Posted May 8May 8 comment_6029815 Alex Wright vs Disco Inferno - WCW Nitro 6/25/95 The Battle of the Dancing Fools! Two of young Marty Sleeze’s favorites! Loved both these guys wish they had a run as tag champs! I still busy out the Alex Wright dance from time to time at weddings! Although Wright has the techno music, he is not yet dancing! It is a very prescient match. While I liked Disco as a kid I think this is one I probably got wrong back then but I got a soft spot for him. Disco seems to be presented as the star they are debuting but the commentators point out he may be too worried about his hair or his dance moves. Besides what looked like a botched belly to belly that turned into a very dangerous hot shot, Disco really didn’t have much. He is also not be very good at dancing but that might be part of the gimmick but he was also not so bad it was entertaining or unique. Wright both here and in the Sabu match showed he had something. Two great dropkicks one springboard style, the other a standing dropkick to Disco on the top rope. The craziest Wright spot is over the top rope suicide dive to the floor that looks so much better than 90% of the middle rope ones today. Disco goes for a neckbreaker bur Wright counters to the backslide win. I guess this pushes the Disco is distracted narrative which is always a strange thing for wrestling companies to promote. An alright match but nothing special.
