[@jacksmith1983]

Bruce Prichard said on a Q&A episode of his podcast that WWF management were very high on Alex Wright and tried to sign him several times. The perception was that he was well paid in relation to his place on the card in WCW and in a comfort zone there. A shame as once the NWO angle started, WCW lost interest in giving him a serious push. He was having competitive and very good TV matches with Ric Flair prior to that. Even though he wasn't a great promo, he was young, could work with anyone and the WWF would have dialled up his dancing character. If he'd jumped in 1996 - 98 he'd have become a much bigger star ultimately in the WWF. I've no doubt of that.

[@The_Bigot]

Really no doubt? I could see it happen like you say. But, I still have some doubt about it.

[@Clubber-Slang]

yeah, i get what you're saying, but he probably at that time frame would've been an early version of Fandango and been in the midcard shuffle with; Val Venis, Godfather, etc. Which isn't bad at all, at those gimmicks were over, but at the same time all of them fizzled out and "creative" moved them onto something else and not many of them really made it into the 2000s. Or he could've went to WWF, stayed off TV for a little bit, gained 20 pounds of muscle, gone to one of their acting seminars and come back with something different, as WWF often, even now, wants to repackage people.

[@zeitxgeist]

From a health and business perspective he 100% did the right thing. Unless you become a legend you don't get remembered too well in the industry except by proper fans; he was getting paid huge for mid card work, after that went back to Germany, banked his money and started his own promotion. In retrospect look at what other legends have turned into after going from wrestling 300 days a year to 0 with no backstage roles. some of those long-term low and mid carders would be on disability welfare for sure.

Alex Wright was a cracking performer but nobody really knew what to do with him. I doubt WWF during the time has was at WCW would've done anything with him really, once they got him.

You wouldnt know but according to the WCW contracts which can be read on google, between 96 and 2000 Alex was the 21st best paid wrestler on the card. He topped Big Show, Eddie, Rey and Benoit in earnings. His last two years were 375k and 395k no wonder he turned them down. He earned over 1,3 million in 4 years and he is a smart guy, I guess he is set for life.

Vince's guys do business better. No one would have put anywhere near as many ass in seats than Hogan and The Outsiders. Why you would bury your own company.. That makes 0 sense at all.

But there was some good talent there and some really good potential storylines and matches that was left on the table.

I can imagine Vince McMahon loving his dancing gimmick. He would have been perfect for the Un-Americans faction from around 2002/2003. I was always surprised WWE never brought in Disco Inferno as well. His gimmick seemed perfect for WWE and he had huge name value.

[@mpeters220]

Very entertaining wrestler right here. This guy is so talented. I am a super fan of Alex Wright. Edit: The guy was amazing. Very good technical wrestler and tremendous athlete. He had one of the best drop-kicks in the 90's if you go back and take a look. It was just so entertaining when he would grab the mic and start speaking German, berating the audience for being ignorant. The dance step he would do was basically quintessential and also I truly enjoyed when he would kayfabe spit on his opponent. When I remember WCW I actually dont remember the NWO stuff but instead I appreciate the Alex Wrights and the Dean Malenkos because those were the truly great elements of the show.

[@bevansmith3384]

Great in ring ability, could work well as a face or heel. I remember in 1995 he had a great match with Rice Flair, that's the potential he had. Good pay per view matches with Chris Jericho and Ultimo Dragon. The unfortunate timing of his Berlyn character didn't help

I remember reading in a magazine back in '95 or early '96 that Alex Wright was WCW's answer to The 123 Kid, which raised my eyebrow as Wright looked to be more of a mat grappler who would only do calculated high-risk moves when necessary, whereas Waltman would often throw caution to the wind, nearly killing himself through some freak occurrence. Looking back I didn't think too much of Wright either positive or negative. Thanks to OSW Review and Wrestling Bios, I have more of an appreciation of "Das Wunderkind", especially the heelishly awesome Dance Moves to his German-Techo entrance Music.

Shane appearing on Nitro was a historic moment. But they should have just ended the show with all the wrestlers in the ring. And then do the whole McMahon bought WCW angle 6 months later. It would have given them more time to bring in WCW stars then and potentially continue the storyline to around 8-10 months after the last show. Giving a better chance at having some guys jump over while the angle was going on. The whole thing was botched. The NWO could have been positioned to be the last stand for WCW against WWF.

The duration of the deal was to be May 1998 to May 2002, but he got out of it way earlier than that.

His contract wasn't bought out or cancelled so he was probably being paid until 2002. (Pure speculation on My part) Your probably right about Hogan. Although Jan 1999 they had a nitro where Hogan said he signed a new contract that would take him to 2002. Then at bash at the beach 2000, legal behind the scenes stuff happened. He sued wcw.
