Orlando Brown’s wrestling debut
Former Ravens offensive tackle Orlando Brown had been advertised to make his pro wrestling debut last night for Maryland Championship Wrestling, but “Zeus” never got into the ring.
MCW was promoting a six-man tag match as its main event at the North Point Flea Market in Dundalk, featuring Brown and former Ravens guard Jeff Blackshear on Danny Doring’s team. While Blackshear did indeed wrestle, Brown only signed autographs at the event, as did former teammates Bennie Thompson and Wally Williams.
It turns out there was a miscommunication with Brown’s agent, MCW owner Dan McDevitt said. McDevitt said he thought there was a deal in place for Brown to participate in the match, but that Brown was under the impression that he was just making a personal appearance.
When I called Brown last week to discuss his ring debut for a story in The Sun, it was obvious that there was some confusion as to who was doing what. “Wrestling? I’m not wrestling. I’m just signing autographs,” he said.
So, to sum it up, Brown performed as many wrestling moves Sunday night as Adam "Pacman" Jones has in TNA.
