World Wrestling Federation (1996-1999)
Scaggs made his WWF debut on
November 17 at
Survivor Series 1996 under the name
Flash Funk. During his time there, his gimmick involved dancing, wearing a
zoot suit, and being accompanied to the ring by his "Fly Girls" or "Funkettes" (years before the WWF would debut an admitted pimp,
The Godfather, who was accompanied by his "hoes").
He later reverted to the Scorpio name re-teaming with WCW teammate and friend Ron Simmons through the summer of 1998. He would soon after become a member of
Al Snow's JOB Squad, but it wasn't a success.
In late 1998, Flash Funk competed in the WWF's
Brawl For All tournament, replacing
Ken Shamrock. However, he lost in the quarterfinals to The Godfather. In early 1999, Scorpio requested time off due to personal problems, but was instead released.
