Odd finish to this one. When the Flash saves a bunch of people from a collapsing building, he finds that construction companies are being forced to buy substandard material while the sellers make a hug profit. The Flash manages to trace the material to Mr. Jenkins.
That's when Jenkins flees to the world of professional wrestling. Yup, he's going to wait out the manhunt by catching a few matches at (not quite) Madison Square Garden. So the Flash chucks one of the scheduled wrestlers out of the locker room window and takes his place.
From there he spots the one person trying to leave the arena, so he drags him back into the ring and tosses him up and down until he confesses.
