+Glenn Dallas YES...FINALLY I hear Truth about Sir Lance!!...LOL......If I myself could be serious for a moment, I ALWAYS thought Lance Storm was a great worker and judging from other wrestlers opinions of him in their respective autobiographies it's quite clear Storm was and always will be one of the good guys in the squared circle and in the back locker rooms! Cheers Glenn
+John Wagner I could see it for real in the early 90s WWF or WCW. As for who would play him, probably Kevin Nash or Terry Taylor (depending on if you wanted a big guy or a worker, both were magnets for terrible gimmicks though)
WWE fan here I liked Disco Inferno.Back in the 90s around 1996 to 1998 when Id get bored with Raw Id switch to Nitro and one of the things I remember was Disco's music- good change of pace.
I remember Disco pushing a lot of these ideas on the WCW Live audio show back in the day. The Invisible Wrestler, Mike Tenay is a Martian, and Babbar the Elephant Boy were his huge ideas.
I just about cried laughing at Doug Hole and Artie Fact. I actually think there's something to be said for having terrible gimmicks for the jobbers. I always feel like a jobber is supposed to be there to be memorable and make the guy with a legitimate gimmick look good. Some of these suggestions though....good god. Chris Benoit and Lance Storm the martians....
***** people used to think it was real why do you think people would risk going to jail to try to hit a heel? i don't think they just wanted to go to jail.
Right? God forbid we should want wrestling to be wrestling and not some goofy jack off fest with dopey sketch characters diving out of the ring. I have more taste in my penis than people who enjoy garbage like this.
How are any of these worse than Max Moon, Phantasmo, Bastian Booger or Mantar Plus the fact if you get the right guy the silly gimmick can catch on. On paper 'Wild West Mortician' sounds pretty silly, but Mark Calloway has been making it work for the best part of three decades.
I have heard stories that Disco Inferno had some bizarre creative ideas for booking wrestling but didn't really believe it until I saw this clip. Definitely he shouldn't be turned loose in any wrestling promotion's creative department
As some comedy midcard angles, some of these ideas really wouldn't be half bad. Sure... Bill Ding wouldn't be world champ & the Jew Tang Clan wouldn't be legends on the level of LOD, but it would sure as hell have been interesting to watch.
+TheShadowBrigade And that's what I think a lot of these keyboard marks are missing. If wrestling shares most, if not nearly all of it's roots to theatre, whether the fans like it or not, comedy can be a great buffer between the opening matches where the greats of tomorrow make their debut and the main event you paid to see. The key is, most people don't have the humility anymore to 'know their role' and do it. Some wrestlers never SHOULD have been tracked to be belt holders because that's not where they were best served. And vice versa, some wrestlers should NEVER try to do comedy. EVER. Disco could have been one of the best promoters ever in a promotion that wants to have FUN.
TheShadowBrigade I immediately thought Chikara as well as a place where he would shine, especially with their lineup of talent that is built like him, works in similar ways. I think he'd help a fed like that take another step forward without losing their identity as a fun fed.
After seeing this, not only do I not want him anywhere near booking, I'm not sure I want him anywhere near books. Of any kind.. Might inspire more bad-pun themed wrestlers with a shelf life of 2 weeks tops. Bill Ding? Balls and Johnsons? Arty Fact and Doug Hole? These are Isaac Yankem and T.L. Hopper all over again.
People give Glen a lot of shit i like him and another thing no one ever mentions he's kept himself in great shape he's moved on with his life he has a new career he's not a drug addict or a loser ok he had that poker thing but you never hear him in trouble he was a gimmick but he was over he's smarter than people give him credit he saved his money and never took unnecessary risks in the ring.
this guy actually thought a "martian invasion of WCW" would save the company. i rest my case for why he should be locked in a porta-john and set on fire.
Glenn has no one told you there's a reason some things haven't been done in wrestling, just because it's something that's never been seen on wrestling doesn't mean it's a good idea to put it on a wrestling show. he seems like a nice guy but he'd never book a house show if I had a wrestling promotion.
fmdof DDT is some of the funniest crap I've seen. not the best wrestling per se, but you can't say they aren't unique. however I haven't heard much of them lately
And by the way, it's booking "committee". Not booker, by himself. I'd pair him with someone who understood how to create tension and release on a card through booking (Someone like Ricky Steamboat comes to mind, matter of fact.) and was a little more serious about the dramatic side of wrestling and let them two of them go towards the goal of a total package. Humor, drama, blood, sweat, tears AND laughs. Why can't you have it all on a card? THOSE are the shows, those are the ECW shows I remember the most. Disco might have been ahead of his time but not paired with the right anchoring balance as a booker.
+Nathan Justice This is the thing: "Attitude" era stuff, IMO, shouldn't sell anymore because attitude is the name of the culture now. Attitude worked when the culture was shifting. I'm ready to see some goofy shit, to be honest. But only if it's INTENTIONALLY goofy, not goofy by accident like most of the shit on Raw currently.
To be fair, Lance Storm's "If I can be serious for a moment..." was freaking gold. I LOVED that multi-title run of his.
+Glenn Dallas YES...FINALLY I hear Truth about Sir Lance!!...LOL......If I myself could be serious for a moment, I ALWAYS thought Lance Storm was a great worker and judging from other wrestlers opinions of him in their respective autobiographies it's quite clear Storm was and always will be one of the good guys in the squared circle and in the back locker rooms! Cheers Glenn
I feel like they could have just done something amazing with that.
Bill Ding is amazing. He could easily lay the foundations for a US-Title run
I'm still just amazed at how he still looks the same after all these years
Right?! Dude hasn't aged in 20 years! That gimmick started in 95 or 96. He's an idiot as far as booking goes, but an entertaining idiot lol
Its probably a result of drugs and the fact that he never married.
Bill Ding the evil architect is a license to print money
+crassyfrake I wonder if he designed Suplex City.
+crassyfrake That would be a great gimmick. I wonder who they would get to portray him?
+John Wagner I could see it for real in the early 90s WWF or WCW. As for who would play him, probably Kevin Nash or Terry Taylor (depending on if you wanted a big guy or a worker, both were magnets for terrible gimmicks though)
crassyfrake Maybe. I mean, it's a far fetched gimmick.
+crassyfrake Bill Ding would've definitely be a gimmick that would have been slapped onto Glen Jacobs.
This guy is the Ed Wood of wrestling
Somewhere there is a portrait of him in an attic getting older. He looks exactly the same.
+MemphoWrasslin1 or babies
Disco may not have had an entertaining match but he got over and served his job as enhancement talent.
He was a terrible booker, however.
Yehuda Finkelstein he got over?
Saul Goode Guitars yes he got over the fans always popped for disco
I would watch these stories over and over and over....
I lost it at Benoit and Lance Storm being martians XD
You think Artie Fact would ever get buried?
+Maître Renard NICE!
+Maître Renard Yeah. By Doug Hole ;)
@@jww112093 you guys are the best. Rusty Hammer will put the final nail in the coffin
@@buffbenjones6137 And who would then bury Van Hammer?
Earthquake ;)
I remember him getting a little over using the Stone Cold Stunner as a finisher in ‘97
WWE fan here I liked Disco Inferno.Back in the 90s around 1996 to 1998 when Id get bored with Raw Id switch to Nitro and one of the things I remember was Disco's music- good change of pace.
That shirt looks like something my grandma would wear to applebees
Glenn learnt everything he knows about creative from Vince Russo. Enough said.
I remember Disco pushing a lot of these ideas on the WCW Live audio show back in the day. The Invisible Wrestler, Mike Tenay is a Martian, and Babbar the Elephant Boy were his huge ideas.
Long live Disco!
I love how he acknowledges how bad these ideas are, it's hilarious.
Disco and Juvie. The Fountain of Youth Juice!
have u heard his podcast?

