MAN, I still get shivers just remembering how the best Nitros and WCW PPVs that I remember started with a match for the cruiserweight title between Dean Malenko and Rey Mysterio Jr. When this theme played I KNEW I was going to witness a hell of a match and it got me so pumped up.
Definitely wrestling was worth watching back then...
if you dislike Dean malenko then you truly dont like wrestling if you dont like the ice man of 1 thousand Holds this iguyy could tie somebody up into a pretzel very skilled for a pro wreslter
THIS was Dean Malenko's Entrance Music in WCW and it STILL SHOULD'VE BEEN his music in WWE. WWE dropped the ball in that he should've been allowed to continue the ICEMAN/Man of a 1000 holds gimmick. Bah.
People that say Dean was boring and could never get over with the fans, go to Slamboree 98 when he won the cruiserweight battle royal pretending to be Ciclope and see how the place jumped off when he took the mask off.
IMHO dean malenko was the Bret Hart of WCW. One of my favorites too. Its shame they destroyed his carrier in WWE. That James Bond routine didn't fly for long.
I'll always remember Dean best for his time in WCW.
@Lacker89 Wow way to pay attention to what I said...
I said Dean Malenko is who Randy Orton WANTS to be. I didn't say he was like Dean Malenko...even though they are somewhat alike. Cold, calculating, methotical...Dean was the Iceman technition, Orton is the Viper.
Totally respect Dean Malenko wrestling styles. One of the best real wrestlers. Eddie Guerrero, Benoit, and chris jericho are my top favorite as well as best technical wrestlers in WCW.
I would've given my life's savings to see Dean vs. Sting vs, Bret, in a three-way dance!!!! The Scorpian Deathlock vs. The Sharpshooter vs. The Texas Cloverleaf....WCW, ?You dropped the ball on this one, that's why you're dead!!!!
Dean Malenko went from being one of the most hated to the most loved when he started his own war with the NWO. That music hit and you knew the Iceman was coming to take someone out.
@TheDannyboy55 yea. Dean Malenko wrestle Bret Hart in WCW Nitro on 11/23/1998. there's a video of them wrestling each other on that date. but idk if they wrestle again after that date in WCW
The best showing Malenko had in America was in ECW. They let him just wrestle solid matches without all the flash and bullshit. All Paul Heyman wanted out of him was a solid match, and he delivered every time, regardless of the opponent.
The series between him and Eddie Guerrero were truly classic. You couldn't do that in WCW or WWE back then, and you definitely can't do it now. It's just another reason wrestling isn't worth watching anymore.
@zTiamaTz They did get a new TV deal. I stopped watching a while back on HDNet and missed out on some good stuff, mainly because I wasn't able to order the PPVs. I can't wait to see ROH again when they're back on TV!
I LOVE this man!!! His them used to give me chills everytime he came down the aisle. Hell of a wrestler and I agree with you all...totally underrated!!! Love ya Dean!!!
@ShooterI87 How do you expect them to use him....he is in the back now so it all worked out but he probably is a better trainer than a performer as far as the audience these days go
@ShooterI87 Along with scores of other very talented but unfortunate wrestlers (some of whom are dead thanks to this ::cough cough:: Owen Hart ::cough cough::). Yet they'll fawn over undertalented, roided up losers who end up injuring half their roster then quitting like Brock Lesnar, Nathan Jones, Viscera or Bob "King of Sandbagging" Holly.
@killbillrules yeah but at least he showed up that was good segment with micheal hayes, jerry lawler, arn anderson, ricky steamboat and irs imo. I think i could be wrong but isn't dean malenko a wwe agent?
@killbillrules dean malenko did come back a few weeks ago and he was used in wwe storyline with legends jerry lawler mike rotundo, micheal hayes, arn anderson, and steamboat to promote his steamboat dvd and get destroyed by nextus. Used to build the nextus up and for nextus to continue there dominating role on raw.
he doesn't look like he cud do all those high-flying moves but wen i saw him In-ring i was shocked and amazed very underated wwf really looked over him
Another superstar that WCW could have put over much better. It is a shame that WCW decided to constintly put over Hogan, Flair, Nash etc when they had endless amount of talent in Malenko, Guerrero, Benoit, Mysterio and Jericho. Just goes to show you when 4 out of those 5 guys go to become World Champion in WWE that WCW really missed out.
This video shows why WCW never flourished. This video is better than any Hogan Main Event during his run in WCW. Guys like Malenko, Jericho, Guerrero, Benoit, and Mysterio should have been PUSHED. I shouldn't forget guys like Booker T as well. His push was WAY too late.
Dean was misused everywhere he was, he should have gotten a few more US title reigns in WCW and should have been at least an IC champ in WWE. 96-98 Malenko will always be one of the best ever.
Dean should have became so much more than he was. Only problem was the fact that he was purely a wrestler and not a performer. This guy is one of my all time favorites and in a world where the best at wrestling were on top, he would pretty much have been the Goldberg of WCW. Sadley though that is not the case
your right CwHart, 'these days' it's NOT ENOUGH for you to be a great technical wrestler, nah, you gotta get saddled with a stupid gimmick, a lame ass catch phrase, and in some cases, you HAVE to alter your moveset/FINISHER!!!! God forbid CM Punk uses the Pedigree off the top rope like he USED TO, we CAN'T have him SHOWING UP 'The King of Kings' now CAN WE!!!!
DEAN never got that big push in WCW this guy should of been WCW world heavyweight champion especially around 98-99 WCW always kept him down and when Dean was in WWF he was so misused DEAN is one of the greatest technical wrestlers EVER that is one reason WCW failed. (Dean or DDP should of been the one who broke GOLDBERG undefeated record) and i am also a big GOLDBERG fan
Dean was so insane in the ring. He may not have had the most verbal charisma, but he was a true master. He works for WWE, I wonder why they don't occasionally have him wrestle, it's like if i owned a basketball team and employed Michael Jordan but never let him play.
This is indeed the most respected and technical wrestler of all-time. And the true man of a 1,000 holds. That's why they called him "The Iceman" Dean Malenko
should have gotten a IC Title run, or at least an ECW Title run, because if he was still wrestling he would have most likely gotten either a ECW Title run or IC title run
@firstcoolhive Totally, Dean Malenko should have been WCW & WWFWorld champion at least twice each, but never did because of politicking by Hogan,Russo, and Bischoff. There should have been more different champion's in WCW from 1996-2001 Alway's Hogan,Sting,Flair,Nash,Sid, and Scott Steiner among many other's.

