Upon his graduation from the WCW Power Plant, Funk was moved up to the main roster given a gay gimmick by the ring name of Kwee Wee. During this time was managed by Paisley.[3] Near the end of World Championship Wrestling'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 & Mr. Hyde or The Incredible Hulk.
After WCW folded, Funk wrestled under his own name, developing a copycat gimmick of mimicking other wrestlers. He appeared in World Wrestling All-Stars as "The Funkster", an impression of "The Hulkster" Hulk Hogan.
Funk joined TNA in June of 2002 as Bruce, another "homosexual" gimmick, forming a short-lived tag team with Lenny Lane known as The Rainbow Express.[4] The team split on November 20, 2002. Bruce also competed for the Miss TNA Championship.
In 2003, at the Baltic Brawl event in Helsinki, Finland Funk wrestled a tag team match with Mike Sanders against Elix Skipper and Sonny Siaki. During that match, Siaki botched a split-legged moonsault, and landed on Funk's face knee-first. Funk was badly injured, breaking his eardrum, nose and jaw and also cracking his orbital bone, but made a full recovery.
Funk resumed wrestling on the independent circuit in 2005, including an appearance in Vince Russo's Ring of Glory promotion as Queen Herod.
