Let's Boogie! A look back at Disco Inferno, one of professional wrestling's underrated stars.

Disco Inferno debuted with WCW in 1995 primarily as a jobber and low card wrestler.  He would dance to the ring and in the ring and during matches wearing obnoxious bell bottom tights.  He'd often forget how to apply his submission finisher and carried a cheat-sheet with him.  So how was this guy underrated?  It's simple.  Glenn "Disco Inferno" Gilbertti was a technically sound, comedically talented wrestler who took a character many other people would have ran away from and carried it to a respectable level of mid-card success whiuch included multiple singles championships.

Disco Inferno's push towards mid-card status began in 1996.  He won the WCW Television Title September 22 on Monday Nitro and began a program with Perry Saturn.  Disco lost the title to Saturn on November 3 only to regain it December 8.   His second and final Television Title reign came to an end 4 week later at the hands of Booker T.  From this point on, Disco Inferno was primarily used for comedic roles only.

During the next three years, Disco formed, and dissolved, a tag team with Alex Wright - The Dancing Fools and later as Boogie Knights.  He also became an associate member of nWo Wolfpac leading to breif mid-card feuds with Konnan and Buff Bagwell.  Disco was also aligned with the Mamalukes as the group's "enforcer" and later was aligned with the Filthy Animals which influenced his brief name change to Disqo.

When WWE purchased WCW in 2001, they declined to purchase Disco Inferno's contract which led to a stint with World Wrestling All-Stars where he worked as a jobber and heel commentator. 

Disco Inferno wrestled briefly in TNA under his real name with a silly gimmick of his name always being spelled wrong.  He also served as the company's road agent from 2007-08.  In 2009 he left the wrestling business to become the host at Sapphire Gentlemen's Club in Las Vegas.

Despite the ridiculous gimmick and even more ridiculous hair and wrestling attire, Disco Inferno remains one of the underrated stars of professional wrestling.  Gilbertti was technically sound in the ring and had a knack for silly comedic antics.  He accepted a character which would likely have been undesirable for many others in the business and ran...uh, danced with it to a moderate level of success.  Disco Inferno may have just been a dancing fool for WCW but he did it 100% full speed ahead no matter what he was asked to do.  He never mailed it in or half-assed it and that right there is what he deserves the most credit for.
