They did for a lil bit in 98  Oh good, so my mind isn't totally slipping... That pairing makes sense, not sure why they went with the change to Berlyn. Yep pretty tough to go a serious character after doing that just a year prior.I remember on his debut the fans were calling em Alex Wright so right there you knew it was doomed |

The best part of Wright’s “Berlin” character was the that it eventually led to the famous “THATS THE WALLLLL BROTHER!” promo.

Always liked Wright, even as a kid. Roma never did anything for me and its still strange as hell knowing he was a member of the Horsemen.If Roma was pissed about the booking, take it up with Flair and Bischoff. Wright was a kid and didn’t have any say in it. No, he didn’t physically hurt Wright, but he still took advantage of him during the match. Though at this point Roma didn’t give any f***s and never really did anything on a big stage again. Still boggles the mind 30 years later. I liked Roma best in P & G and Pretty Wonderful. Played the cocky heel to a tee Never big on Alex Wright but he was entertaining as the goofy heel in the late 90s i liked P&G, Young Stallions & Pretty Wonderful! |

I met Alex and Dave Sullivan the night before the PPV at a buffet place in Glen Burnie (about 10 mins from Baltimore) call Horn & Horn. It was my birthday and both wrote happy birthday on their promo photos. My pop even took a video which is somewhere. I lost the photos though. Wildcat Willie was there too. It was so exciting!
I'm editing my original post because I'm trying to think positively though I did greatly dislike what Roma did to Alex.

Was never big on the Stallions but they were no doubt a nice addition to that great WWF tag scene of the late 80s |

But then the Columbine massacre happened & they kept him off TV for quite a while. I think he also suffered a head injury or a really bad concussion. |

I always liked Roma in the WWE. And in WCW as Pretty Wonderful, but not as a Horsemen. Wright > Roma Roma was only a name because of Hercules Yeah, but Wright was never a name...  He was missing a neon cowboy hat.  |

Wouldve been interesting in 96 if Roma was still with the company if they reunited the Stallions with Powers No way they win the belts but couldve been a nice addition to the tag scene Can you imagine them teaming together with Roma wearing his hideous singlet from the Alex Wright match and Jim Powers in his singlet? |
