Rate The Wrestler - Day 43 - Alex Wright

[Funky Fly]

Greetings, bitches! It is I, Funkmaster Fly, and I'm here to guest host RTW, while my man Helmsphere recovers from illness. Get well soon, HS. And with that out of the way, let's get right into this special Birthday Edition of Rate The Wrestler.

Yesterday, one of the original Horsemen, one half of The Brainbusters, The Enforcer, himself, Arn Anderson scored a well deserved 92, placing him in a three-way tie for third place with Brian Pillman and HBK. As I said, today's wrestler was selected as a birthday request and is a former WCW cruiserwight champion. He is none other than that dancing fool, Alex Wright.

Happy voting, everyone.

Hope to see Helmsphere back soon, although I'll tolerate FF for now... ;) :lol:

Anyhow, good to see Arn get a great score like that - he deserves it.

My final rating for Alex Wright, IMO, an underrated talent, is a 8.7....

his dance gets him up to 7.5

Nothing special, his dance was stupid, had barely any in ring skill, and wasn't over

[Funky Fly]

For those who aren't aware, Berlyn was Alex Wright in Black tights and a shitty haircut.

I haven't voted in any of these, so I won't start now, but for the record...

Das Wunderkind > You

[BigDaddyCool]

Also, how the gay did Arn Anderson beat Ric Flair? This is all bullshit.

[Mister Sinister]

The same way he did at there only one on one ppv apperance...also, I'll only be on for a few minutes here and there for the next few day, which is why I've gotten funky to take care of things for me. But I'll still take part in voting on wrestlers...until I fully recover from my stomach flu...

What was his finisher? A German suplex?

[Mister Sinister]

Well, I was counting his regular reverrse Neckbreaker...I never seen him use the German, but all the WCW Video Games had him using that as a finisher

[Funky Fly]

Yeah, he used the German Suplex w/ bridge as a finisher on a regular basis. He did it quite well too.

[Mister Sinister]

But didn't he only do that until his return to WCW in 98-99 where he began using the reverse neckbreaker as a full time finisher?

<font color=goldenrod>I guess that's what happens when you insult Bret Hart. :-\ And yes, I do think it's bullshit.

Nevertheless, Wright gets a 7.5</font>

[CosaNostra]

I agree with BDC on that one. That doesn't make much sense.

Anyway, nothing special about Alexander Wright so I would normally give 6.5. But his gay boy dance will cost him half a point.

6.

7 - Alex Wright was also "Das Wunderkind", and that's what I'll always remember him as. I think he could've been better. He had decent charisma, and his matches, while unspectacular, weren't horrible. I thought the Berlyn character was interesting, but it didn't help that Gene Okerlund kept say, "Look, we all know you're really Alex Wright." Geez. Bury the guy, won't you. Typical self-referential Russo booking there.

In fact, I would have given him a 6 if it weren't for one crucial factor: Alex Wright was one half of the tag team "Boogie Knights." I could never de-rate a tag team partner of the Disco Inferno. :)

[Sephiroth]

6.5

6.0

[Anybody Thrilla]

For all you voters, also take into consideration his amazing theme music, and such memorable phrases as "I'm so sexy! Look at my body!".

Actually, the best thing Alex Wright ever said was in a promo before Clash of the Champions. He was set to face Ultimo Dragon for the Television title, and he said something along the lines of...

"Dragon, huh? I know why they call you Dragon. They call you that because I'm gonna be " draggin' " you all over the ring!"

If that's not promo goodness, I don't know what is.

[Sickboy]

7.5 because I really liked his Berlyn gimmick... yes I did.

[Mister Sinister]

And Remember, he is 1-0 v. Triple H at Pay Per Views!

[Anybody Thrilla]

And Remember, he is 1-0 v. Triple H at Pay Per Views!

I remember that match! Alex Wright v. Terra Ryzin!

Change my score to 10

I think that Arn and Flair deserve about the same score. Arn is the better wrestler, while Flair is the better entertainer. At least in my opinion.

[tucsonspeed6]

I'll give him an 8.5. I'm slightly biased, though, because he's been a very usefull member of my wrestling staff on EWR.

[Joe Kerr]

9 I place him Higher than Disco (no offence Lara Emily) I always enjoyed watching Alex wright

[Anybody Thrilla]

As an actual wrestler?

[Gouda]

I honestly don't remember much about Alex Wright other than his dance... and that for awhile he was called Berlin. So I'm going to abstain from voting this day.

*does the Alex Wright dance*
