Watching this best of clash of the champions on netflix

At 1 point besides the sharpshooter and the f4, the texas cloverleaf would get them pops popping, whenever he had one of them matches with a rey or a ultimo or jericho or benoit, people was always into it

maybe its because fans used to be more hype though, but dean did used to get over with like no real push besides the jericho thing.

You have to remember, WCW was very Southern-based in it's company. If you took away the NWO shyt, you have basically wrestling purists dream; wrestling with limited focus on your gimmick. Even though Cruiserweight wrestling was new, it still appealed to WCW because it was wrestling, albeit a new different form. It would be the same way if TNA was the same without Hogan/Dixery right now, when it first started.

He got one of the biggest pops at Slamboree 98 when he unmasked himself during the cruiserweight battle royal. On the real though, Malenko looked pretty funny fighting Jericho in that outfit. :pachaha:

Didn't Dean Malenko invent the Jackhammer and teach it to Goldberg?

Technical ass dude in the ring. Those fukking brainbusters and tiger drivers were pretty as hell.



that hammerlock suplex looks like it hurts, look at the way reys arm was placed
