This is several Q and A's with Alex that i have found over the past couple of years.
Three questions ... with Alex Wright
Q1. Are you happy with the way WCW is treating you, and what are your intentions for the future?
A1. "Right now ... things could be better. But everyone has their ups and downs. I really like WCW; it's a great company to work for, with a lot of great talent. It certainly is a great place to
learn, get better and better. You never know what is going to happen in the future."
Q2. Do you hold your father (Steve) in high regard for his wrestling career?
A2. "My dad is my biggest idol; he always was and always will be. He taught me everything I know, and there's no one better than him in the ring. He wrestled professionally for 26 years all
over the world, from Europe to Japan to Mexico to the United States. He was a Middleweight Champion on several occasions."
Q3. You said that your hero was Hulk Hogan. What do you think of him now that he has joined The NWO?
A3. "That's right, I said Hulk Hogan was my hero -- not 'Hollywood' Hulk Hogan. He has changed dramatically and has shown his true face. He's nothing but a traitor, and it stinks! He let
down all of kids in the world."
