This could be the origin story of the new Flash.
Yeah, except the Crisis on Infinite eat the doesn't happen for a little while
Wally became Kid Flash long, long before Crisis. In fact, he debuted in 1959, just three years after Barry Allen himself. He was Barry's sidekick for a long time, as well as a member of the Teen Titans. When Barry died in Crisis, Wally was "promoted" from Kid Flash to the Flash.
Yeah, i know... he's also supposed to be white & his nephew-in-law
But I was just replying to the idea of Wally replacing Barry already -- and in-show evidence says now.... hmm. who was trying to do a Teen Titans show? Could there be some network crossover....?

But that's the point. They aren't obligated to do what the comics did. They can mix and match elements all they want. So there's no reason Wally's origin story needs to be attached to the Crisis.
Whatever the real Flash's background might be, I doubt he'll be wearing the exact same costume. The flashbacks we've already seen made it fairly clear that the helmet at least belonged to Zoom's dad.
If Wally does get powers, he's unlikely to be referred to as Kid Flash since Barry and he are much closer in age, so what will they call him? If they are mixing up comic elements, my money's on Impulse.
Alternatively, with his racing background: Turbo or Torque

I like the suggestion that The 1990s Flash got stuck on Earth 2 at some point, and to not interfere with the existing Allens, he took the alias Jay (from his deceased brother) and Garrick (his mother's maiden name.)
I am moving soon and have been throwing out a lot of old VHS tapes. I was happy to see my tapes of Tom Cavanagh's first series ED still work. Last time I tried they did not work at all. It's never gotten a DVD release and only briefly rerun on TBS. I really love that show, it was pleasant surprise to see him on the Flash went it started. Which I watched anyways a fan of the character.
