  • One of the most underused & underrated wrestler such a mat technician!

  • malenko was so crisp

  • This theme is probably inspired by Holts: "Mars, the Bringer of War"

    Malenko's such a good technician, when his music hit you knew it was going to be a good match...

  • The Shooter...The Ice Man...The Man Of A 1000 Holds

  • @Chuck27sla not like Jericho a man of 1004 holds.... ARMBAR, ARMDRAG, 3 handled Credenza!!!!!

  • such a very talented wrestler

  • Malenko is awesome. 

  • ARMBAR

    WHAT THEN.

  • He was always serious. Best technical wrestler out there.

  • it's sad dean malenko retired

  • come back dean malenko to wwe and wrestling you are one best technicians wrestling

  • @taker841 Dean Malenko is already in the WWE as a agent.

  • Malenko best in ECW and WCW ...

  • I'm surprised he never went for another run in WWE or isn't used as a mentor for someone.

  • @BrickCity4eva He is being used as an Agent backstage for WWE. He helps put the matches together.

  • @UnfortunateWill Yeah, but I'm surprised he never went for another Cruiserweight Championship run..or even worked in the newer ECW

  • Exactly Y He's called "The Man Of 1,000 Holds"

  • One of the best technical wrestlers ever.  Truly the "man of 1000 holds"

  • ...menacing theme for someone 4'10"

  • Reminds me of the Training Ground music form Timesplitters 2.

  • We need to start a Dean Malenko fan club.

  • 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...

  • thiago alves should come out to this song

  • Dean had EVERYTHING. Strength, agility... one of the best heels EVEEEER!

  • dean milenko looksw identical to bruce cambell from evil dead

  • Dean Malenko is THE BEST technical wrestler EVER...Period there is no argument up for debate...

  • 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

  • the iceman baby!!!!!!

  • @DemonSuplexMachine

    You are retarded, man. Major Facepalm for you.

    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.

  • This sounds like a Mario boss level song.

  • The Florida version of Bret Hart.

  • @Seanatonin Bret's got nothing on Dean Malenko. Bret is the man of 10 holds while Malenko is the man of 1000 holds

  • uh okay yall say he was crap? possibly the best wrestler (pure wrestler) of his time

  • 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.

  • This theme fits him.

  • One of the best to ever lace up a pair of boots.

  • when did Bruce Willis start wrestling?

  • yippie kay yay mother fucker 

  • 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.

    thanks for sharing.

  • i whom dean malenko to com back to the wwe asp and got for the wwe chompion or the wrold heavyweight champion and as the techincal wrestling

  • He never got the push because he's a smaller wrestler

    WWE misused them more than any other.

  • I always loved his in ring technical style, he was quick, efficient, and always professional.

  • Dean Malenko is who Randy Orton wants to be.

  • @TheAaronKendrick Randy Orton could never be Dean malenko they are no way alike...

  • @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.

  • @TheAaronKendrick i was agreeing with you but then think of there moves in that way they are no way alike

  • dean malenko is the beast of all of the wcw and wwe hand down they need to leat heam come back to the wwe he have a wwe champion or a wcw champion

  • dean malenko is the beast of all of the wcw and wwe hand down they need to leat heam come back to the wwe

  • he doing get the respected and wrestling and the wwe

  • he's the iceman and hes coming to get you

  • DEAN MALENKO had the best walk to the ring

  • DEAN...the only man with enough power to drop the Hitman on a turnbuckle and tear his groin like a piece of paper

  • 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.

  • That top rope gut buster was sick nasty yo!!! Also the Texas Cloverleaf is much cooler then the Sharpshooter or Boston Crab.

  • The Iceman, the man of 1000 Holds Deam Malenko !

  • roh is awesome

  • 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!!!!

  • the man of 1000 holds. the Ice man, dean malenko. Did he ever do 1000 holds?

  • @Aizen1122 go watch Chris Jericho's 1004 holds if u havent seen it man haha. its on my favorites

  • He deserved a shot for the title so many times over...

  • How your spell underratted? D-E-A-N M-A-L-E-N-K-O

  • one of the most underrated wrestlers ever.

  • john cena should use this as his entrance theme.

  • 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.

  • this is back when pro-wrestling had some technicality to it. Dean is the perfect example. By the way did Dean ever wrestle Bret Hart?

  • @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 ICEMAN!!!!!! Great custom 'Tron.

  • Awesome. Dean Malenko IS wrestling.

  • I chose the nick name Ice partly cause this dude. That music adn entrance always stuck in my head

  • Stinko Malenko 

  • @JustDoWhatITellYou Deano Machino.

  • 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 dude watch tna ya get some pretty good solid matches outta that =]

  • @breaththeair especially at thier PPVs...simply amazing matches

  • @zTiamaTz That's why people should watch ROH.

  • @SS4Moku

    If they ever got a TV deal, I would. I still try to catch them at the old ECW arena when they're in town though.

  • @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!

  • just nothing but raw intensity

  • This man did a better performance at WCW than WWF.

  • I bet you a Kurt Angle vs Dean Malenko math would be epic.

  • @blueprintmorgan That is one match I would pay top dollar to see.

  • one of the greastest in ring preformers of all time!! man was a beast

  • Damn I forgot how good this sounds...with out Mike Tenya talking over it

  • 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!!!

