Shane Douglas on Dean Malenko

[@Tkachance0970]

My Dad has the shakes. He opted to not have that surgery because of his age. It’s technically not Parkinson’s. It has a medical name but they just called it benign tremors.

Dean and Chris came in to my club in Ocean City Maryland, back in probably the early 2000s, maybe up to 2010 somewhere. The funny thing is, I was talking to both of them, and we were laughing and having a hell of a time, and I didn’t even know it was them. When when I woke up in the morning, I realized who it was. And I’m glad I didn’t. Because I’m sure that they are happy to talk to people who don’t bring up Wrestling. When they are out just trying to enjoy themselves. Regardless, they both were very nice. It was actually Dean who started talking to me. I was doing a show that night, and Chris asked me to sing Renegade by Styx for him. definitely a night I’ll never forget. Because we laughed so much about stupid stuff and it was just three guys hanging out, having a beer and enjoying life. A shout out to Dean. I hope your surgery brings you relief and you keep smiling and being the person you are. A toast to a happy 2024 for you and your family. Thank you for that night.

That's a heck of a hallucination!

Michael J. Fox has had a similar brain surgery. But is the Parkinson's related to CTE or just bad luck?

[@VeronikaGama]

Both

I think that Dean Malenko retired too early.

[@handsolo1209]

From in the ring? Maybe, but I am not sure if places like ROH existed when he quit. He was not going to make it in WWF, and he had just quit WCW.

[@dougmeyers]

I know Hacksaw Jim Duggan can’t stand Dean

[@tmage23]

A lot of wrestlers don''t like Dean. He's rubbed a lot of people the wrong way as a producer

[@Fnoel98356]

Road Warrior Animal wasn't too fond of Dean Malenko either. According to him, Dean Malenko let the power of being an agent go to his head.

[@brianbradley8631]

Stevie Richards claimed that Dean Malenko bullied him in ECW...

[@shooter86-uw8ce]

​@brianbradley8631 didn't everybody bully Stevie in ECW?

[@ratedr8490]

If hacksaw doesn't like you.... then you are an jerk.

[@irishscott1]

So many wrestlers have stated what an asshole he is, especially when he was an agent.

[@Barbarianbrotha]

Yeah...Even Maven kinda buried him, and he hardly has bad word to say about anyone. So you know he had be a complete ass.

[@Scorch1028]

Kevin Nash and Tom Prichard both liked Dean Malenko’s dry sense of humor.

[@handsolo1209]

@@Scorch1028 His best joke ever was when he quit WCW because he thought he was being held back!

[@handsolo1209]

A lot of charisma vacuum "great workers" have a real chip on their shoulders because guys who "never paid their dues" get over while they suck. If it wasn't for WCW hiring just about anybody to their 100 man roster in the mid 1990s, would anyone even know who he was?

[@Mistertbones]

@@handsolo1209 That's the problem with Dean. Great worker but has less charisma than stale bread.
