As a fellow Canadian it makes me proud to call you a great ambassador for us and always conducts yourself in a classy manner. The last few years your games has really stepped up. Great interview was waiting for this one since you told us about it.
@DjakedB405 What do you disagree with? I'm a bit closer to an average fan than a hardcore wrestling fan, and I understand and agree with his case pretty well. You want to make it accessible to new and casual viewers....this is what comics and pre-streaming TV did all the time?
Disco gets a heel pop for just working the marks...Young wrestlers take notes. He doesn't have to take a bump to work the crowd- THAT is what a good worker does.
Disco was one of the best on the WCW roster and was never pushed enough. One of the best character ideas ever. Who doesn’t want to see a disco guy get his ass kicked? The visual of a disco guy kicking someone’s ass is just as good. You win either way with it.
@@traviswilson36 I don't think he meant you are an unicorn, I think he wants you to find the unicorn (possibly the gay unicorn)... Regardless, either way, it's bizarre.
I’ve also noticed guys watching each other readying themselves for their opponents’ next move. That never used to happen. I so get what Disco is saying.
SO happy to see Disco getting some well deserved respect. Dude has very strong & valid opinions. I agree with his take often, and it’s very refreshing. Love how sincere & direct he is. It’s better for the business.
I never found myself changing the channel when Disco wrestled. Always put on an entertaining match. Always in good shape looked the part and always was the underdog. That’s why he had a good fan base.
@@TheUnseen0n3 I went to a Boston Garden nitro back in the day with a bunch of hall of famers. Disco and Kidman had easily the best match on the show. They were the only ones given time, so you know they were thought highly of going in. They were expected to deliver and they did. Always thought Disco was a great character
Always a fan, but I was always going back n forth between the companies to see what was happening. But Disco, Jericho, Eddie, Benoit always put on the best wrestling matches in wcw till the smaller wrestlers went to wwe and became bigger stars
Excellent interview. What makes Disco Inferno so good to listen to is that he doesnt pretend to be something he's not. He went with his status in WCW and TNA and made the best out of it. His last run in tna showed he knew how to get over.
@@MisfitWrestlingPodcast because he was and he always played his characters well too. The fact that he has stayed relevant is another accomplishment whether or not you agree with his opinions
@@MisfitWrestlingPodcastHe was a good worker. You need quality job guys who can get it, even help carry the main event caliber guys and gentlemen momentum for the top. Al Snow, Billy Gunn, Bob Holly, ... lots of these guys aren't in the main event but they know the business.
I don't understand the hate with some people when it comes to Disco Inferno. Of course you don't have to agree with every opinion of Disco Inferno but he always gives constructive criticism. He doesn't just hate on things to hate on it. When something is good, great, excellent he's going to get into it. When its not good, then he'll trash it but almost always gives an idea that can maybe make it better. And in WCW he stayed in his lane and mastered that and was damn good. Put some respect on his name!
@@leslysincere3374 Well, that's the problem of today and I guess a fault (or not) of his own. He's just VERY straight forward and direct, doesn't pull punches with his opinions. Same with Konnan, which the younger generation isn't so fond of.
@@danzena4059 I stopped listening to K100 when Disco said he refused to watch FTR vs The Briscoes I beacuse he didn't want to see "thigh slapping." Dude has no idea what he's talking about, just hates on things to be a hater.
Not gonna lie, I love his prospective on being safe but being believable. Obviously it’s different strokes for different folks. I’m not saying modern wresting is trash, obviously it’s not. I just personally want better timing if you are gonna do high spots and more strategy. You dont need to do every move in every match. Better selling, and respecting the finish.
Having a good mind for the business doesn't mean you had to be the best performer to qualify. Andy Reid, Nick Saban, had middling playing careers but are all recognized as Hall of Fame cosches.
@@traviswilson36 Nah he was quite talented. Got himself over. Actually, his segments in WCW always garnered super high ratings. And I'm a pretty smart guy, not the smartest guy in the room usually but I'm pretty switched on. I've got a good personality, I make people laugh. Not sure why you're watching a Disco Inferno interview if you dislike him so much! Maybe you can go do something positive with your day Travis.
