| 2 | 03.04.2024 | igskillfart | 10.0 | All im a say, there is a reason why he has the nickname "The man with 1000 holds". One of the best pure wrestlers of all time. Absolute legend in the professional wrestling buisness. |

| 4 | 18.03.2024 | face painted legend | 10.0 | When it came to making a persona work based on their strengths, I don't think there was a more believable performer than Dean Malenko in The Shooter/ Ice Man role. Because here is a guy that didn't show facials or emotion, didn't have any personality at all as a performer or on the microphone, and certainly didn't have the size going for him, but once the bell rang he could wrestle you move for move and hold for hold all day long as he had 1, 000 of them pun intended. He had the features and mannerisms to make the persona work too. I was always a fan of the slicked back hair with receding hair line, the five o'clock shadow beard, the way he'd cock his head side to side, and loosen up his wrists on the way to the ring. He kinda reminded me of Royce Gracie a lot when Royce fought in the early days of the UFC. He had that kind of aura and presence when he walked out. And one of the most memorable commentary lines of all time was for Dean Malenko. When predicting the World War 3 pay per view in WCW, Malenko was Heenan's pick, and that was met with radio silence for a few moments amongst the rest of the announcers. Nothing but high regards for Dean as a performer from me. |

| 6 | 07.03.2024 | mizzysha | 8.0 | How much you enjoy Malenko is gonna depend on how deeply you value an entertaining gimmick, which he simply has never had. But Malenko is that rare case where it really doesn't matter to a lot of wrestling fans because of how freakishly amazing he is in the ring. Definitely one of the best mid-carders of all time as he undeniably revolutionized cruiserweight wrestling, but I think his successors like Chris Benoit and Eddie Guerrero took what he did to the next level. |

| 17 | 17.01.2024 | rgpick | 9.0 | Growing up and watching wrestling in the 90s, I had never seen anyone like Malenko. the way he moved, his move set, his technique, his size...he was amazing and unlike anyone else at the time, which was helped make him such a standout. While the bigger guys would get the prime spots, you know you'd see some incredible things when you'd get to see Malenko mixing it up with wcw's cruiser weights. |

| 21 | 19.11.2023 | JediSaiyanMaster1203 | 8.0 | Sure, Dean Malenko had no character, mic skills or charisma, but he was one hell of a worker in the ring. He is easily among the best technical wrestlers to ever exchange holds with other wrestlers, he was a lot of fun to watch wrestle against the likes of Chris Jericho, Chris Benoit, Eddie Guerrero, Rey Mysterio and many others in WCW and ECW, the less said about his WWF days, the better. |

He had some terrific matches with Rey Mysterio and could always pull a good match out of almost anyone. His run in the WWF was a bit of a letdown, as he was never positioned as well as he was in WCW, but he did manage to have a good run. |

| 41 | 18.06.2023 | fgpfriends | 9.0 | Very underrated guy, He was incredible in the ring for the early years, but sadly WWE didn't knew what to do with a gimmick, he lost his credibility, and he faded away, such a shame and waste, I used to like Dean Malenko, he could be a really great mid-card worker for ages. |

| 44 | 06.06.2023 | Giantfan1980 | 7.0 | One of the best talents in WCW in the late 90's. The only thing he lacked was size and personality but that didn't matter in WCW where they were more on ring work than character. When he came to the WWF in 2000, he faded into the background almost immediately. |

| 52 | 01.04.2023 | CoolKyle | 5.0 | Dean falls into a category of guys with me like Lance Storm, Christopher Daniels, and Alex Shelley, where what they do comes across as WAY too smooth. I often get the feeling watching them that they're doing a rehearsal of a particular routine (almost like a dance) and once they get to the actual performance they'll add in the "acting". Problem is this IS the actual performance, so I'm left cold because there's no sense of struggle. I think that's why I always enjoyed Benoit and am super into Bryan Danielson, because they make every little move feel like a battle with their opponent to just be able to pull it off. I can appreciate the athleticism of what Dean and his ilk are doing, but as storytellers they leave me cold even when the match structure is on point. |

| 59 | 13.01.2023 | benh2 | 7.0 | Technically up there with the best wrestlers we've ever seen. Extremely smooth with a wide offensive arsenal, good psychology. He was always going to struggle to be meaningful in an era that relied on angles and crash TV. He had some great matches in WCW but he was often held down by limited time in the ring or the commentators either being disinterested or outright burying the division. Haven't seen a great deal of his Japan work but I can imagine he fit in well there. Overall from my experience I enjoyed his brief ECW stint the most. |

| 67 | 08.11.2022 | Conquistador37 | 7.0 | While he is silky smooth, and has a ridiculously deep move/skillset - ultimately it feels like 98% of his matches are exhibitions with no ramifications (and sometimes it just looks like he's out there dancing with another cruiserweight). His most notable feud was with Chris Jericho, who MADE that feud (ARMBAR! ). Best opponent: BRAD ARMSTRONG! See also: Lance Storm and my insect analogy. |

| 78 | 18.07.2022 | Muggo | 8.0 | Dean Malenko is one of the best ever in ring, from his smoothness to making his opponent seem much better than what they were. I'm rating Malenko as an 8, because for the majority of his peak years, he wrestled for WCW and WWF, where to be a success, you needed a star look, charisma and mic skills, and Malenko had as much of those skills as you or me. I can guarantee Malenko would have been regarded as one of the greats if he stayed in Japan, where his flaws weren't emphasised nearly as much, but he didn't. |

| 86 | 03.02.2022 | GriffinX | 10.0 | Dean was the first guy I thought who was just cool in wrestling. He didn't need some over the top gimmick he was just this guy that could out wrestle you ever which way. Just to back and watch those WCW PPV's there is reason why he was so often put in a big spot at the companies peaks. |
| 87 | 01.01.2022 | benny5bellys | 9.0 | Dean Malenko is absolutely ace, so smooth and technical and always made his opponent look a million dollars. Always crazy seeing his early work where he would fly too. |

| 89 | 07.10.2021 | Pete Gallows | 8.0 | Great in ring wrestler- against cruiser weights in wcw, his matches with Rey and the other cruiser guys were amazing. Not believable against bigger skilled guys, well, just like most other smaller guys. He was not charismatic, but deserved better than being embarrassed in program with Lita etc, but thats wwf/e for you. Dean excelled as a pro wrestler, not as a sports entertainer.. |

Unfortunately, he didn't have the look to be pushed as much as his in-ring abilities suggested he should be, but he's a consistently excellent worker. |
