Fancy a splash of WCW? You got it.

Together, the George Michael-esque Marcus Alexander Bagwell and 2 Cold Scorpio were one of the most underrated tag-teams around. They had good chemistry, always worked solid matches and looked to be something WCW top brass could keep going for a while. So, of course, they didn't.

When Scorpio left the company, Bagwell went on to form two duff tag-teams. First, he joined up with The Patriot as 'Stars & Stripes' (patriotic fluff), then formed the 'American Males' with fellow model lookalike Scotty Riggs. Their get-up and entrance portrayed them as male strippers.

Over in so-called WWF dreamland, Scorpio was randomly cast as a happy-go-lucky pimp (?!) called Flash Funk. That didn't end up clicking, probably because the promotion's output was aimed as kids and that limited what the guy could do with his new character. The Godfather, he was not.
