strummer Posted October 16, 2006 Report Posted October 16, 2006 Meltzer: Joseph "Joey Maggs" Magliano, a long-time WCW wrestler in the 90s, passed away earlier today. No other details are available.
Just John Posted October 16, 2006 Report Posted October 16, 2006 He was one of my favorite WCW SN jobbers. I think my favorite match was when he teamed up with Scott D'amore and Lenny Lane to take on The Giant in a handicap match on Nitro.
snuffbox Posted October 16, 2006 Report Posted October 16, 2006 Here's a guy that's kinda interesting. He was on almost every program for WCW from like 1990-1998 or so, hundreds of matches...he jobbed in almost every one of them but he had just as much television time as most main eventers. Anyway, RIP, condolences, etc.
Guest TheGreatWesuke Posted October 16, 2006 Report Posted October 16, 2006 I remember him more-so jobbing in the WWF late 80's. Being the jobber mark that I am, I totally marked out when he showed up in WCW. RIP
Slayer Posted October 16, 2006 Report Posted October 16, 2006 Was he the one with the neon-hands on his ass?
Hasbeen1 Posted October 16, 2006 Report Posted October 16, 2006 Sad. He was only around 35 years old, I'm thinking. He got to show more of his ability in Smoky Mountain and in Memphis than on WCW. Good talented wrestler, came along before the smaller guys really got much attention.
MillenniumMan831 Posted October 17, 2006 Report Posted October 17, 2006 He was definitely always a fun jobber to watch. Gave the aura that although you knew who would win, at least the match would be entertaining. I did mark out when I saw him defect to the WWF only to go back to WCW. RIP.
razazteca Posted October 17, 2006 Report Posted October 17, 2006 Wasn't he tag champion with Bagwell or the Patriot?
yankovic fan Posted October 17, 2006 Report Posted October 17, 2006 I met him in 1991. Really nice guy. I have an autographed photo of him. rip
Guest NES Fanatic Posted October 17, 2006 Report Posted October 17, 2006 I enjoyed watching Joey Maggs in the WCW rings as he was talented at what he did. Thank you for the memories.
Bruce Blank Posted October 17, 2006 Report Posted October 17, 2006 Wasn't he tag champion with Bagwell or the Patriot?Bagwell teamed with the Partiot to win the tag titles, Bagwell & Scorpio also won the tag titles Maybe you're thinking of Scotty Riggs of the American Males?
razazteca Posted October 18, 2006 Report Posted October 18, 2006 Not even a US tag title reign under a different name or something?
Dobbs 3K Posted October 18, 2006 Report Posted October 18, 2006 No, Maggs never really got pushed in WCW. He was pretty much exclusively enhancement talent. I'm sure he had a few televised wins, but they were few and far between.
Masked Man of Mystery Posted October 18, 2006 Report Posted October 18, 2006 Has there been any word on how he died yet?
Jericholic82 Posted October 19, 2006 Report Posted October 19, 2006 I remembe rwhen Teddy Long started to manage him in WCW in like 1996 along with Sgt Craig Pittman. Long was starting to build a babyface stable of jobbers
