The list below is a totally unbiased selection of Disco Dave posts chosen by a panel of internet experts (i.e. ME).  Although technically given rankings, how could you ever really choose your favorites?  Without further aideu, here are your favorites.

1) Miracle on East Main Street

This is the second to last Christmas extravaganza submitted by Disco Dave in December 2005.  The following year was Rowdy Roddy's Cancer Christmas, which would be here if it wasn't erased. This was an extremely long post, which is basically a rewrite of Miracle on 34th Street, except starring Rey Mysterio.  There are a few laughs to be had, but I think I chose this as number one simply because I remember Disco bitching about the ungodly amount of time he took to write it.  Sometimes you get the impression that Disco wasn't the sharpest knife in the drawer.

2) The Failed Roundtable Experiment

This post featured Disco Dave acting as moderator for several Lethal staffers discussing the wrestling topics of the day (March 2006).  It was compiled from a live IRC chat where the topics were tossed out amongst the usual insults and dick jokes that pretty much any Lethal IRC chat were filled with.  The plan was to make a series of these posts, but the difficulties of arranging to have several disorganized out of shape Net Geeks in one virtual place at a set time killed the idea after one more failed attempt.  Slick editing turned a disjointed chat into a seamles discussion with well thought out responses and very little off topic wandering.  So basically nothing what the live chat actually looked like.

3) Disco Dave at a Rowdy Roddy Piper Live Event

In February 2006, Disco and a friend of his attended a 'One Man Show' starring Rowdy Roddy Piper.  Despite mocking him for years, Disco admits that Piper is his all time favorite wrestler.  The recap of the show is a fairly detailed account of the stories Piper told, as well as the fan interaction portion, where Disco managed to get Piper to talk about Jonny Fairplay.  The post ends with a surprise that would have ruined most people's nights, but instead just gave Disco and his pal another cool story to tell.

4) The Bears (don't) Win the Superbowl!!!!!

Disco Dave was a die hard Chicago Bears fan.  Why?  Nobody knows.  However, in February 2007, his beloved Bears played in the super bowl.  What could have been an amazing night for him was ruined by the uninspired play of possibly the worst quarterbaclk to ever start in a Superbowl, Rex Grossman.  Despite Grossman's awful performance, Disco decided that Rex deserved a tribute post, where he could receive his due praise for a season well done.  What a true gentleman.


5) Disco Dave Listens to Self Help Tapes

In June of 2007, Disco Dave promised that this was just the first in a 'series of posts' about a set of self help tapes he had found.  Dave would make this promise to write a 'series of posts' for various subjects over the years, and never delivered once.  Whether he ever planned to, or if it was just another gimmick he thought up to hook readers, we will never know.  This post was a review of a tape that espoused the virtues of "The Power of Positive Self Expentancy".  However the post flipped back and forth between the self help tape and Disco ranting about how much Facebook depressed him.  A little aside here, someone managed to hijack Disco's facebook account and use it for about a year before members of his family successfully lobbied Facebook to delete it.  For the record, that was NOT me, I swear. 

6) Retarded Siskel and Ebert

In December of 2005, the staff at Lethal decided to write 'year end' pieces for the website,  Various posters teamed up in pairs to give out their own "Best of 2005" awards.  Disco chose to work with part time staffer Pez, and they chose to use the gimmick of Siskel and Ebert.  Disco was the fat one, and Pez, who was rumored to be dying of kidney failure at the time, was the dead one.  The post is filled with Disco and Pez doing what they do best, shitting on everything.

7) It's A Wonderful E

December 2003 was Disco Dave's first Christmas on staff at Lethal Wrestling.  Creating the only repeating series he ever actually followed through with (besides the recaps), the first annual Christmas post was a retelling of the holiday classic It's a Wonderful Life.  Vince McMahon is cast in the Jimmy Stewart role as the man who finds out just what life would be like if he were never born.  All ends well, which is rare for a Disco Dave post.  Maybe he wasn't such a cynical bastard way back then.

I doubt it too.

8) Christmas in Iraq

In 2004, the WWE sent Mick Foley and most of their Superstars to Iraq to perform for the troops.  Most normal people saw this as a nice gesture by Vince McMahon to give back to the only people he seemed to care about almost as much as his money, the United States Military.  However Dave saw it as another thing to mock and make predictable jokes about.  This 'recap' is actually fictional from start to finish.  I hate to admit it, but Disco's version probably would have been more interesting to watch than what actually aired.

9) Smackdown Recap for Nov 13, 2005 (Death of Eddie Guerrero)

You wouldn't think that a standard recap would make it into the top ten posts of all time, and I would agree with you.  However this post was definitely one of Disco's favorites, as he loved being able to mock the frequent early deaths of wrestlers or celebrities.  Ironic? I distinctly remember him boasting that while most of the web were still crying out tributes (including several on Lethal), he had the first post anywhere on the web mocking it a mere nione hours after the news broke. Regardless, as of the posting of this page, the images and banners are all broken links.  Sometime in the future, these posts may be rehosted here so that the broken images in most of them can be restored.  For now, the best part of this post is missing, but I am pretty sure a large angry ghost would haunt me if this wasn't on the list.

10) Touched By an Angel

One of the reasons this post is on the list is because it has to be.  It is the first front page post by Disco Dave that ever appeared at Lethal Wrestling.  However on quick inspection, it also lays out one thing that was always true for a lot of us.  Although we are ashamed to admit it, we are all wrestling fans.  The product may get worse and worse, but there is not much in the way of alternative programming worth watching out there.  So keep watching, and keep mocking.  It's what we do best.

Oh yeah, and it's about dead wrestlers touching the lives of living wrestlers or some shit.

So that's it.  These ten posts are all there is left of the real Disco Dave on the internet.  Maybe one day, someone will find all of the posts lost on the Lethal servers, but it won't be me. I'd put an email link here so you could leave feedback, but I doubt you'd get a response.