Doug, Artie & Bill Ding Would Make Quite an Interesting 6-Man Tag Team Combo
wcw in the end:
you know what FUCK IT give disco the book what's the worst that could happen?? (miss it though lol)
This looks fun. Can't wait to watch.
BILL DING!
+Kovnyc LOL!!!!
Wrestling soup... Awesome
I went to an indy show and someone wrestled as Bill Ding.
Art E. Fact. lol
+nywcrules Love it if there was a wrestler called 'Doug Hole'.
Wow, these are ideas that would make Vince Russo jealous for not coming up with them.
Didn't Cornette warn you not to let him get close to the books?
+Drew Davies yep, "shoot this man in the head if he gets anywhere near a booking comitee" :D
+Lou Spowels And he LIKES him LOL
Jim Cornette likes him as a person but his booking ideas are ridiculous.
***** how is this a rib? Cornette won't see it and I doubt he cares in anyway so it's not really a rib on him dumbass.
***** people used to think it was real why do you think people would risk going to jail to try to hit a heel? i don't think they just wanted to go to jail.
You could use these ideas to book the American division of DDT Pro Wrestling.
I laughed at "Jew Tang Clan"
He'll go down in history as one of the two guys WWF couldn't afford after the take over.....along with Das Wunderkind! Best of all time!
still got his entrance theme song in my head!! yea,yea,yea,yea,!!!
have u heard his podcast?
does this guy get old? he looks like i remember him 16 yrs ago
For a guy with crazy "fun" goofy ideas, he sure seemed to have a serious problem losing a match to a woman. Who's a mark for themselves?
Disco needs to book for Kaiju Big Battel or Dramatic Dream Team. His ideas would work so well there.
if u hear him on mlw. then u already know what he's gonna say.
Glenn Gilbertti= John Travolta meets George McFly.
They should rebook him as either Bo Ring or Stu Pid , get it Glenn? It's funny!
So ready for the butthurt over someone actually trying to have fun with wrestling. Popcorn time.
lol

My god how that guy stayed on any booking team is crazy. Now I understand all the hate towards him !
I have heard stories that Disco Inferno had some bizarre creative ideas for booking wrestling but didn't really believe it until I saw this clip. Definitely he shouldn't be turned loose in any wrestling promotion's creative department
Entertaining preview and all, but was Terry Taylor well dressed?
He knows himself how ridiculous and pathetic his ideas are because he's laughing along in embarrassment.
As some comedy midcard angles, some of these ideas really wouldn't be half bad. Sure... Bill Ding wouldn't be world champ & the Jew Tang Clan wouldn't be legends on the level of LOD, but it would sure as hell have been interesting to watch.

