C. W. Anderson

C. W. Anderson is the ring name of Christopher Wright, an American professional wrestler born on January 7, 1971, who grew up in North Carolina. He was drafted as a catcher by the San Diego Padres on finishing high school in 1989 but chose college instead, studying computing while playing baseball and softball, and took up wrestling in the 1990s as a weekend sport. He lost his first match on December 4, 1993, wrestling under a mask as El Chico, then adopted the Anderson name as part of a tag team presented as cousins of the Anderson family, winning tag team championships in nine promotions. He opened his own wrestling school in Smithfield, North Carolina, joined Extreme Championship Wrestling in 1999 where he is best known for his work until 2001, and has since worked the independent circuit and made repeated tours of Japan.
