Guest Username Report post Posted November 12, 2003 can anyone tell me what happened to Dean Malenko? i was a big Malenko fan when he was in wCw but i wasn't following wrestling during the time that he was in the WWE. i know he still works for the WWE as a road agent but why did he retire from the ring? was it a serious injury or did he just lose interest? also, how was his WWE run? i'm assuming they didn't use him very well because of his size. is he in any condition to get back into the ring? he probably wouldn't, but that would be nice to see him come back for a match or two. the texas cloverleaf is one of my all time favorite moves.

bob_barron 0 Report post Posted November 12, 2003 I think he retired just because he was in his 40s and wanted to retire on his volition. That's just speculation though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SamoaRowe 0 Report post Posted November 12, 2003 The womanizing gimmick worked well for him, it's just a shame that they never let him run with it. Remember when he was wrestling Jerry Lawler just so he could have sex with Terri? That was sort of funny. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just John 0 Report post Posted November 13, 2003 Dean Malenko might just be the most underrated wrestler ever. The highlight of his WWF career was April-May 2000. Great singles match with Scotty at Backlash and a good 3-way at Judgement Day with Guerrero and Saturn. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest JMA Report post Posted November 13, 2003 The Radicals were probably one of the grestest workrate stables ever. You had Benoit, Guerrero, Malenko, and Saturn. It's too bad they were turned into lackeys of Triple H... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kaertos 0 Report post Posted November 13, 2003 I went to an HWA show right after Dean retired. He was there RAing for a few of the WWE guys who were working off some ring rust after injury. It was great. Before, during and after the show, he kept poking his head out of the curtain to see what was happening. Someone would see him and let out a yell, that would lead to a huge pop, that would lead to him smiling, blushing and ducking back behind the curtain. Good times...

Yeah, well who slept on the way back?...well, all of us but the driver I guess. I liked his gimmick where he was trying to nail Lita every week. I'd like to see him back on tv somehow Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
