[BLISSED & LYNCHED]

Cringe jobber in an inferior product vs solid mid carder with charisma during the best period in the history of the business.


Val Venis by a landslide.

• Val Venis win percentage in 737 single's matches in the WWF = 45.3% (334 wins/391 losses)
• Disco Inferno win percentage in 334 single's matches in WCW = 41.3% (138 wins/193 losses)
  • Did hit the Chart Buster on guys like Scott Hall, Bam Bam Bigelow, and Booker T

I'm a fan of disco music and the Disqo Duck, so I gotta go with Glenn here.

I once saw Disco have a very good match in (i think) late-1998

 

[RainmakerV2]

Disco is more remembered over all. So he wins.

 

[SKYE-BLUE-SHIVVY]

I know this is in the Classic section, but these two are the furthest thing from classic. My first response would be I don't care but I'll give an opinion.

Val was in better shape and struck me as the better wrestler but Disco's oil of ole cracked me up big time. I'll go with who entertained me more. Disco by an inch after NWO interference.

 

[Typical Cena Fan]

Disco entertains me a lot more to this day. He always upsets the work-rate marks every time he tweets or opens his mouth.

Val I just remember his “Hello Ladies” and his right censor gimmick where he said about all the filth they made him say.

 

[JohnMena]

Disco had 1-2 great singles matches at best and val venis was good in the 2002 royal rumble, other than that neither has set the world alight so I'll edge it towards disco.

 

[Black Metal]

Undecided

They both are terrible.

 

[Honey Bucket]

That little hand flick thing that Val did on his way to the ring always made me laugh. I used to think it fit in the context of his character, like he had just finished a ‘scene’ backstage and he strides out trying to fling the cum off his hands.

The AE really fucked me up as a teen.

Val was an IC champ and had the better career. If you go back to the 00's I don't think I heard anyone ever talk about Disco Inferno. He was just a joke act. If we go by 1999 PWI rankings Val was 25th, Disco Inferno 85th. And that sounds about right to me. One was a serious mid card act the other just more a comedic side act.

 

[ClassicFan]

Welp, it looks like Val has a longer track record of hitting Money Shots than Disco has hitting Chart Busters.

 

[The XL 2]

Kayfabe from 1998-2001 Val goes over 19 out of 20 times.

 

[SuperstarSlyme]

Got to be for the European title

I'm still trying to figure out how they had Disco wrestling for the Cruiserweight Championship at the size/weight he was at.

I'm still trying to figure out how they had Disco wrestling for the Cruiserweight Championship at the size/weight he was at.

Chris Jericho was a 4-time Cruiserweight Champion, and he was roughly the same size as Disco. When I started becoming a fan of Jericho in 98' that was the one thing that stood out about him- he was larger than nearly all of his Cruiserweight opponents.

Of course, the title was rendered meaningless when Ed Ferrara defeated Madusa to become champion in early 2000.

Yep. Pointless championship belt after a while. It should have been based on height and not weight since that is basically what it was about anyway. Dudes like Chris Benoit could have thrived in that league due to his power and muscle mass, despite being around 5'9".

 

[Codyreigns]

Val Venis. The only thing disco inferno sets alight is when his match ends and everything else is hotter than his match, even a 10 second squash has more entertainment than him.

 

[THE_OD]

After thoughtful consideration. The answer is Alex Wright.
