Mr. Scott Wright

After training in East Coast Professional Wrestling's school at Lake Hiawatha, New Jersey, Wright made his wrestling debut under the ring name Scotty Charisma in 2001. He would wrestle consistently for the ECPW promotion all throughout his career and regularly trained at their facility. In May 2003 Charisma won the ECPW Jr. Heavyweight Championship from rival Damian Adams at a fundraiser show at Suffern High School in New York.[5] Charisma also became a regular for the Connecticut based Assault Championship Wrestling, where he gained much success as he won the promotion's Junior Heavyweight Championship once, Tag Team Championship once with Matt Striker and became the promotion's first and only Television Champion.[4] After ACW folded in 2004, Charisma returned to the independent circuit before he made his East Coast Wrestling Association debut on September 18, 2004 in a victory over Handsome Johnny aka current WWE star Hanson[4] Soon after debuting, he won the promotion's Heavyweight Championship after defeating then-champion R. J. Brewer, Mike Kruel, Andrew Ryker and Xavier in a five-way elimination match on February 12, 2005.[2] Charisma later lost the ECWA title to Fred Sampson aka former WWE star Darren Young on November 5, 2005.[6]

Scott Wright's first major appearance on WWE television came from the Pepsi Arena in Albany, NY on March 3, 2005 when he was the local wrestler chosen for the Kurt Angle Invitational Challenge.[7] The sketch was a swerve as Shawn Michaels would attack Angle from behind while disguised as a camera man before the match could begin. This appearance aired on the March 5, 2005 edition of Smackdown and was included in the Wrestlemania 21 highlight buildup for the Angle/Michaels match. Ironically, four months later Wright was chosen to play one of Kurt Angle’s bodyguards who carried his gold medal to the ring on the July 18, 2005 episode of Raw from the Meadowlands Izod Center. He remained at ringside for Angle’s exciting match against Matt Striker who was billed as the local wrestler chosen for the Kurt Angle Challenge. Wright, as Scotty Charisma, made his World Wrestling Entertainment in ring debut on the December 13, 2005 episode of Velocity, where he teamed with his ECWA rival Arch Kincaid in a losing effort against Paul London and Brian Kendrick.[6][8] A few weeks later on January 2, 2006, Wright teamed with Fred Sampson in a losing effort to The Heart Throbs at the Meadowlands Izod Center in East Rutherford, New Jersey in a tag team match taped for Heat.[6][9] The next night, both Charisma and Sampson took part in another tag team match at the Wachovia Center in Wilkes Barre, Pennsylvania, which they lost to The Dicks (James and Chad) on Velocity.[6][8] The following week Wright and Danny Doring wrestled the FBI (Vito and Nunzio) in a WWE Smackdown Dark Match at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, PA. Wright's first singles match in WWE occurred on the June 13, 2006 tapings of SmackDown! at the Sovereign Bank Arena in Trenton, NJ, which he lost to Vito.[6][9] Wright would have three other WWE singles matches in the Summer of 2006 facing Umaga on the July 3rd episode of Monday Night Raw at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, the debuting Elijah Burke at the July 31st Supershow Smackdown taping at the Meadowlands Izod Center, and Sylvan Grenier at the September 12th Smackdown taping at the DCU Center in Worcester, Massachusetts.[10]

Wright would also appear on the November 27, 2006 episode of Raw, playing the role of a UPS delivery man in a backstage segment where Triple H and Shawn Michaels trapped the Spirit Squad in a crate to be shipped to "OVW" (Ohio Valley Wrestling). This was the last time the Spirit Squad was seen on WWE television.[9] On the December 18, 2006 episode of Raw, Wright played the role of a secret service man who was protecting a George W. Bush impersonator in the ring during a segment with Cryme Tyme (Shad Gaspard & JTG) at the MCI Center in Washington DC.[11] Scotty Charisma's last WWE match was on May 7, 2007 during a taping for HEAT at the Bryce Jordan Center on the campus of Penn State University when he teamed with independent standout Xavier in a loss to "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan and Eugene in a tag team match.[10] Wright would continue to make cameo appearances on WWE television until April 2009, one of which was playing the ill-fated camera man that was kicked in the face by Kane during the CM Punk/Batista match during the July 2008 Great American Bash Pay Per View from the Nassau Coliseum in Uniondale, NY.[12]

On March 1, 2008, Charisma, now renamed to Mr. Scott Wright, won the ECWA Title for the second time on March 1, 2008 after defeating Aden Chambers.[2] Wright would go on to hold the title for just over a month before losing it to Glen Osbourne on April 5.[5] One of the major highlights of Wright's career was being selected to compete in the 2010 "Super Eight" Tournament in on July 10, 2010 in Newark, Delaware. Wright was eliminated in the first round by "U-Gene" Nick Dinsmore.[6]

On July 13, 2012, Scotty won the D2W International Title defeating General Bobby Lee Walker and was named 2012 D2W "Most Popular Wrestler". Although he is not officially retired from professional wrestling, Wright's last match was on June 1, 2013 in Newark, Delaware.[13]
