Flash Funk may not have set the world on fire, but as 2 Cold Scorpio, he was a high flying innovator who danced his way to stardom. He would win the Tag Team belts in WCW, but it was in ECW that he was allowed to shine in singles matches and exhibit other aspects of his personality. The WWE totally dropped the ball on him, packaging him as Flash Funk, but despite his “flashy” attire, his personality was not allowed to shine (though Charles Wright perfected that role as the Godfather a year later). Had the WWE (and isn’t this a theme here) not have dropped the ball with Scorpio, the sky could have been the limit for what he could have achieved there.
