Career
It was back in November 1991 that Flash - then at age 20 - first stepped into a wrestling ring, teaming with Ramblin' Rich Myers against a tag team known as The Outrageous Ones. Since then, it's been an uphill battle for the veteran of the U.S. indy circuit, but as the saying goes, good things happen to good people.[1] In 1995, Flash - working under his real name - competed on a series of World Championship Wrestling house shows and competed against Scott Norton (singles match), Japanese stars Shinjiro Ohtani and Koji Kanemeto (tag-style), and even Chris Benoit (singles). Several of those matches aired on episodes of WCW Saturday Night and WCW Pro. [1] His ECW debut came on December 27, 1997 in Blackwood, NJ, when he lost to Paul Diamond. Then, half a month later on January 16 in Rostraver, PA, Flash happened to be at an ECW show when it was realized that Sabu didn't have an opponent. Suffice to say, officials threw Flash into the ring to do the quick job for the Arabian maniac, which was assuredly quite an honor for the indy veteran.[1] His next ECW gig was on January 31, when he was scheduled to take on the late Big Dick Dudley, only to be attacked as he was walking to the ring by Tazz.[1] "The Human Suplex Machine" then proceeded to take out Big Dick and his Dudley "brothers," Buh Buh Ray and D-Von, before cutting a promo in which he ripped into then-rival Bam Bam Bigelow.[1] Flash wrestled Nick Berk in what was his debut for CZW, a company that he still works for on a regular basis to this day.[1] After working some tag team matches with Rachies partner Danny Rose, Flash received in October of '01 a shot at the CZW Junior Heavyweight Championship.[1] His taking champion Justice Pain to his limit in that match earned Flash a high profile match at CZW's Cage of Death III show, which occurred a few months later (in December) and served as the promotion's debut event at Viking Hall (the former ECW Arena). On that card, he captured the CZW Iron Man Championship in a three-way match that included "Sick" Nick Mondo.[1]
