Thursday, World Wrestling Entertainment officials hired ring veteran Charles Scaggs – better known as Too Cold Scorpio or Flash Funk in his WWE days in the late 1990s.

A former ECW Television Champion and ECW and WCW Tag Team Champion, an elated Scaggs spoke with WWE.com and offered his personal thoughts on his return.

“I’m really excited to be back in WWE,� Scaggs said. “I’ve had the opportunity to be all around the world and I’ve learned that if you’re going to be with the best, you may as well compete with the best, and the best is WWE.�

According to Scaggs, he has spent the last seven years in Japan where he competed in the ring with some of the most decorated and feared Japanese stars. Before commencing negotiations with WWE officials, Scaggs earned multiple championships overseas. Scaggs told WWE.com that he looks forward to once again compete in front of the WWE fans – whether it be on RAW, SmackDown or even ECW.

“It doesn’t matter which brand I sign out with,� he declared, “I will be the new person to reckon with. I’m planning on coming back in shape, I’m planning on moving right to the top and, hopefully, trying to take it to another level.�

The risk-taking, high-flying Scaggs is anxious to step between the ropes of a WWE ring, and he assured that when the time is right, he will put the WWE on ice.

“You can expect to see all that you’ve seen before and then some,� he added. “When I come back, I’m going to show the WWE fans that I am too cold.�

Awesome news. From great in-ring performer with WCW and ECW, to Flash Funk, to JVN member, and now back in WWE. What a man.

Really don't care.

Remember the Spyda, dude ..

Mr. Kennedy

I know he had been working dark matches with WWE, but I heard they were reluctant to sign him since he's gained some weight since the last time we saw him on TV.

He's a pretty good wrestler though and should be able to help teach the younger wrestlers

I like this kind of signing. It's the polar opposite to Henry Goddwin's return.

WWE badly needs guys who have been around and worked numerous styles around the world on their roster. The young guys that have been fastracked to Raw and SD rosters need coaching. Not on TV so much, but in lengthier house show matches.

This surely should be an ideal role for guys like Scorpio, Finlay, Regal and (if he can curb his excesses with newbs) Holly.

Yeah, I think you're right.

I seem to remember him tagging with Al Snow in a match against Too Cool (when Too Cool were heels).
