Today we would like to wish a happy 51st Birthday to WWE Road Agent, former Triple Crown Champion in WCW & WWF Light heavyweight: Dean Malenko. Starting in early 1980's as a ref for the WWE but that wasn't his true calling as both his brother & father were already wrestlers. His true calling came in 1988 when he started wrestling in Japan with his brother Joe until Joe's retirement. His first major exposure in the states in his wrestling career wasn't until 1994 when he became the extreme shooter for the upstart ECW. Stayed in ECW for a year while only their for a short time he became a former 3 time TV champion fought in the match that Taz broke his neck in & torn the house down with Eddie in their last match. Moving down to Atlanta with the WCW were he, stayed from 1995-2000 winning the cruserwieght championship 4 times, Tag titles on 2 occasions and the US once making him a triple crown winner. This part of his career is when he officially became the ICEMAN & adopted the nickname "The Man of 1000 holds. He also feuded with Jericho in Chris's last big feud before leaving WCW. Following in foot steps of his friend he, Benoit (World Champion at the time), Perry Saturn, & Eddie Guerrero left WCW an went to the WWE. He wrestled in the WWE for a year holding the light weight title during most of his stint before retiring from the ring and working backstage. He has appeared a few times for the WWE to both promote storylines, & say goodbye to friends.
Happy Birthday today to the "ICEMAN" Dean Malenko

WWE Fast Lane 2015: PPV Predictions

WWE Fast Lane: WWE Tag Team Title Match: (c) The Uso's vs Cesaro & Tyson Kidd As the Tag division gets smaller and smaller in my book the expectations of this match should be getting higher, because the smaller the division the more weight it puts on the shoulders of the teams in the division. I do firmly believe if they give this match the time it could be a good match, as these teams I feel have good chemistry in the ring with each other. I think Cesaro and Kidd walk away with the titles after Nattie turns heel helping Tyson & Cesaro win. Divas Title Match: (c) Nikki Bella w/ Brie vs Paige Though this has been like much of the diva feuds of the past with the fact that this feud has gotten a lot of TV time leading into this match.

As he has hinted on more then one occasion that he is frustrated with how WWE has been using him. At first it boiled over back in the Summer with the mid card guys but now since nothing has changed Ryder and others have adopted the "I don't give a s***" attitude when it comes to if they get fired or not. Once again I don't know everyone all I know is that it is a lot of the mid-card & divas who feel they are not being valued as good as they should be. Ryder has said it on his Youtube show Z True Long Island Story that WWE dropped the ball with him and that 2012 sucked for him. Which I agree with both statements I mean it was the perfect opportunity for WWE to push someone new but they instead botched it and made him lose all of his momentum. For one reason he wasn't push
