The big homie 2 Cold Scorpio is underrated as a performer. His offense was dazzling, being about 250-250lbs and doing 450 splashes, shooting star presses and all other sorts of acrobatics is great stuff. If you've never watched or heard of dude you out here losing.

Alot of people were introduced to 2 Cold Scorpio during his short lived WWF run as Flash Funk (the precursor to Earnest "The Cat" Miller, The Godfather and Brodus Clay's dancing/? -like characters)

Scorpio had some great matches while in ECW and WCW (I remember none of his matches in WWF) and I'll post a few here.

    Sooo many Scorp stories to tell. Like that one time where Sandman (of all people) walked out on a balcony, dropped his pants and yelled at the top of his lungs: "2 Cold aint got ? on me"

    The story also goes that he was the one who broke up the infamous Arn Anderson and Sid Vicious fight, that takes some guts

    I figured that it would come up eventually lol. That's why I tried to focus more on his career was Too Cold Scorpio and not Flash Funk.

    Papa Shango could have been better. I think they ruined that character. I did like The Godfather too though.

    Dude had a very effective aerial arsenal and move set.

    I preferred his time and WCW and ECW than his time as Flash Funk in WWF/E.

    Dude could have had a way more impactful career he wasn't used (booked) right.

    Good look on that 6-man tag match. All those different styles in one ring making it work.

    I remember the first time I saw Scorpio, was when he debuted as a surprise partner to WCW World Champion Ron Simmons in WCW.

    http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xa66dp_ron-simmons-vs-catcus-jack-tony-atl_sport

    I know his career in WCW was OK, but he really hit his stride in ECW. That's one thing about Paul E, he put EVERYONE on and made them bigger than the Big 2 could do for them. Plus in ECW, no one's style got watered down, you were allowed to do you and be successful.

    His match against Shane Douglas in ECW for the TV title was classic. Shane powerbombed him on the concrete floor during that match. They dragged that ? out like the World title was on the line.

    Here's the historic 4-way TV title match. Check out Scorpio's aerial moves during this montage. This match was what ECW was all about.
