Disco Gets Raided

 

Disco fever is no more for Glen Gilbertti a.k.a. Disco Inferno. 

Gilbertti was arrested Monday in Georgia in connection with a gambling ring.  Gilbertti and 26 others were taken into custody for their involvement.  The illegal gaming operation was being run out of the home of Dan and Angela Tyre.  For more information on this arrest, click the link below.

Glen Gilbertti started his pro wrestling career in World Championship Wrestling back in 1994 wrestling as the Disco Inferno.  His music was generic disco music but his gimmick got surprisingly over with the crowd.  His character was the type that the fans would hate on and he garnered enormous amount of heat.  He would go onto to win the WCW World Television title and WCW tag team titles throughout his career.

After WCW was sold in 2001, Gilbertti fell off the wrestling radar.  He came back to mainstream wrestling in 2003 with TNA wrestling.  He became part of the group Sports Entertainment Xtreme (S.E.X., get it?)  He then spawned a group called the New York Connection (N-Y-C, get it?).  

Gilbertti was a pretty decent talent in the ring and great on the mic.  Too bad he’s in a world of trouble now.
