10 ECW Originals that were underutilized in WWE

From the top of ECW to WWE's Hardcore ranks

#6 2 Cold Scorpio

Not t
Not that funky

2 Cold Scorpio had a pretty successful two-year stint with ECW. An amazing performer, Scorpio was a four-time ECW TV Champion and feuded with top stars such as Tazz, Shane Douglas, Sabu, and Mikey Whipwreck. WWE saw this in him and as apart of ECW's business relationship with WWE, they bought Scorpio out of his ECW deal.

Scorpio debuted for WWE at the 1996 Survivor Series as Flash Funk. His gimmick involved dancing, wearing a zoot suit, and being accompanied to the ring by his "Fly Girls" or "Funkettes". The gimmick didn't take on the response WWE wanted and he later reverted to Scorpio in 1997. He didn't see much success after as he became a member of the J.O.B Squad. He was released from WWE in 1999.

He signed a new contract with WWE 7 years later in 2006 at 41 years old but was released the following year before ever making a return to TV.
