I was a big fan of Dean Makenko and got to see Joe and him tag in Japan . I love guys who bring shooting and logic into wrestling .

Fantastic interview!!!!

[@kevthegoat8774]

Karl Gotch compared Dean Malenko to a daffodil in an interview and mentioned that he used to cry when it came to shooting, Joe backs that claim up here.

Excellent Video, Joe needs to write a book about Karl.

This was an unexpected pleasure. I’d heard of “Dean’s brother” but never got any details or stories. Nice to hear he did alright with the Plan B stuff his dad mentioned.

Word is that Joe is the more potent shooter of the two . These guys are average sized guys , maybe 5’8”? I loved that they were so skilled that despite being undersized it was easy to believe they posed a danger to heavyweights

[@pooddescrewch8718]

Patterson Stevens were a premier tag team that not many people got to see .

[@pooddescrewch8718]

Its a damned shame that Jr Heavyweight Championships did not have any cache . Jerry was one of the last Jr Heavyweight World Champion to be celebrated . Joe should have been a celebrate Jr Heavyweight / Cruiserweight in the States like his brother could have been if WCW could have recognized a good thing when they saw it .

He looks damn good for 67 years old

Wow. Where do you guys find these elusive shoots? Any chance you’ll get Wacholz (Nailz)? Talk to Nord about it

[@pooddescrewch8718]

That guy is more than a tad off

[@marcbasil]

@@pooddescrewch8718 lol no he isn’t. He’s a good dude. He was 200% the most desired, elusive shoot interview for the past 25 years, by FAR. It isn’t even remotely close. There was a bidding war over him this summer between all of the shoot channel heavyweights, ie: WSI, Hannibal, Boston Wrestling, etc etc, but he never took the bait. Finally this year he wound up signing a contract with Highspots, and he did his first official shoot in June, but you have to pay for it on their website. Total BS. There’s a brief free clip on KZbin, where he talks about first being brought in to discuss the Nailz character outline. He’s a normal, rugged, rural Minnesota guy. He sells luxury trailers & RVs, and is close with Nord, Darsow, Norton, etc, all the MINN boys. He’s quiet & keeps to himself

Joe Malenko! Awesome

[@dennismarie6599]

You should of asked him if he has heat with the ICP like Dean does for them naming there 1997 album The Great Malenko

[@robertabishola1895]

🙏 Thoughts and Prayers going out to Dean.

[@pooddescrewch8718]

Buddy Rogers was hugely unprofessional . He only cared about getting himself over abd he would do that by hurting a lot of guys . Another thing is that when he came into a territory he brought an entourage of wrestlers with him that had to be out over . It pissed a lit of the guys off
