Only problem with that is 1990s Flash wouldn't be the Future, he would be the Past Flash.

Anyway, I think CW Flash shares mostly the same history as 1990s Flash, except for the actual Flash being absent prior to 2014. The Trickster still terrorized Central City in the 90s wearing the same costume, with the same archive footage being shown.
