Female superstar says she inspired John Cena turning heel HERE
He was once known as the man of 1000 holds, but nowadays, Dean Malenko has taken his decades of superior in-ring knowledge and put it to use by raising up a new generation of WWE Superstars.
Dean Malenko was one of the anchors of WCW’s success during the peak of the Monday Night Wars. Alongside the other stars of that era, Malenko was at the forefront of the birth of the cruiserweight boom.
Retirement was not an option for a man with so much left to give the business, as shown in his efforts today as one of WWE’s go-to backstage brains. Malenko serves WWE Superstars as an agent, as well as a producer, which are essentially two job titles, with similar duties.

About the author

Jonathan Carpenter is a pro wrestling journalist at Sportskeeda. After obtaining a degree in political science from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, he started writing WWE articles in 2016. Jonathan believes integrity is vital in journalism and ensures his work is high on accuracy. He conducts in-depth research and verifies information from various sources before curating a feature.
Jonathan has engaged in many meaningful conversations with prominent pro wrestling personalities like Drew McIntyre and DDP. He grew up in Memphis, admiring Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan during WWE’s Golden Era in the ‘80s. He has attended many pro wrestling events and credits The Hulkster for making his childhood memorable.
Jonathan, a big fan of Bray Wyatt, would like to see the latter's brother, Bo Dallas, continue his legacy as Uncle Howdy. If he were to work on the storyline, Jonathan would book the return of Erick Rowan as Howdy’s muscle. He thinks it would be a great way to honor the former Universal Champion.
When not writing pro wrestling features, Jonathan likes to collect sports memorabilia and has amassed a large collection of event-used and autographed relics over the years.
