The gimmick was terrible, and his gear was even worse. The WWF never asked anyone to take him seriously, and so no one did. If he'd come in two years later, he might have been given the pimp gimmick that Kama Mustafa got, or have been a member of the Nation of Domination, and been more successful. Hell, a tag team of him and D'Lo could have been pretty cool.

As a kid, I loved Flash Funk. He was different and colorful, and he was one of my favorite parts of Shotgun Saturday Night. I still remember when Walmart first opened in my town, which feels like ages ago, I went to the figure section and found that awesome shiny blue Flash Funk Jakks BCA figure. Back then, most of us weren't getting figure news online, so it was a total surprise to me. One of the last times I recall being surprised by a release, as I was online shortly after getting news at Figure Zone and AFR.
Anyway, I get why older fans didn't like the shtick, and it probably wasn't that great, but I enjoyed it for what it was.

His debut was weird wrestling in a no contest 8 man Survivor Series match, but that moonsault to the outside was breathtaking to see in 1996.

I think Flash was inserted into a multi man match and then not given much build after that.... he kinda fizzled out before he had any chance to take off.
Too bad I think less Price and more flashy pimp and that could have worked.

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. Remember seeing him doing the 450 in WCW growing up. That was my go to move when I went on the trampoline

His tag team run with Terry Funk in mid 1998 was fun but sadly brief.
