Lo Down was a tag team formed in WWF in July 2000 consisting of Chaz (formerly known as Mosh of The Headbangers) and D'Lo Brown. The team enjoyed minor success but mostly wrestled on Sunday Night HEAT and WWF Jakked/Metal. Shortly after the team forming, Tiger Ali-Singh joined the fray to become their manager.

The tag team were given the gimmicks of two bitter Muslim wrestlers who felt that they were being held down. They were given new ring attire, incorporating turbans and sashes, and began using The Iron Sheik's former entrance music, they were even given Arabic sounding names on one episode of Sunday Night HEAT.

The popularity of the team rapidly dwindled, and at the Royal Rumble 2001, they were both denied a place in the Royal Rumble, as their spot had been given to comedian Drew Carey, Much to the dismay of their Manager. The team was eventually taken off TV after a series of random and pointless matches. After weeks of not appearing on WWE programming, WWE management made the decision to release Singh and Chaz.

D'Lo Brown was assigned to WWF's developmental territory before later being called back up to mainstream WWF TV, where he restarted his singles career and feuded for the European Championship. To this day, there is still a small cult following of the team.