his match was great whenn he took on mysterio at great american bash 1996 and it took a toprope powerbomb and malenko putting his feet on the ropes to beat mysterio.
I need some ideas for my caw and I'm using youtube for it. My guy is going to be a technical wrestler. If anyone can. Please send me a list of your oppinions of the 10 best technical wrestlers ever. It will help me with inspiration for my caws moves and look. Thank you and this video kiks ass!
Yes Inoki,Funk jr, Brisco, and Bockwinkle are great.. But i have been able too see much of them. Youtube is main place to see great wrestling now a days since i dont get enough cash to buy old wrestling tapes. What are your top ten?
This man was The Iceman. You can't expect him to smile. Forget smiling. All he had to do was kick your ass and that was it. He did that. Malenko OWNED!
One of the most underused & underrated wrestler such a mat technician!

Yes Inoki,Funk jr, Brisco, and Bockwinkle are great.. But i have been able too see much of them. Youtube is main place to see great wrestling now a days since i dont get enough cash to buy old wrestling tapes. What are your top ten?

1: Dory Funk Jr.
2: Antonio Inoki
3: Nick Bockwinkle

This man was The Iceman. You can't expect him to smile. Forget smiling. All he had to do was kick your ass and that was it. He did that. Malenko OWNED!

This comment has received too many negative votes show
about as charasmatic as a wet towel.
pint sized with 1970's ring atire makes him about as marketable as a playgirl issue of sumo's.
as for being a great wrestler, i wouldnt say he was. he was a great athlete, but to me his moves and spots looked to overehearsed.
my point being, dean malenko = meeeh

Dean Malenko= Better than your favorite wrestler.
