The gently caress? That was classic La Parka dancing and being the chairman of WCW. Nothing disco about that dancing.

Glen Gilberti being a trash human aside. The lower card comedy character of a guy in the 90s/2000s who disco dances badly and thinks he is cool was funny to little kid me. I also liked how he was trying to join the Wolfpack, but only got condescension and disrespect from Hall and Nash. I have bad wrestling opinions.

I remember during the retro reviews Bryan would talk about how Disco was often a very serious, popular wrestler. Not like a star but gently caress, everybody who watched WCW back then remembers Disco Inferno so that says something. Also dancing wrestlers is always gonna get over. Too Cool, Fandango, probably others I'm unaware of.

WWE has never had anything as cool as that happen and it’s kind of sad that they can claim they did since they bought WCW

I don't remember why Gilberti was a lovely person; I guess he was a dick when he was a road agent for TNA? I remember he wrote a couple essays about the business that I enjoyed. He was a fun lowcard comedy character in WCW, though there were times he overstayed his welcome. I thought he played off Alex Wright and Norman Smiley very well.

He's notorious for complaining about people with far more talent than him not knowing how to work, and goes on endlessly about drawing money despite never having drawn any himself. He's a leech and Cody absolutely put him in his place on twitter a few years ago.

He got arrested for running poker games in his basement, which only could have happened by royally pissing off someone who was participating, and ratted him out.

Day of the Warrior, the Skinemax movie with Buff Bagwell is on Tubi if anyone hasn't watched it. The Disco gambling ring story is way weirder than just a home game. They were arranging $10,000 deposits online to get into the game and cocaine was found during the bust but somehow everyone had their charges dropped.

Last thing I heard, Buff was a call boy, catering to the Buff Daddy equivalent of the Kevin Nash fan club. I doubt he is on anybody's radar who'd think they could wring money out of him.

That script anecdote reminds me of the time Vince and Hogan locked themselves in a hotel room for 72 hours with a typewriter and a wheelbarrow full of cocaine and completely rewrote the script for "No Holds Barred".

I choose to believe this story is true despite that Hogan book being nothing but lies. The idea of a coked out Hogan sitting on the toilet suddenly coming up with ideas for fight scenes is just too good for me

The main thing I remember about NHB is that the hero and the villains' finishers didn't even make sense from a wrestling standpoint. Like, one of them was a running double axe handle to the forehead, which only works if you instantly stop in your tracks while your opponent sells it.

The best thing about No Holds Barred is the main bad guy, (who I always think was in LA Law), calls people "Jock-rear end"

A question popped in my head this thread could probably answer. Whatever happened to Lex Luger after WCW closed up? I know he had various demons, the tragic situation with Liz, the eventual injury, and now working with WWE but it seemed like he just never showed up anywhere high profile again. Most of the '00s is a blank spot of wrestling for me.

Which also implies his character survived I think getting electrocuted.

Which is a shame since "Package" was a small highlight of the abyss of despair and poo poo thAt ws 2000 WCW. Luger is a great character.