  • This man is of the many definations of the word underrated

  • Malenko is one of the top 3 best technicians of all time. Very underused in the WWF

  • @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 I agree with you there

  • @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.

  • malenko can't hold a candle to jericho's 1004 holds.

  • my uncle was trained by dean and he said he drunk a half-cup of butter every night

  • i think malenko was every bit as good as a technician as bret hart or benoit, hell he even taught benoit the crossface!

  • @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.

  • dean malinko not great career in wwe fuck wwe what a waste of talent

  • Dean should be a multi-time world champ in many wrestling companies.

  • 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

  • THIS SUMMER... BRAISE YOURSELF

    ONE MAN

    ONE MISSION

    ONE PURPOSE

    FROM THE DIRECTORS WHO BROUGHT TO YOU TERMINATOR 2 JUDGEMENT DAY

    STARRING DEAN MALENKO IN

    "THE MAN WITH A THOUSAND HOLDS"........ RATED PG FOR PRETTY GOOD

    kids should get parental guidence before seeing

    hits theatures on July 20

  • underrated....truly one of the best wrestlers in the 90's. I think he would've been a great WCW champion, if it wasn't for guys like Hogan, & Nash

  • Comment removed

  • @hooligun240 they did wrestle and bret won the match.

  • Man WWF/WWE turned him and Saturn to some goofys!

  • "THE ICEMAN!"

  • I would love to see Dean Malenko(in his prime) vs. Kurt Angle. Anybody else?

  • the man of 1000 holds!!!!!!!!

  • 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.

  • @TheMadStork83 Good Shit.

  • Comment removed

  • What is this theme called

  • The best and most underrated wrestler of all time. This is what wrestling is suppose to be.

    Too bad all the glam and pretty boys got in his way.

  • THE MASTER OF THE TEXAS CLOVERLEAF.

  • The Shooter, The Iceman, The man with 1,000 holds...miss those days.

  • dean should make a appearance on wwe in a 1-time match.

  • @geemoli Agianst Breat hart both at 100% YES YES YES!!!!

  • Anyone else want to conduct a raid on the Death Star? Anyone?

  • I feel like Im in a zelda game!

  • One of my favorite wrestlers.

  • 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 malenko the man of 1000 holds

    but not 1 smile

  • LOL @ 0:25..... man did brad armstrong ever get a victory

  • yeah.but only when he wrestles jobbers.

  • 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 Malenko was the John Stockton of wrestling. There was nothing fancy about his style pure skill and love for the craft

  • Malenko was great. I remeber that 30 minute fight he had with Benoit at Hog Wild 96.

    No other wreslter could could off a match that long except Manlenko!

  • Dudes just dont realize Malenko was nice as hell

  • Reminds me of Mickey from Pee Wee's

    Big Adventure when he snarls at the

    camera

  • 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

  • @anime4053 agree 100%

  • Comment removed

  • The wrestling ring is his bed.

  • this shows that you don't need gimmicks, just go out and wrestle. Dean Malenko did that and got so much respect for it

  • 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.

  • The man who put the Texas Cloverleaf submission on the map! He let his his skill speak for himself! ICEMAN RULES!!!

  • Dean Malenko was the man; cold, calculating, precise, execution. I'm glad we got 22 years of his amazing matches.

  • @DefLeppardVanHalen The man of 1000 holds!

  • seriously underrated wrestler, i forgot how incredible his moves were! Plus, he had a bad ass entrance music, can't stop listening to it!

  • Man, I loved Malenko and Benoit in WCW, so many moves not seen nowadays.

  • 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

  • I would like to see Malenko vs Taz. Dream match right there!

  • Holy crap, I remember this. THE ICEMAN

  • the most overlooked, under-respected wrestler ever. This guy is a wrestling god

  • 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.

  • @firstcoolhive i agree that he was, put in the hall of fame along with his Boris Malenko

  • Comment removed

  • the man of a 1000 moves

  • if Dean Malenko didn't retire from the ring, he could have been ECW Champion and could have owned it basically

  • This man can put you into a pretzel blindfolded while in sleep.

  • RED ONE TO SQUAD LEADER! RED ONE TO SQUAD LEADER!!! COME IN!!! DO YOU READ!!!

    *static*

    THIS IS SQUAD LEADER - GO AHEAD RED ONE.

    *static*

    I'VE GOT A BOGEY ON MY SIX! I CAN'T SHAKE 'EM!!!

  • Short on stature, not on wrestling ability!

  • You will Tap to the Texas Cloverleaf!!!!!

  • This theme was great i used to love when i heard this i would go crazy he was one of the reasons my nick name became iceman

  • 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!

  • Comment removed

  • Wow this brings back good ol wcw memories... Anyway... this really fits Malenko's gimmick. He's serious, and ruthless... damn i miss WCW

  • You had to be a special wrestler to walk this theme and Malenko was IT

  • Tiger Driver And Texas CloverLeaf Special Kicked Ass!!

  • 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!

  • my favorite cruiserweight in wcw

  • I actually heard this song on Ricki Lake of all places.

  • he and lance storm were 2 of the most under rated technical wrestlers of all time, such a shame

  • Dean Malenko= Better than your favorite wrestler.

  • Comment removed

  • Sounds like something from Star Wars.

  • fuckin hell SMILE dean

  • What can ya say, he had no personality but by god he could wrestle.

  • Malenko was billed as the man of a thousand holds and counterholds
