The thing with Disco Inferno is that whilst he was a mid card type of guy, he is an iconic character at WCW over an extended period. He had a very strong identity, a lot of memorable story lines, he won a few titles, had matches with Flair, Hall, Goldberg etc... was seemingly well liked, made it to the booking department, never got seriously injured... made money, seems to have managed it quite well, has his own business. He’s doing a lot better then many more successful wrestlers and stars. I reckon that’s why so many wrestlers rubbish him so much... he’s done so well with less. Clearly a very smart and talented guy. Always been my WCW favourite

Alot of WCW guys left the business when WCW died. They got out with their bodies intact, some good money coming from their contracts paying out while they were at home, etc etc. Alot of WWE guys only left because they got hurt or so fucked up on drugs they ruined their career.

Very true, like a lot of the WWE guys are very angry and feel fucked over. Like I can easily name 20 guys that feel fucked over by the WWE creatively, feel like they weren't given a fair shot, weren't used to their full potential, miserable, etc. In a lot of ways the WCW wasn't as bad as people make it out to be.
