Today is Dean Malenko's 49th birthday and my 35th. I was born on his 14th. For those who don't know who Dean Malenko is. He is a retired professional wrestler who is now a producer/road agent for WWE. He began his career in 1979 in FL. By the mid 1980's he was a star in Japan. IN 1994 he went to ECW with the late Eddie Guerrero and had some of the best matches ever. In 1995 Dean,Eddie and Chris Benoit went to WCW. He was a US champ there as well as one of only 2 guys to hold the Cruiserweight title 4 times. The other was Jericho. IN 2000 Dean went to WWE with Benoit,Guerrero and Perry Saturn as the Radicalz. He won the Lightheavyweight title twice. He also got show his wonderful sense of humor in a program with diva Lita. Then he retired and began his backstage work in August 2001 after a match at the Pillman/Hildebrand memorial show where he announced his plans to retire. Next to this birthday blog I have posted a picture of Dean and will post a link to a match video here: Dean VS Eddie in Japan
