Early career (2001–2005) 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. 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.[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, losing an Eight-Men Tag in ECWA.[13] ==Personal life==
