So my university is celebrating its 150th anniversary and this year we have a ton of speakers lined up. Tonight we had Darren Young. He was very relaxed and cool, interacted with the fans during his discussion and after. He talked about making it into the business, how people reacted to him coming out and how he wants to return from ACL/MCL surgery. Wrestling wise, he talked about working for the McMahons, wanting to feud with Rusev, Cena, or Orton and how Vince split up the Primetime Players. He says his most embarrassing moment was when he and Titus worked a house show in their baby blue trunks against the Wyatt Family and Rowan slammed him so hard, he sharted himself. A cool story, he says his Madison Square Garden debut was his first time on the Wrestlemania stage. At WM 20, he played a Druid during Undertaker's entrance, which I thought was crazy. After the discussion, he announced he could stay all night if he wanted and he had an impromptu meet and greet, signing autographs and taking pics. Overall, great talk and he's a really down to earth guy. You can tell he really appreciates his fans and giving them attention in return for the support he has gotten.

When I looked at the pictures, I honestly asked myself "Where's Darren?"
Cool story though.

Congratulations, He seems like a nice down to Earth guy. And hopefully he can return will a new gimmick, cause truth be told I've never been a huge fan of his in-ring work.

Didn't know he had a knee injury, that's a shame man.
Defly wish him the best, I've always been a fan of Darren Young's style.

I laughed so hard when I read that he sharted himself.

Sounds like a great guy, thanks for sharing.
Hopefully he has a new gimmick and thus a new attire, and has improved on his in-ring work.
