Former WCW star Alex Wright appeared on Casual Conversations With The Classic, where he discussed several topics, including why he opted not to make the transition to WWE once the company bought WCW.

Now I have to take a break and go back to my roots, and [put] some distance to the sport because I didn’t want to end up like some of my colleagues, you know?”
