----------------------------------
A
definite fan favorite in the world of professional wrestling, or at
least he would have you believe that.
Dancing
fool, wrestling mastermind, or just plain out nut case, whatever
word or phrase you use to describe the Disco Inferno, you can't deny
the man's natural athletic ability in the ring.
Whether
he is on the microphone, sitting at ringside with Jeremy Borash
calling action, or in the ring destroying an opponent with his
devastating "Last Dance" chin breaker/ stunner maneuver,
he is one of wrestling's true finds.
Early
in the Disco Inferno's career he invented a submission move, that
according to him was inescapable. However, there was a catch. This
move was so difficult to execute successfully the Disco Inferno
would have to consult a piece of paper at ringside, where he would
have the instructions for the move mapped out step by step.
As
you can imagine the Disco Inferno did not pick up many victories
with this maneuver, and his career would kick into overdrive, after
the discovery of the finisher "The Chart Buster" (now
"The Last Dance" - a stunner), which would eventually lead
to a win over the then WCW Television Champion, (and the other
dancing fool in WCW at the time) Alex Wright.
Disco
Inferno would hold onto this title for nearly two months, where he
would loose the title to Perry Saturn, and eventually win it back
from him not too long after. Disco Inferno would eventually loose
the WCW Television Title to Booker T.
After
this Disco Inferno would become Scott Hall's shadow, after wanting
to become a part of the New World Order, even being an integral part
of Bill Goldberg's first professional wrestling defeat, at WCW
Starrcade 1998.
After
this he would join forces with Alex Wright as a tag team.
Disco
Inferno again would taste singles gold, where he defeated Psicosis
for the WCW Cruiserweight Title, holding the title for about a
month.
The
New World Order was not the only faction he was a member of. He
joined the "Filthy Animals", where he changed his name to
Disqo, in order to keep up with the other, "cooler",
members of the group. It is also around this time when Disco, I mean
Disqo, introduced the good fans of WCW to his duck.
After
this Disco realigned with his good friend Alex Wright, and they
created a tag team called "The Boogie Knights".
Not
long after that WCW went under, Disco Inferno was on a plane that
went Down Under, where he would be one of the premiere wrestlers
with the new promotion, World Wrestling Allstars.
Wrestling
on their first show on the 19th October 2001, he faced Buff Bagwell.
This would be his first tour of many. Few actually know this but the
Disco Inferno, is the only wrestler to have appeared on every World
Wrestling Allstars tour.
Disco
Inferno, to my knowledge, was the very first man to take place in an
event called the "Banana Toss". If you aren't sure of what
I mean, take a look at The Inception, where he threw a
full grown banana off the top of a 15ft cage, and through a table.
At
the Revolution pay per view from Las Vegas, Disco
Inferno was the recipient of a beating from "Big Poppa
Pump" Scott Steiner, and at Eruption, it didn't
get much better for Disco Inferno, where he was beat down by a
"gang of kids" (as he would have you believe) whilst
Ernest "The Cat" Miller and Brian "Grandmaster"
Christopher looked on
For
Revolution, Eruption, Retribution
and The Reckoning, The Disco Inferno provided WWA fans
with his own unique brand of commentary, which is both entertaining
and informing at the same time.
The
Disco Inferno also wrestles with NWA: Total Nonstop Action, where he
uses his real name Glen Gilbertti and leads Sports Entertainment
Xtreme.
Recently
Disco won a battle royal which made him the number 1 contender for
the NWA Heavyweight Title, proof that his career has come full
circle.
On
The Reckoning tour, on a house show in Melbourne, Australia
(23/5/03), Disco Inferno challenged Sting for the WWA title. Sting
would eventually triumph, but Disco put up one hell of a fight.
Disco
Inferno, or Glen Gilbertti, what ever you wish to call him is now a
major contender for any title, anywhere in the world, and Disco is
now ready to silence his critics and make them believers, like he
has so many others.
