What went wrong? guy should of been a solid midcarder, and the gimmick wasn't that bad. He ended up as a member of the Job Squad. A guy so talented even Stevie Wonder could see he deserves a push.

I could never take the gimmick seriously, it was cute lower carder. They should have just brought him in as 2 Cold Scorpio. Or simply Scorpio which I now realise they probably dropped the 2 Cold in 1998 because of Steve Austin

Great wrestler, fun gimmick, but not much personality or career direction.

I don't think they really expected to do more with him than they did. Enhancement talent guy with, well, flash.

Those boots, while admittedly badass, seemed like they’d be cumbersome to wrestle in.

When you've got the dude being Flash Funk, shit's kinda gone wrong from the start

I stumbled across him doing a moonsault leg drop on youtube in some random match against Christian I think. I have no memory of the insane shit like that he could do back in the 90s at the time.

He was more suited for japan or the wcw mid card with Eddie and Benoit.
Scorp had the body and the work rate to be a top guy, unfortunately he couldn’t cut a promo to save his life.
He also came up with the horrible Flash Funk gimmick.

He never had much of a personality or gave the fans anything to associate with or care about. Hard to take him seriously with shiny boots up to his thighs. I don't remember much about his run except the over the top look and moonsault flips. And funkadactyls long before brodus.

He and Sandman were such a unique but great pairing as a tag team in ECW. I think they could have had something together in WWF

The Tumbleweed! Seeing him bust that out in ECW was insane back in the day. He doesn't get talked about a lot but Scorpio was pulling off some insane stuff that was way ahead of its time. He just couldn't keep his shit together with drugs, I remember seeing video of him at one of those ECW reunion shows and dude was blasted.
