In March 2001, DeAndre Coleman contacted old friend Eric Bohringer. Bohringer was still running the IWZ, along with the SWA, APCW, AWF, and IWZWD. Coleman, who had already competed in the SWA and APCW two years before, decided to go back to the fed that made him a star and that he made rich, the IWZ. For the next few months, Coleman became an 8 time IWZ World Champion. After he won the IWZ World title in March, a mere two weeks after he came out of retirement, he was invited to join the IWZWD, which is a fed ONLY for former or current IWZ World Champions. Coleman said yes, and faltered in that fed while still controlling the IWZ. Finally, on his 30th birthday, Coleman became the youngest IWZWD World Champion. However, Bohringer wanted to turn the IWZ into a worldwide promotion, so he folded the SWA, APCW, AWF, and IWZWD all on the same day, and had all their World champions fight the IWZ World champion in a big match to merge all the titles. It worked, and DeAndre Coleman won the match for his eigth IWZ World title in this, his third time, in the IWZ. Coleman, then, however, retired again, as his wife, Monique, was in the hospital due to a car accident. When Monique got better, Coleman unretired yet again, and went back to the now worldwide IWZ, which was the #2 promotion in the world, behind the IWF. Coleman won the IWZ title two more times before August. Coleman, looking to finally just retire for good, left the IWZ and went to Bohringer's new small time promotion, the IwF. This is the fed Bohringer wanted to become THE fed. He wanted it to compete head to head with the IWF-W, rather than just settle for being #2 like the IWZ. Bohringer didn't want any IWZ wrestlers in it, either, so he hired all new people, except for Coleman. Coleman was going to be the man who would be the first World champion, and then pass the torch to someone who would become the biggest star in the world. Coleman was then going to retire for good while the man who Coleman would pass the torch to, Brandon Thornton (an old foe of Coleman's in the XBWL), would go on to challenge the IWZ. Thornton would then beat the IWZ World Champion, who at the time was Shane Helms (going under the name Shane Helmsley, supposedly Triple H's little brother), and unify the two World titles, and thus taking over the IWZ, making the IwF a huge force, making fans tune in to see the new promotion that beat the IWZ and choose between the IWF and the IwF! Instead, the IwF faltered. Only Coleman really tried to participate. Thornton loved the idea of him becoming the biggest star in the world, but he didn't run with the ball he was given. No one did. And Bohringer wasn't looking to loose any money. Instead, he closed the fed during their second televised show, and awarded the World title to DeAndre Coleman. Coleman then retired as the IwF World Champion while Bohringer instead focused on making the IWZ the #1 promotion. DeAndre Coleman, his wife Monique Coleman, and their daughter, Andrea Coleman, live in Chicago, IL. Monique is pregnant with a baby boy, due on February 24th, 2002. DeAndre is currently providing the funding for Monique's own endeavor, a doctor's office. She is attending UofI to become a doctor.