--------- 2:31Have FUN laugh all day 2:50Never BEEN DONE!
JU TANG CLAN AIN'T NOTHING TO MESS WITH
This sounds hilarious
If you see wrestling and entertainment as two separate categories then why get into the wrestling industry?
Disco Inferno is a genius and has a great mind for the business.
Disco Inferno has to be the biggest idiot to ever sit on a booking committee. All Entertainment, no sports. This is why Pro Wrestling is dying.
Yehuda Finkelstein Very Disrespectful Disco is Top Talent.
So did Disco come up with the Librarians for AEW?
It's like that promotion in Argentina in the early 70's!
After seeing this, not only do I not want him anywhere near booking, I'm not sure I want him anywhere near books. Of any kind..

Bill Ding The Evil Architech is a goldmine. Lol measuring the ring and drawling up plans.
Why are you playing the intro to Peter Gabriel's Intruder?
Doug Hole and Artie Fact?
LMAO
He makes russo seem tame
I went to Sapphire's Gents club in Vegas and who do I see as the host/door person? Discoo!!!!
Wasn't "Measuring the Ring" Part of the Men at Work (Kanyon & Mark Starr) Gimmick?
Glen is money ! I love him
THAT'S the cheesy part?!? LMAO
Priceless.
Sounds like Fozzie o_o
...I can't unhear that.
Why didn't Glenn Gilberti get a Ray Romano gimmick?
Or Kermit the Frog
People give Glen a lot of shit i like him and another thing no one ever mentions he's kept himself in great shape he's moved on with his life he has a new career he's not a drug addict or a loser ok he had that poker thing but you never hear him in trouble he was a gimmick but he was over he's smarter than people give him credit he saved his money and never took unnecessary risks in the ring.
The Johnson's With Balls.
It's my boy!
WWE, hire him.
Sith Russo's apprentice Darth Inferno
"Doug Hole"?
This is some Jim Heard- level bulls*** booking.
This mark
This is the most hilarious shit
this guy actually thought a "martian invasion of WCW" would save the company. i rest my case for why he should be locked in a porta-john and set on fire.
Cocaine is a helluva drug.

Nice build on Disco.
he's not aged much
Disco still got the moves:D
Good lord, he makes Vince Russo look like Paul Heyman
He made Russo look .... Good *shutters* I'm surprised tna hasn't called him
you say that while heyman and russo were both hot shot bookers, with no way to follow up their ideas..
didn't DDT wrestling out of Japan have an invisible wrestler?
fmdof yes it had
fmdof DDT is some of the funniest crap I've seen. not the best wrestling per se, but you can't say they aren't unique. however I haven't heard much of them lately
I feel like this is what Kevin Arnold from the wonder years really looks like now.
This guy was never over... the fact they gave him ANY sort of booking power is absolutely insane. What a jabroni.
Jim Cornette is fading just by watching this trailer
These two sound like there having more fun than should be legal .
Martians? Ducks? Invisible Men? Mike Tenay? Let's do it!
I couldn't sit through 5 mins!!!!!
They should make Bill Ding and Isaac Yankem a tag-team.
The first thing he said kind of made sense if you think about people like Jim Cornette.
Rusty Hammer lol 😂😂😂
I chuckled at Artie Fact.
3:41 Did he think there was an armrest there?
And by the way, it's booking "committee". Not booker, by himself. I'd pair him with someone who understood how to create tension and release on a card through booking (Someone like Ricky Steamboat comes to mind, matter of fact.) and was a little more serious about the dramatic side of wrestling and let them two of them go towards the goal of a total package.

Disco's ideas are no worse than Lawler's ideas for wrestlers in the memphis territory.
Good gravy...
Do you think people are going to buy this? Worst shoot everrrrrrrrr
is just me or is Disco Vince Russo's evil twin?
Wtf he looks exactly the same
LOL! Disco Inferno to book Ring Of Honor!
Well in his defense is any of this any more stupid than the fucking shit they just had on Raw this past Monday?
+Nathan Justice This is the thing: "Attitude" era stuff, IMO, shouldn't sell anymore because attitude is the name of the culture now. Attitude worked when the culture was shifting.

funny stuff on an interview or two weeks of TV...but beyond that...
The Evil Archaeologists vs. The Jew Tang Clan...That'll put some butts in the seats!
That's all dumb kindergarten ideas, and guess what? He never made any money writing wrestling.
I May Not Agree with Glenn/Disco on Some to Many Things, But He's Entertaining as Heck
Disco!!!
80% Entertainment, 20% Wrestling? No wonder Russo likes you.
Disco Inferno: The dad joke of booking.
Most memorable characters?!? Who the bloody hell's Disco Inferno!?
