Flash paper is much more unreliable than powder (see: Hogan/Warrior II).

Powder sounds marginally cooler, although its not really a huge difference

Powder's more practical, though fireball looks cooler. I want to see somebody use some type of intense flash device in a match, as its quick, easy to get rid of, and leaves no evidence for the ref. Plus you can eventually have the cheesy but cool spot of someone holding up a mirror in defense and thus the light flasher gets hit with their own device. Sounds cool enough. A disposal camera flash in the face would be perfect, plus the worker could just sell the bewildered pictures for a quick buck. Or a laser pointer, though that'd be lame.

Would have been great for MNM back in the day, though Melina could use it today and have it fit to her character.

Oh wait, that would of been clever....

Powder is a lot less likely to get botched or get someone hurt. Plus it is more of a way to cheat just to win a match, whereas a fireball is something that would more be done in a long standing fued or something because of the hatred

I'd love for a huge Pay Per View main event, the face has someone set up for his finisher. A flash grenade is dropped from the heel and he covers his eyes. The flash wears off of the crowd and they see the referee counting the three for the heel.

If you watch the matches where powder was thrown, and think of the time frame. You'll think powder is really booger sugar..cocaine if you will.
the doomsday cage match, where Brutus Beefcake proceeds to unleash cocaine fury into the face of every member of the dungeon of doom and IV Horsemen is hilarious if you imagine that the powder is really "cocaine"

Fireballs. Come on, the powder leaves so many marks, it's hard to believe that the referee DIDN'T notice it. Fireballs leave a little bit of odour in a small venue, that's about it.
