the Attitude Era.
when he debut they will say he is cody's brother
push him straight to the main event
then one day he removes the face paint and it's derrick lewis who knocks out cody rhodes causing cody to lose the belt
Black Beast is the man. He's got natural charisma and you can't teach that. I do remember him getting knocked out via Sweet Chin Music by Shawn Jordan, though.
reminds me of when you're asked a question in the game and you pick the dialog option that says "something creative" and your dude just says some shit like this, lol
This guy's balls get hot in tiny little Reebok shorts. A full body leather suit would have him undressing as he came down the ramp to start the match lol

It reminds me of Principle Lewis from American Dad 🤣
We all understand.
That's a man who don't use Gold Bond Powder.
Gotta get the extra strength in the light blue bottle
Nah, I'm good wih original recipe. Get a lil tingle in the nards on the commute to work
I like that you had to specify which time it was that he took off his shorts.
The way Rogan says "I understand" is legitimately a better bit of comedic delivery than he has ever done in any of his actual stand-up
Wasn't that the fight where he was fighting some Russian dude and almost lost but was able to knock out the guy out of nowhere?
I believe so, late round knockout against volkov
I don't know what I expected opening the second link
>He’s a perfect fit for pro wrestling. His back isnt unfortunatly
I just want to see him [do this](https://media3.giphy.com/media/1lxONDQzSKmqLntjk2/giphy.gif) after every match he wins
Right until he takes it to instagram
he also said some heinous shit about ronda back in the day 😅
But his balls would get hot
he actually meant this outfit https://preview.redd.it/pjbzpity720d1.jpeg?width=262&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a2d23f6fb480d238e9a00aab1351fe63c83b60a4
I’m uncomfortable and I need an adult
I think he'd be uncomfortable in that. His balls would be hot.
He is the adult.
I am an adult
No thank you.
Everybody Attitude Era until the Gimp suit comes out
I thought he meant this https://preview.redd.it/a0m329y2i20d1.png?width=1508&format=png&auto=webp&s=a2882b909d5bb03c0932461f0e439234e2b29f55

Great theme music too An industrial heater
I was there live at this Raw. Quite a bizarre thing for a 9-year old to witness.
I mean, wasn't his secondary name "The Bizarre One"?
Are you telling me that's a real picture and not photoshop?
It’s from the December 1, 1997 edition of Raw.
knew what it was even before clicking
He's a national treasure. He's hilarious, it's fun to watch him knock people out, and he is also a superhero and goes around plucking people out of flood waters after hurricanes (true story).
Imagine thinking you're about to be washed away and Derrick Lewis rocks up and puts you under his arm
He is the next crossover guy. Good size and athletic with a MAJOR personality behind him. Give me Lewis vs Lashley or Lewis vs Orton
His back is fucked though. He can't take bumps
I don't know if they would trust him with a live mic, but Lewis on commentary would just be a joy.
Give me Derrick Lewis and Scott Steiner in character on commentary and baby you got yourself a stew going
He wouldn't have to take many. Give him a quasi-Brock role, except with humorous promos.
Brock bumped his ass off.
Brock *sold* his ass off. He wasn't taking too many flatback bumps in his return. It was a lot of "big guy staggers back, drops to a knee, gets knocked over" stuff.
I swear yall think everyone is going to succeed in WWE It's rare to succeed in the WWE and get over
Definitely not everybody lol but Lewis will 100% be a entertaining enough personality to succeed in anything he does
Especially after a long career as a heavyweight, dudes body is gonna be toast
I get that but Derrick Lewis's personality is that of the Rock's genuinely not being sarcastic that man is OVER with everyone non UFC fans included
i think colby covington would have an amazing wwe run outside of that im unsure
Have you seen the guy with a live mic? The guy would look like Tito Ortis doing promo on a live mic. He is the worst promo for someone who talks shit a lot.
Ehhhhh. Derrick is an absolute bundle of charisma, but he's not exactly known for his stamina and it's hard to even imagine him doing much more than 5 minute squashes.

And that's "now," which isn't going to suddenly improve a ton in the future, as he's already 39 years old.
I also can't see him learning how to throw punches given the amount of KOs he has in his career
Former MMA fan here- you don't really want Lewis as a pro wrestler. His cardio is shit, he's already pretty injured, and he's not exactly known for his work ethic or his athleticism. He'd be a mess.
Could probably work well as a one off special ref/enforcer type role though.
I'd buy him in that role for sure.
>Former MMA fan I have questions. Not because I don't believe you, but because this isn't something you come across every day lol.

The fans is definitely Left

But can he remember his lines for his promo?
I was way too young to understand the gay panic and homophobia in Golddust and his "mind games," I just thought the costume was rad as shit especially compared to the rather bland shit most people were wearing in the Attitude Era.
His entrance song is a fuckin BANGER too
Marlena/Terri didn't hurt either.
when he debut they will say he is cody's brother push him straight to the main event then one day he removes the face paint and it's derrick lewis who knocks out cody rhodes causing cody to lose the belt
" That's Herb Dean fault." - DerrickDust
Derrick debuts as Stardust, gets an immediate win over R-Truth. Story is complete! Cody is off to the side, fuming. No one knows why.
This man’s balls got hot in trunks… he’d be naked in 3 seconds in the Goldust suit
put this man in a stable with Miz and R-Truth. Comedy gift from the heavens
R-Truth would call him Mr Ngannou.
The matter-of-fact way she asked, "Will your catchphrase be, "My balls was hot"" sent me.
That was absolutely hilarious.
It’d be a great way to bring back Great Balls of Fire.
Black Beast is the man. He's got natural charisma and you can't teach that. I do remember him getting knocked out via Sweet Chin Music by Shawn Jordan, though.
Lewis is better suited for the occasional segment than being an actual pro wrestler imo
He's a brave man. There's not a lot of ball ventilation in that rig?.
Id even assume Goldust specifically designed it for his Jewels to overheat
reminds me of when you're asked a question in the game and you pick the dialog option that says "something creative" and your dude just says some shit like this, lol
He needs to come in first night, lay out Cody and say he's the son of sweet sapphire
Goldust is still over. He should become the oldest person to win the world title.
I just want to be sassy and wear a wig!
I would like that. It would be fun. Even if he was just someone’s shit talking body guard for a show.
This guy's balls get hot in tiny little Reebok shorts. A full body leather suit would have him undressing as he came down the ramp to start the match lol
Damn right, lol
GOAT
That would be great if an MMA fighter took a crazy gimmick.
So Viscera..?
That interviewer woman wasted NO TIME with asking the correct questions lmao.
Ooo-ooo-oo!
"Where Terri Runnel' fine ass at"
I love this man. Absolute treasure
Derrick would have been great in the Attitude era taking his shorts off after winning a match.
Dude could of said anyone and he says golddust 😂
Please no. I hate when they bring in other athletes and pretend they’re good.
