I'm going to be disappointed if he wasn't hiding his drugs in a trash can.

Potential new theme song for future bookings:

"Undercover operatives" reads to me between the lines like he got ratted out by a "friend". Ouch. I try to not to pass judgment without knowing somebody's story and I don't know much about the man, so I wish him the best and if he has a problem of some kind I hope he gets better. Kum ba ya.

Damn, this might be the most interesting (not to mention creepy) Michael Jackson song I've heard. I'd never heard this before.

Who does he think he is? A poor imitation of Walter White?

Part of the story reminds me of the Simpson's where the questions is asked "what popular characters died?" or something like that and after the commercial the announcer said "if you said Bleeding Gums Murphy or Dr. Marvin Monroe, you would be wrong. They were never popular."

To which I say "what star of WWE in the 1990s was recently arrested for drug related charges?"
If you said Duke the Dumpster Droese, you would be wrong. He was NEVER a star.

Well, if he needs some trial money he can go back to WWE for a Triple H burial. I'm sure he wants to get back for that Royal Rumble Free For All disqualification.

WWE.com had a story on him a few years ago. I can't believe I remembered that. Many useful bits of information leave my brain immediately after entering it, but I will forever remember Duke Droese's WWE.com profile.

Well that's the end of his teaching career....

Duke the Dumpster was arrested? It's good to know that he still takes bookings....

Mugshot?

I'm surprised his bio is still on WWE.com.

Innocent until proven guilty.


Plus, I think other than writing new articles for "where are they now?" no one ever goes back & edits/deletes the old ones

[JTG Fan]

I was a bit surprised he got one of those 'where are they now' articles considering the rumors* that he was bragging about using date rape drugs on girls and Bradshaw decided to teach him a lesson, Bradshaw style.


*and they are just that, rumors.

Yeah, that's a bullshit story. Duke was also in the Gimmick Battle Royal at Wrestlemania X7, which wouldn't have happened if he was a date rapist.

[jason1980s]

Whenever I see Bradshaw on Fox News programs I wonder if they know about his past with the claims of "soaping" or the brutal non scripted beatdown of Blue Meanie.

Marty Jannetty has publicly admitted to slipping date-rape drugs to people, and he was brought back multiple times after he said so. (*in fairness, his story didn't involve actually raping them, they were on a plane and after they were knocked out, the "boys" messed with them by doing things like cutting their hair, smearing them with lipstick, etc)

Oh, come on Droese! You're a mid-90's WWF wrestler turned public school teacher! You already have more than enough money!!!
