Alex Wright on What Dean Malenko Was Like Behind the Scenes

[@jeffjackson9679]

Jericho's feuds with Malenko were great. Always calling him Stinko-Malenko and his Dad Bore-us.

[@ShellyMartinezChannel]

I LOVE Dean. I think of him often.

[@ReginaldForman]

@Golf club i love you too

[@thadevilzadvocate]

Dean is my cousin.

[@mrcold8966]

Kevin Nash said Dean Male no was witty as he'll and really funny and if they let him talk he would have surprised slot of people

[@danthemeatman9883]

I remember his Dad Boris maxamonalovitch Malenko in Tampa Bay Area Florida back in the early 70s , Great Wrestler !!!!!!!!! Funny as hell too !🤣♥️🙏

[@someparts]

He ordered a "Vanilla Midget" for me....

[@oveidasinclair982]

I heard that Eddie was a character, first I heard about Dean Malenko being one too, nothing like fucking around with the new guy.

[@lexbeltran1354]

I liked his promo he did with Lita in the WWE😀

[@BrianTKessler]

I went with a friend, a former indie worker who wrestled as Cole Callaway, on a Chris Jericho cruise. We both purchased unlimited drink packages and ordered every mixed drink we could think of. One morning Cole asked for a suggestion and I asked him if he ever heard of a Shirley Temple. He hadn't so of course I told him to order two and if he double-fisted them he'd get wasted. So he asks the bartender to make two Shirley Temples and the bartender gives him a weird look, then searches for a bottle of grenadine that was clearly not being used amongst a cruise full of hardcore drinkers. If that wasn't enough Chavo Guerrero of all people walks by and Cole asks for a picture. Chavo was really nice and down to earth, poses for the picture with Cole, and Cole raises a Shirley Temple to the camera." Then another fan walks by and asks Cole "Hey, what are you drinking?" Cole responds with "Uh, a Shirley Temple I think it's called?" The fan pauses for a moment, then awkwardly replies "Oh, the non-alcoholic drink? That's, uh, cool." I just about died from tears of laughter.

good morning James.

[@Gary828]

Dean should have went to WWF/E with the stable of other neglected WCW guys; he could have become a star over there like they did. could see a good rivalry between Dean and Kurt Angle and put on some clinic matches.

[@jmiyagi12345]

He did go over with The Radicalz. And while the match would have been good, he was never at Kurt's level.

[@grammysworld5449]

He did.. WWE chose to use him and his guys (mainly Benoit) to help HHH keep the title..They hated Dean man.. They had Lita kicking his ass

[@relaxandgetoverit8393]

You idiot 🤦‍♂️

[@AnOldEnglishBloke]

Dean, Chris, Eddie and Perry. The Radicals.

[@sean9115]

Never liked his character thought the berlin was something but they messed it up. Seems to a good guy!

[@petesmart1983]

Malelenko was amazing Wrestler, just he lacked any character but he made anyone look good who he faced

[@dominicrossitto5890]

I don't believe he lacked character. He just had a different personality. I actually PREFERRED his "quiet and serious" demeanor. Almost everyone else was talking TOO MUCH. Nothing made them stand out because so many fell into the trap of "just talk, talk, talk," and not a whole lot was being said in their promos. That is just me, but "sometimes less is more" is definitely the truth.

[@justint8635]

2:03 sounds more like sabotage than a rib

[@john5mac]

Malenko used to remind me of bruce willis

[@bink]

Alex must be a real lightweight if he got tipsy off of orange juice and ginger ale

[@sssembler]

Think it was a sugar high

[@skippythealien9627]

@@sssembler he might have also been lying not to look disrespectful or full of himself lmao

[@someparts]

Did he say G string? Uhhh

[@antione]

Keeps their balls from falling out of their trunks. You think they just stay in their trunks using magic?

[@theHogSpawnBerserker]

Lots of wrestlers wore thongs and g strings to hide the seams in there trunks. I'm pretty sure shawn michaels did.

[@someparts]

Diabetes is hilarious.

[@leestens419]

Good lord he aged terribly

[@NickPR87]

Are you visually impaired, sir?

[@DevAngelo]

He aged fine... It's that he had a further gap from where he was to looking like normal guy.

[@childsnifferbiden9596]

You need to book an appointment with your local optometrist 👓

[@TheBeatdownBros]

Looks good

[@petesmart1983]

He still looks pretty young
