General Chit-Chat Thread: A New Beginning

I feel so bad for that dude
Forced into a gimmick that was garbage when he wasn’t ready and then just disregarded like trash

It blows my mind that Alex Wright didn't turn into a major star. He was so young & had so much potential. He's still only 49!

 

[Chris]

He had only recently left the company actually

still, I'd have been shocked if he'd left the day before with them at the time tbh

 

[Chris]

I knew he made it until the real warrior came in tho

 

[Chris]

Crazy that the widely panned fake version suddenly became the best ultimate warrior in the company then

It's not surprising actually. He was in WCW after all.

 

[Sky]

One of the top teams in WCW Saturday Night was him and Joe Gomez

I blame the Berlyn gimmick for Alex Wright's collapse. It was just that awful

 

[Looji Nagata]

Butts

are in the Veep Room

 

[Sky]

It's quite easy to transition his techno-loving gimmick into a sadistic heel. Trenchcoats, sunglasses indoors, the sound of pounding German beats over a beatdown like a camp New Jack

 

[Sky]

But no, Russo said "FOREIGN HEEL! WITH MOHAWK!"

Didn't help that Jim Duggan fucked on him on his first PPV match with that gimmick

 

[Sky]

And his bodyguard turns on him three weeks in for some reason

 

[Chris]

Butters probably thought the renegade was the actual ultimate warrior
