Disco Inferno

Glenn Gilbertti (born November 12, 1967) is an American professional wrestler, best known for his appearances with World Championship Wrestling (WCW) as Disco Inferno (briefly changed to Disqo) from 1995 to 2001.

During his six-year tenure with WCW, Gilbertti became a one-time Cruiserweight Champion, a two-time Television Champion and a one-time Tag Team Champion with Alex Wright.

He is considered one of the more novel mid-card WCW wrestlers of the late 1990s.

After WCW, he worked for Total Nonstop Action Wrestling and World Wrestling All-Stars.

Gilbertti started wrestling in 1991 wrestling his first match on November 20, 1991.

He wrestled on the Georgia independent circuit, where he was best known for his time with Great Championship Wrestling (GCW) where he won several titles.

He also had a short stint with the United States Wrestling Association (USWA) in 1993.

Gilbertti made his name in World Championship Wrestling (WCW) as Disco Inferno, named after The Trammps' song and inspired by John Travolta's character Tony Manero in Saturday Night Fever.

Gilbertti credits Raven for the birth of the "Disco Inferno" character.

He annoyed the audience with his disco dancer character, which included dancing on the way to the ring and during his matches, the punchline being that fans would chant "Disco sucks!".

Gilbertti signed a contract with WCW in 1995 and debuted later that same year.

He gradually rose to mid-card status as a tweener, with his gimmick being that he would forget how to apply his finishing hold, a standing figure four leglock.

Often, he would bring a cheat sheet with a diagram on how to apply the hold to the ring.

He mostly competed in the WCW's shows Saturday Night, Main Event and WorldWide that mainly featured mid-card wrestlers.

Inferno wrestled on many editions of Main Event before pay-per-view events against superstars such as Joey Maggs and Eddie Guerrero.

He also competed on January 23, 1996 Clash of the Champions XXXII in a losing effort to Kevin Sullivan.

Inferno made his pay-per-view debut at Slamboree 1996: Lord of the Ring in a tag team contest where he teamed up with Alex Wright against Dick Slater and Earl Robert Eaton.

Disco started making a push in the cruiserweight division by the mid-1996.

He began a feud with Cruiserweight Champion Dean Malenko and unsuccessfully challenged him for the title at Bash at the Beach.

At World War 3, he participated in the three ring, 60 man battle royal with the winner receiving a shot at the World Heavyweight Championship.

Inferno was injured in early 1997 and he took some time off before returning in September.

His injury was mentioned after Disco refused to lose to Jacqueline because she was a woman.

Disco then feuded with Alex Wright, who began dancing before his entrance to mock Disco.

Disco was booked to win the WCW World Television Championship from Wright on September 22 edition of Monday Nitro.

Disco lost to Jacqueline at Halloween Havoc.

He engaged in a feud with Perry Saturn after losing the Television title to Saturn on November 3 episode of Nitro.

Disco lost to Saturn in a rematch at World War 3, before regaining the title from Saturn in a rematch on the December 8 episode of Nitro.

Four weeks later, he dropped the title to Booker T.

After having two reigns as Television Champion, Disco once again became an enhancement talent and a mid-carder in the cruiserweight division.

He defeated La Parka at SuperBrawl VIII.

He patched up things with former rival Alex Wright, thus turning into a villain in the process and the duo formed a tag team of dancers known as Dancing Fools.

The team was used for comedy relief and often danced before their entrance.

They were also joined by fellow dancer Tokyo Magnum.

At Bash at the Beach, Inferno lost a match to Konnan.

Inferno and Wright feuded with teams such as The Public Enemy (Johnny Grunge and Rocco Rock), and The British Bulldog and Jim Neidhart.

After not getting any success, Inferno and Wright split and began focusing on their singles careers again.

Inferno started a feud with Juventud Guerrera and defeated him at Halloween Havoc to become the number one contender to the Cruiserweight Championship.

He earned his title shot later that night against champion Billy Kidman but lost the match.

At World War 3, he participated in the three ring, 60-man battle royal with the winner getting a shot at the World Heavyweight Championship at Starrcade, but the battle royal was won by Kevin Nash.

Later at Starrcade, Disco along with Bam Bam Bigelow and Scott Hall assisted Nash in ending Goldberg's 173 match winning streak in the main event of Starrcade.
