Early in his career, Kindred formed a team with Wolfie D, known as The Blacksheep. Flanagan also formed teams with Billy Travis, Nick Dinsmore, and Steven Dunn. Flanagan wrestled one match on WWF Monday Night Raw losing to Brian Christopher; he then wrestled 3 matches in 1999 on WWF Shotgun Saturday Night all in losing efforts. From 1999 to 2002, he was signed to a developmental deal with the WWF/WWE. After being released from WWE, he worked in NWA:TNA as Kobain in The Disciples of the New Church with former partner Wolfie D (Slash). After TNA, he wrestled under the name Slash Venon in IWA Puerto Rico. In 2005, he briefly wrestled in Ring of Honor. He now wrestles on the southeast independent circuit, mainly in United States Wrestling Organization, Showtime All-Star Wrestling and New Era Pro Wrestling, as well as many promotions throughout Indiana. In November 2012, he returned to Ohio Valley Wrestling as a masked man attacking his old rival Trailer Park Trash. On December 5, he was unmasked, revealing that he was working for Josette Bynum to "take out the Trash from OVW".
On August 3, 2013, Flanagan won the OVW Television title and became a Triple Crown winner.[2] However, he lost the title to Elijah Burke on September 11, 2013. In March 2015, during the main event at Hoosier Pro Wrestling, Scarecrow Eddie Felson and Wicked Clown jumped Flash. Then Flash demanded a title match against Double R Rob Ramer (the heavyweight champion), Scarecrow Eddie Felson and Wicked Clown (the HPW tag team champions) vs. him and The Van Zants for the April show.
