The next night, Malenko was suspended for his actions.
Jericho then proceeded to bring with him to the ring a portrait of Malenko that he insulted and demeaned.
On the March 12, 1998 episode of Thunder, Malenko defeated a wrestler wearing Juventud Guerrera's
mask who appeared to be Jericho.
On February 25, 1995, Benoit and Malenko defeated Sabu and Tazmaniac for the ECW Tag Team Championship,
making Malenko a double champion.
Following the contest, Benoit, Helmsley, and Dean Malenko all assembled in the ring and pointed to the sky in salute of Guerrero.
In 1999, Benoit teamed with Dean Malenko once again and
defeated Curt Hennig and Barry Windham to win the WCW World Tag Team Championship.
