Glen Gilberti was once a mainstay on the WCW Nitro programs, and was actually a pretty solid mid card performer.

He had a reign as World Television Champion, and also teamed with Alex Wright in the criminally underrated Boogie Knights tag team. His Chartbuster stunner was actually superior to Stone Cold Steve Austin's Stone Cold Stunner--sorry but it's true--and he was definitely an entertaining fellow in his hey day.

But it's not his WCW career that has made him court controversy. Rather, it's his somewhat outdated thinking on the subject of women's wrestling. With the Women's Evolution in full swing, and Becky Lynch arguably the biggest star in WWE at the moment, you'd think he would know better than to open his mouth, but alas, he did not.

"I am not a fan of women's wrestling" is perhaps not the best thing to say in this day and age. However, Glen Gilberti seems to have landed on his feet after the controversial statements, as he is booked into a program on Impact wrestling with Scarlett Bordeaux.
