History Wrestling / GlennGilbertti

* TalkativeLoon: He was supposed to have faced Wrestling/StevieRichards at the [=MEWF=]'s (Mid-Eastern Wrestling Federation in Maryland), as Disco was the [[http://www.cagematch.net/?id=5&nr=218 MEWF Heavyweight Champion]] at the time. It turned into a tag match with Disco and Earl the Pearl vs. Wrestling/TheBlueMeanie and a partner whose name appears to have been lost to time. Here's Disco's pre-match promo:

'''Glenn Gilbertti''' (b. 1968) is an American {{Professional Wrestl|ing}}er best known for his work in Wrestling/{{WCW}} from 1995 to the bitter end as '''Disco Inferno.''' He debuted in the Georgia independent scene in 1991 and also competed in the USWA in Memphis. He debuted in WCW in Fall 1995 as a midcarder, winning matches against low-ranked competitors but losing to bigger names, including Wrestling/EddieGuerrero and, in his last WCW appearance, Wrestling/{{Sabu}}. Over the course of his WCW career, he would hold the [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/wcw/wcw-tv.html WCW World Television Title]] twice and the [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/wwe/wwe-c.html WCW World Cruiserweight Title]] once. He has also competed for Wrestling/{{TNA}}, Wrestling/DragonGate, Wrestling/JuggaloChampionshipWrestling and many other promotions. In 1995, ''Wrestling/TheWrestlingObserverNewsletter'' gave him their "Best Gimmick" Award.

** He returned to TNA on the October 18 (taped October 15), 2007 ''TNA Impact'' saying that he wanted to be taken seriously for once. His opponent that night? "The Monster" Abyss. He hasn't had a match in TNA since.

* MorallyAmbiguousDucktorate: In the service of a stealth ShoutOut which bordered on GeniusBonus for those people who got the very dated reference. On the October 2, 2000 ''Wrestling/WCWMondayNitro'', he started carrying around a plastic duck, which he called his "Disco Duck," a reference to Music/RickDees' 1976 #1 hit "Disco Duck."

* TheFriendNobodyLikes: As a member of the Filthy Animals and the NWO Wolfpac

* PowerStable: The [[Wrestling/NewWorldOrder The NWO]], the Filthy Animals, and the New Blood

** On the December 21, 1998, ''WCW Monday Nitro'', he came to the ring serious, claiming to be in the NWO Wolfpac and threw out a challenge to anyone from NWO Hollywood, naming [[Wrestling/{{Virgil}} Vincent]], Horace Hogan and Buff Bagwell, who hadn't competed in 8 months due to a neck injury. The NWO music hit and he got...[[Wrestling/TheBigShow the Giant (Paul "The Big Show" Wight)]]. You can guess the rest.

* BashBrothers: With Alex Wright, as apparently Disco was the only person who liked working with him.

** WouldntHitAGirl: {{Enforced|Trope}} by WCW. Did nothing but arm drags and drop toe holds all match. Nearly won anyway by rolling through a cross body block.

** [[GratuitousDiscoSequence Everything's Funkier With Disco]]: A disco ball would come down from the ceiling as part of his entrance.

* PrettyFlyForAWhiteGuy: While with the Filthy Animals. He renamed to Disqo, and would bungle the Filthy Animals catchphrases with outdated slang, e.g. saying "It's all swell" instead of "It's all good".
