How would you have made Dean Malenko a dime when he came to the WWF?
>>20699755Give him a stable of young boys that he stretches and teaches them the ropes
>>20699755hes like 4 foot 9 and a charisma vacuum
>>20699755Coated him in a combination of copper and nickel then crushed him an industrial press.
>>20699755I never liked Dean Malenko. He was there during the first 10 years of me being a die hard wrestling fag and I still never liked him. No dimes possible.
>>20699755Give him a manager and have him beat all the smaller guys on the roster.
Have him retire all the 90s attitude era guys who washed out soon after 2000 anyway.
>>20699755The answer to this, as always, is give him a significantly hotter valet who worships his dick.It works 100% of the time and the only times it has not is when plans gave up on the angle before it could truly bloom.
>>20700503Problem is, Cornette, not everyone is as cuckbrained as you.
>>20699818Hey Tony, I got an idea for a new stable.
>>20699755Never let him talk or do so extremely sparingly to keep some mystique around himGive him a group of ladies to escort him to the ring similar to the Godfather so despite his size there's the appearance that since they're with him that there must be something to the guyThrow him a few larger opponents to tap out to legitimize him and create the idea that even though he's smaller he can still be a threat to anyone on the roster
His weird James Bond gimmick some how got over. Maybe do that but also give him a gun. Golden Eye was still huge at the time.
>>20699755Rename him to The Great Malenko and turn him into a juggalo. Woop woop.
>>20699755Before he debuts in WWF make him retire and have him work backstage as an agent then call him a legend and tell legendary stories about him. Then bring him back 10 years later as a legendary wrestler returning to reclaim past glory and have him beat Brodus Clay,Tensai and Heath Slater.
Give him a mask and call it El Grande Nodimes, injury him on purpose, get him off TV, add a second El Grande Nodimes and make them feud with each other, eventually. The problem is: you cannot unmask him.

>>20699936so you don't know.
Lean into the iceman persona. Have him cut promos in a freezer.
>>20699755couldnt do much with him other than make him a tag champ with guerrero
>>20699755I would’ve done the correct thing and never even hired this fucking boring ass midget
>>20699755>How would you have made Dean Malenko a dime when he came to the WWF?Give him 12 inch lift boots, so that he could finally be as tall as 5'11 guys like Kurt Angle, austin, hbk, etc
Got one of the biggest pops of the attitude era. Never forget.
>>20699755>vanilla midget>jewish>spent most of his prime as an uncharismatic workrate machine he was never going to win this board’s heart
>>20700642This
>>20699755Impossible to do
>>20699755Hook him up with icpHes the great malenko nowHe has a top hat and does wizard bullshitHe already has draculas hairline so lets add insane street rhymes
Hook him up with somebody that had a personality so he can be the straight man.
>>20700584>somehow got overIt did not! Stop lying!
>>20700544>>20700841
Put him in a mask, bring in some smaller masked guys and have him cripple them.
I'd have liked to have seen him in wwf a little earlier with Cornette as his manager. Hmmm.. maybe even when Cornette was managing Davey Boy and Owen. Three of them feud with Bret. Something like that..
>>20704094Anon please stop with the simpsonsIt gives me ptsd from the irish faggots at osw
>>20699755All of these ideas are shitThere really was no way of making Dean Malenko happen, he looks boring, he has no personality, no charisma, and could be summed up as "Oh yeah, he exists"Benoit had a certain intensity to him and looked unwell in the head, Perry Saturn had a better love story with his mop than those shitty Netflix original romcoms, and Eddie Guerrero was dimes incarnate even as a 5'9 Mexican
>>20701792You forgot the worst part. Ukrainian.
>>20699755I think the young women diddler was the perfect gimmick for him because he has that old creep fuck look. I don't think Malenko would've been able to get over any gimmick for that matter, he should be thankful he wasn't given a dancing gimmick for being a manlet mute who can't speak.
>>20699755Why do indie darlings idolize this shitter again?

Dancing gimmick

>>20700584He was never over
>>20700503>give him a significantly hotter valet who worships his dick.>It works 100% of the time'fraid not
>>20700461this, it isn't really rocket science
>>20700642giga dimes
>>20699755Impossible on his own. He'd have to be a heel in a cruiserweight division, but cruiserweights don't draw, so by extension he can't draw as a heel champion.The closest a Malenko guy has come to getting over was Roderick Strong as part of Undisputed Era. But even then he was just tagging along for the dimes that Adam Cole drew.
>>20700503Yeah, I remember when Esse Rios main evented Wrestlemania.
>>20700503He was with terri runnels for a little bit. It still didn't work
>>20706010Compared to how much they idolize AJ Styles, CM Punk, Daniel Bryan a& Seth Rollins? Barely
