Biography

Here is the rewritten biography of Disco Inferno:

Disco Inferno, a renowned American professional wrestler, made a lasting impact in the world of wrestling from 1995 to the end of WCW. Under the guidance of Steve Lawler, Disco Inferno began his career in the North Georgia Wrestling Alliance in 1991, where he won the NGWA Tag Team Titles alongside Ashley Clark. His journey continued as he wrestled for the USWA in Memphis, sharing the ring with notable wrestlers like Miss Texas (Jacqueline Moore),who would later become a recurring opponent in WCW.

Disco Inferno's television debut took place on September 16, 1995, as he defeated Scott Armstrong on WCW Saturday Night. He went on to become a midcarder, securing victories over lower-ranked talents while facing off against established stars like Eddie Guerrero and Sabu (Terry Brunk). His first pay-per-view appearance was at WCW World War 3 in November 1995, where he participated in a 60-man three-ring battle royal.

In late 1996, Disco Inferno started a storyline that revolved around his vaunted leglock submission hold, the Last Dance. He would boast about its effectiveness before matches, only to forget how to apply it, leading to his downfall. This narrative led to a series of losses, including a notable defeat at the hands of Jacqueline.

After being temporarily fired by WCW for refusing to lose to Jacqueline, Disco Inferno returned and surprised everyone by defeating Alex Wright for the WCW World Television Championship on September 22, 1997. This victory led to a confrontation with Jacqueline, who challenged him to a non-title match at WCW Halloween Havoc 97. Disco Inferno went on to regain the title on December 8, 1997, only to lose it to Booker T on December 29th.

Disco Inferno formed an on-and-off tag team with Alex Wright, unofficially known as the Dancing Fools, with Tokyo Magnum serving as an unofficial third member. In 2000, the team was officially named the Boogie Knights. As a heel, Disco Inferno started challenging Billy Kidman for the WCW World Cruiserweight Title without success.

In October 1999, Disco Inferno won the title by defeating Psicosis, who had been announced as the champion new just two days prior in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Disco Inferno lost the title to Evan Karagias at WCW Mayhem 1999 and went on to feud with the Mamalukes and their manager Tony Marinara.

Disco Inferno spent time in 2000 as a member of the Filthy Animals and the New Blood, a faction led by Vince Russo. He also worked as a consultant for the booking committee. After WWE acquired WCW in March 2001, they did not re-sign Disco Inferno, and he went on to compete for various independent promotions, including Border City Wrestling, World Wrestling All-Stars, the International Wrestling Cartel, Toryumon Japan, and TNA.

Disco Inferno continued to compete for various promotions, holding the MEWF Heavyweight Title, and even received the "Best Gimmick" Award from Dave Meltzer's "The Wrestling Observer Newsletter" in 1995.
