10 Terrible Wrestlers With One Incredible Match
1. Disco Inferno (Vs Dean Malenko, WCW Bash At The Beach 1996)
Disco Inferno occupies a strange space in the modern wrestling universe, though the mere fact he remains in any conversations might be as much to do with his failure to dominate them at his peak.
A legendary Cody Rhodes Twitter burial of the former WCW regular stuck so deeply in his craw that he pivoted towards the position of AEW troll-for-hire when the company formed in 2019. The meat of Rhodes' remarks about the "juiced up double-lifer" was that nothing he ever did left an impression on folk as they left the building.
This banger with Dean Malenko should have been the rule-proving exception, but in a darkly amusing twist, it couldn't be. As good as their minor classic was, they never stood a chance of being part of the car park discourse as fans filed out. The Cruiserweight Championship bout filled the undercard of Bash At The Beach 1996 - a show rightfully remembered for Hulk Hogan's iconic heel turn and little else.
Cody's causticity was on point after all, though Inferno can at least point to one night where he didn't "hide in plain sight".
