In September 2018, Derrick leveraged his experience in the entertainment industry to become the backstage interviewer for the World Famous Monster Factory.  Established in the early 1980s, the Monster Factory Training Center has a lineage that spans several decades. Notably, numerous Monster Factory graduates have achieved success in professional wrestling promotions such as WWF/WWE, WCW, ECW, New Japan Pro Wrestling, Ring of Honor, and All Elite Wrestling.

Since 2011, the Monster Factory has been under the ownership and operation of Danny Cage, a head trainer and Monster Factory graduate.

Derrick has been an avid enthusiast of wrestling for over four decades. Having extensively followed wrestling promotions both domestically and internationally, it was inevitable that he would pursue a career in the professional wrestling industry. In January 2019, Danny elevated Derrick to the position of ring announcer. Currently, Derrick introduces the stars of Monster Factory and East Coast Professional Wrestling (ECWA), drawing inspiration from announcers such as the late Howard Finkel, Gary Michael Cappetta, Justin Roberts, Lilian Garcia, and UFC’s Bruce Buffer.
