Scott Wright

Early life Prior to wrestling, Wright worked in the fitness industry for New York Sports Clubs in Danbury, Connecticut and Nanuet, New York. He has held personal training certifications through both the National Academy of Sports Medicine and the Aerobics and Fitness Association of America as well as a certification as nutritional specialist for Apex Fitness. Coinciding with his wrestling career, Wright has been a seventh and eighth grade history teacher at Suffern Middle School in New York. 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. Charisma later lost the ECWA title to Fred Sampson aka former WWE star Darren Young on November 5, 2005. 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. 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. 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.

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. 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.

Independent circuit (2006–2013) 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. Wright would go on to hold the title for just over a month before losing it to Glen Osbourne on April 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.

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, losing an Eight-Men Tag in ECWA.
