Professional wrestling career[]

World Championship Wrestling[]

First appeared as Allan Funk, wrestling on World Championship Wrestling (WCW)'s WCW Saturday Night and WCW WorldWide. Soon after his debut, he teamed with "Above Average" Mike Sanders, as the Re-Enforcers. The team dissolved after both men got brought to WCW Monday Nitro. Upon his graduation from the WCW Power Plant in 1998, Funk was moved up to the main roster and given a gay gimmick and the ring name Kwee Wee. During this time, he was managed by Paisley. Near the end of WCW's existence, Kwee Wee developed an aggressive alter-ego named "Angry Alan", whom Kwee Wee would suddenly "turn into" in the event he was angered, a gimmick similar to Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde or The Incredible Hulk. He feuded with Prince Iaukea, Elix Skipper and The Natural Born Thrillers.

He then appeared in World Wrestling All-Stars as "The Funkster", an impression of "The Hulkster" Hulk Hogan.
