He was best known for his time in the World Wrestling Federation (WWF), initially under the ring name Puke (a nickname carried over from his football career), and then under the shortened version of his surname.

Drozdov was quadriplegic due to a neck injury sustained from a botched wrestling maneuver, but regained most of the use of his upper body and arms.

[3] After a stint at Fork Union Military Academy, Drozdov attended the University of Maryland and was a defensive tackle for the Terrapins.

[citation needed] Drozdov appeared with Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW) from 1997 to 1998, where he formed a stable of "invaders" from the WWF with Lance Wright, Brakkus, Doug Furnas and Phil LaFon.

Animal, enraged that Puke got involved, began to brawl with him before walking away from the ring in disgust, effectively ending Drozdov's run with L.O.D.

After Drozdov's stint with the L.O.D., efforts were made to rebrand his persona, including one involving a series of skits called Droz's World, where he would tell stories about his life as a professional wrestler.

He added Prince Albert to his faction as his personal "body piercing artist" and Key, alleged to be Droz's dealer.

On the Sunday Night Heat before WrestleMania XV, Droz competed in a Battle Royal to determine #1 contenders to the WWF Tag Team Championship making it to the final four before being eliminated.

[15] Drozdov's active wrestling career ended prematurely when he suffered a severe neck injury during a match with D'Lo Brown during a WWF SmackDown!

[16] He was immediately admitted to the Nassau County Medical Center, where he underwent hours of surgery to reduce and stabilize the pressure on his injured neck.

[18] Droz continued to work for the WWE as a writer and columnist following his accident and wrote articles and essays for website and magazine content.

Drozdov made an appearance on the Life and Death of the Road Warriors DVD in 2005, discussing his run with the group in 1998.

In September 2007, Droz was named honorary captain for a Maryland Terrapins football game against Villanova University.

Drozdov used a customized, tank-like wheelchair that was designed and financed by his college friend, Under Armour founder Kevin Plank.
