Scott Wright (born December 11, 1974) is an America] professional wrestler best known by his ring name Scott Wright. He is currently signed to IWE where he performs on the Raw brand, Wright was trained by his uncle Scott Wright and wrestled early on in Mexico where he learned the Lucha Libre high flying style that has been his trademark.