K100 with Konnan and Disco is the best wrestling podcast because it's actual wrestlers. I don't wanna hear takes about pro wrestling especially the inner workings from people who have never wrestled at a top level promotion
Big Disco fan and one of my favorite heels. Man, I still miss the Monday night wars and was never into wrestling as much after WCW went out of business.
Disco is definitely one of the most significant intellectuals in professional wrestling. I'm saying this being a person having listened to him for years on The Brand and having had episodes of hating the guy (as he can be very annoying when he wants to). But, it is a fact.
Disco Inferno may not be everyone's cup of tea, but he's well informed with his opinions. And they are just that, opinions. People take it way too seriously sometimes.
@@PreferredCustomer Hey don't talk about AEW's crowd like that!! I assure you that they have at least have a few dozen people on the other side of the camera as well ; )
To me, Disco Inferno is like that one old school relative, not everyone can stand him, sometimes he makes valid points, sometimes doesn't, be we all love him regardless of it haha
@@traviswilson36 you must be unemployed since every single comment on this video you've replied to with no real points or purpose. If you don't like Disco why'd you even click on the video? I guess you're not an intellectual either.
Honestly .. Completely agree with make it look more like an actual fight or like they’re actually hurting each other again While being safer with their body’s . I love a good wrestling match ! But I’m getting over performances
I actually think AEW would do better if it enforced the older, forgotten wrestling rules. Like no closed fist, no top rope, time limits, etc. It would actually make the product establish guidelines for the audience (instead of wondering "Why do forearm shots? Why doesn't he just punch him?"). And the limitations give more creativity--and more options for storytelling finishes and getting heat (easy way for heel to cheat). Not having them just means you have one less tool to use.
There’s nothing disco says that every ex wrestler or Jim Cornette doesn’t say & oh ya, these guys have been in the business for 30+ years & 9/10 times they are proven right
@@olaakande5581 yeah but Glen gets heat cause you got people that remember his Disco inferno gimmick..A gimmick that was was seen as comedy or as a jobber..Listen to the guy speak.He speaks intelligently..Cornette is allso an intelligent guy,a guy that loves to Verbally eviscerate people.Sometimes he takes it too personal..
Hard for people to get invested if we have no idea who they are week to week. Comics got this year's ago, actually. Stan Lee would say that every comic might be someone's very first ever, and Marvel wrote that way accordingly.
@@chriscornelius2518because he’s small. He has a small diaphragm. I agree that he’s also not speaking from his chest, it’s all from his head and throat, but add to that the fact that he’s kind of small means that his lung compression isn’t helping his volume.
EXCELLENT Interview, loved every minute of it. Disco knows what he's talking about. I don't do the tribal thing-- I was watching both WWE and AEW, I just got tired of the AEW goofiness!
I agree with a lot of what Disco says here. I tend to favor WWE because of the larger than life characters, decent stories, and the athleticism shown especially from these new college kids in NXT. I want the performance to look realistic, but I don't want people doing risky shit or taking unprotected shots to the head because you end up seeing the surgery photos on Twitter or Instagram and that puts a drag on the product. It's why I don't watch boxing or MMA. I don't really want to see one person really bashing in another person's head. The wrestling move "inflation" where everyone's doing super kicks or powerbombs or DDTs that don't win any matches has to go. I also agree with Disco about a person looking at their opponent for what seems like forever waiting to catch them from a top rope spot or you'll have someone hold a metal chair like they're gonna bash someone in the head only to awkwardly position themselves to try and hit them in the back or in the gut. If you can't make it look good and realistic, you shouldn't be able to do it. If only they had some developmental area where performers could learn that kind of stuff...
I come from a fight sports background, it’s why Bret Hart is my favorite wrestler ever; his shit looks believable and he sold very well. The point is to simulate a fight, I can understand why certain people wouldn’t enjoy combat sports the way I do, but if someone wants to see gymnastics they would go watch gymnastics. There’s a middle ground that I think has been totally left behind by the obviously fake bullshit that some wrestlers do.
