His aerial attacks won him 4 reigns as ECW World Television Champion and 2 reigns as ECW World Tag Team Champion. He also had a brief reign as WCW World Tag Team Champion, teaming with Marcus Bagwell. Skaggs now wrestles mainly for Pro Wrestling NOAH in Japan as Scorpio, where he has won the GHC Openweight Hardcore Championship. He has also found success in NOAH's tag team division, winning the GHC Heavyweight Tag Team Championships with Vader and later with Doug Williams. During his time in the World Wrestling Federation, Skaggs used a gimmick where he went by the stage name Flash Funk. This gimmick involved dancing, and being accompanied to the ring by his "Funkettes" (years before the WWF would debut an admitted pimp, The Godfather, who was accompanied by his "hos"). He later reverted to the 2 Cold Scorpio name as a member of Al Snow's JOB Squad, but it wasn't a success. In late 1998, Skaggs competed in the WWE's Brawl For All tournament, replacing Ken Shamrock. However, he lost in the quarterfinals, ironically to The Godfather. He was fired from the WWE shortly thereafter for testing positive for marijuana. He has also competed for various American independent promotions such as ROH, 3PW, and the British promotion FWA. He has also competed at Hardcore Homecoming and TWC International Showdown. At a WRESTLE-1 GP show, in October 2, 2005 Scorpio teamed up with Akebono to face the team of Mitsuharu Misawa and Yoshinari Ogawa. On June 23, 2006, Scorpio returned to the United States to wrestle for Pro Wrestling Unplugged at their show titled Exit Sandman. Scorpio defeated PWU World Heavyweight Champion, Trent Acid to win the PWU Heavyweight Championship. Skaggs is married with 6 children and 2 grandchildren. |
