* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: When Berlyn debuted, he originally came out [[https://preview.redd.it/t4kp9jw93ik71.jpg accompanied by three bodyguards and a pretty female interpreter named Uta]], who was getting surprisingly popular fairly quickly. Then Uta and two of the bodyguards disappeared about a month into the character's run with absolutely no acknowledgement, leaving only one bodyguard, named The Wall (yes, [[PunnyName Berlyn's Wall]]).

Alexander Wright (born 17 May 1975) is a British-German retired {{professional wrestl|ing}}er and trainer known for his work in Wrestling/{{WCW}} during the 1990s. He signed on with the promotion in 1994 and made his PPV debut with a win over [[Wrestling/TripleH Jean-Paul Levesque (Triple H)]] at ''Starrcade 1994''. Over his time there, he was a 1x WCW Cruiserweight Champion, a 1x WCW World Television Champion and a 1x WCW World Tag Team Champion with [[Wrestling/GlennGilbertti Disco Inferno]] as The Boogie Knights. WWE didn't pick up his contract after buying WCW due to being under contract with AOL Time Warner, so he returned to Germany and retired.

!!"Das Wundertropes":
* ArchEnemy: Wrestling/ChrisJericho comes the closest, having both won the Cruiserweight Championship from him and lost it back to him.
* BaldOfAwesome: After dropping the Berlyn gimmick, he shaved off the mohawk he had from it and left himself with a bald dome.
* BeardOfEvil: He accompanied the shaved head that came with his Berlyn gimmick with a sinister-looking goatee.
* CaneFu: He would often use the cane he carried around as Berlyn as a weapon.
* ClassyCane: He carried a blinged-out cane as Berlyn. Naturally, he would often [[CaneFu use it as a weapon]].
* DelinquentHair: One of the most noticeable changes from his gimmick change from "Das Wunderkind" to Berlyn was that he shaved his hair into a mohawk. He would later shave it completely into a bald head after dropping the Berlyn gimmick.
* FinishingMove: Neckbreaker.
* ForeignWrestlingHeel: In his short-lived Berlyn persona, he proclaimed that Americans were below him and exacerbated his German origin by refusing to speak to the audience in English (despite being well-capable of beforehand), only in German.
* FunPersonified: As a face, best exemplified by how he would always dance to his entrance theme (his dance movies becoming somewhat memetic).
* HellBentForLeather: Always wearing that leather jacket.
* JokeCharacter: When hanging around Disco Inferno.
* RedBaron: "Das Wunderkind" (German for "The Wonder Boy") and "The German Wrestling Machine".
* SinisterShades: One of the dead giveaways that Berlyn was a {{Heel}} was that he wore [[SunglassesAtNight sunglasses indoors]].
* SuplexFinisher: Besides using the neckbreaker as his FinishingMove, he also used a suplex as his finisher; the German Suplex, naturally.
* {{Pun}}: As Berlyn, he had a large bodyguard called The Wall. Berlyn's Wall, get it?
* TagTeam: The Boogie Knights, with Disco Inferno.
* VitriolicBestBuds: With Disco Inferno.
* WrestlingFamily: His father Steven and his uncle Bernie, who played heel manager J.R. Foley's[[note]]John Foley, no relation to [[Wrestling/JimRoss Jim "J.R." Ross]] or Wrestling/MickFoley[[/note]] "son" Athol in Stampede Wrestling.