I'm old school. I miss the days when we watched wrestling...... just to watch wrestling. If we liked it we watched. If we didn't we didn't watch. But me, l watched it all and enjoyed it all. Social Media has ruined wrestlings enjoyment with all the critic's. I loved it when you said to Glenn, " have you every thought that maybe it's just you,? " Ckassic, yet true. I like your show. Your a fan. People like Glenn aren't. They just have a podcast to hopefully make some money. Keep up the good work CVV You are THE MAN. Len Sargent Gainesville, Ga.
The Disco Inferno definitely has a great mind for the business. A lot of what he says resonates with fans like myself, who left in droves back in the mid 2000's
Mid 00s…? Uhh, you mean 2001-03..? Lower mid card stiffs a la Triple Nobody & Batista being presented as faux-main eventers is what drove fans away in 2001-03. Benoit put the nail in the coffin
Disco has good insight into the industry. I like his critics most of the time. Only time I don't like his stuff is when it's obvious he isn't watching a show before he gives feedback
Until you learn how properly use quotation marks, all of your comments and questions are disqualified. And do some research on Disco, he deserves WAY more respect than he gets from some people
Education on grammar in the YT comments section automatically disqualifies you from getting pussy so you can have fun with your snide remarks, you little human shaped worm LMAO@@markciotti6522
People love to hate on Disco and guys like Vince Russo but they forget to realize is these guys were actually there backstage, or even writing during the most popular times of wrestling. We need to value their input in order to have some sort of relative success.
What an amazing conversation! Love the pushback you guys had on each other's opinions and how well you traded thoughts and ideas. In regards to raising the bar of how entertaining pro-wrestling could be, I just gotta say, I whole heartedly agree with Disco. Like you brought up a good point, Chris, on how there's just a higher demand for the flashiness since the sport has been evolving all these years. However, and this could just be me because I stopped watching wrestling in the early 2000's in favour of MMA-but I think pro-wrestling can go back to a level of realism with a lot less flash and more substance if they can wean us off the high dopamine rush of high spot after high spot. As a kid I loved the acrobatics and high risk maneuvers and wish there was more now, but as an adult getting back into wrestling, seeing SO MANY high risk maneuvers...now I see why I loved them so much as a kid. Because they felt special and not often used unless the match called for them. Now in regards to the realism aspect of it. I've watched matches from the 1950's and honestly I find those far more interesting than most matches these days. Why? Because a lot of time was spent chain wrestling and having it look like each guy was trying to vie for the best hold and position, and it took a while before there could be space and logic for bouncing off the ropes and pulling off crazy slams on each other. It was a little like this in the 90s too, but I can see the pivot happening, especially with the cruiserweights in WCW. The few good examples of realistic wrestling I can think of in modern times is basically any Gunther match since he is super old school in his approach and his moveset. And of course, a match I've watched three times now, Seth Rollins vs Sami Zayn was a good example of how just simple and effective chain wrestling made the bigger spots even more significant later in the match. Anyways thanks for having Disco Inferno on and it's a blast getting to hear what his thoughts are like on the whole business. He was one of my favourite mid-carders back in the day.
The thing about Disco is that yes he’s honest but at the same time I wish he would express and articulate his thoughts in a way that’s not snarky. To me with anything and anyone it’s all about how you come across.
Jimmy Hart wrote the song but he wasn't singing on the track. Actually the original vocalist commented on the theme song's video, and talked about in detail how she was in the studio with Jimmy and how they wanted her to sound like Donna Summers.. or one of those '70s artists.
Totally agree with him about Danielson, though. It’s pretty bizarre watching a man physically run himself into the ground like he is. Especially for such a sh*t promotion.
Disco is so right when it comes to wrestling looking like a dance. Wrestling needs to be pulled back when it comes to cirque du sole moves. Hogan throwing a punch can pop a crowd more than bucks doing 450 splashes
In the 80s maybe. Today hell now try a fake ass character like Hogan now and everyone would see straight through it. Nothing about wreslting from then is superior til now and that isn't debatable. The shit looked 10 times faker back then with all of Hogan's dumb ass faces and pandering to the crowd that would never happen in a real fight.
He’s so cocky! He’s so cool! He’s just a disco dancing foooooooool! And when he gets up, off the floor, the girls are screamin they want more more more more! Disco fever! Disco fever!
