Correa was also a member of the Puerto Rico men's national basketball team[1] for many years and participated in a number of international competitions.
[3] Around this era, Correa's name garnered further popularity around Puerto Rico when WAPA-TV's famous announcer, Manolo Rivera Morales, invented a phrase he used sometimes when Correa had the ball on his hands during Titanes televised basketball games, in which Rivera Morales would exclaim "Wes!
In 1989, Correa returned to the Titans, surpassing the 900 points mark for the first time, with 926, and contributing 247 rebounds and 57 assists, for averages of 30.9, 8.0 and 1.9 respectively.
[5] The 1991 BSN season saw Correa's scoring climb a bit as he scored 776 points but his numbers otherwise declined as he pulled 174 rebounds (staying short of the 200 rebounds mark for the first time in five seasons) and had 62 assists, 24 less than the year before, achieving averages of 26.8, 6.0 and 2.1, respectively, in 29 games played.
1992 was the first year since 1983 in which Correa played 33 games in a season for the Titanes, and he again surpassed 800 points, scoring 865 with 212 rebounds and 82 assists for averages of 26.2, 6.4 and 2.5 in those categories, but in 1993, at the age of 31 already, his numbers began a steady decline.
An injury in 1995, however, underlined Correa's career decline, as he was only able to play in 7 games, scoring 89 points with 36 rebounds and 15 assists for averages of 12.7, 5.1 and 2.1.
1996 saw him almost complete the Titans entire season as he participated in 24 games, for 318 points, 167 rebounds and 40 assists, with averages of 13.3, 7.0 and 1.7.
He was about to participate with the Puerto Rican men's national basketball team at the 1987 Pan American Games in Indianapolis, Indiana when he was tested and his result came positive for a banned substance.
[10] Correa suffered depression following the murder of his son,[11] as well as physical problems stemming from his own stab wound.
