could be that. But, I remember something about him shaving his head. Because, competitively, he didn't start that until 96. He did shave his head in 94...there were pics in Hardtimes in a 94 Ironman of Mike Matarazzo pretending to lick Flex's bald head.
Mattarazzo & Flex used to live in the same Duplex back in 95/96. Flex had one side, Mike had the other side.
Flex said that one night a schmoe was spying in his windows. Flex went outside to kick the guy's ass.... only to find that Mattarazzo got outside first and was annahilating the schmoe
