On August 3rd and 4th, the 2018 Scenic City Invitational will take place at Soddy Daisy High School. The two year tournament has grown in popularity each of the last 3 years and expects to continue the growth this year as a fundraiser for Soddy Daisy High School athletics.
This tournament features 16 competitors over 2 days with one man ultimately being able to call himself the winner of the tournament. Night One features 8 first round matches with Night Two having the 4 second round matches and a final 4 way elimination match, along with some fun surprises mixed in throughout the night.
This will be the first year since the first year that a former champion has not entered the tournament. Former champion Gunner Miller was injured and will not be able to compete. Retiring competitor Kyle Matthews was also injured and will not be able to compete. Due to former competitors being signed to contracts and multiple injuries, it will truly be a year of opportunity for the 16 competitors that we do have.
The competitors this year are:
2 Cold Scorpio - veteran innovator who starred in Japan, WCW, and WWF(as Flash Funk)
AJ Gray - West TN based up and comer who can be seen all over the United States in any given month
Cain Justice - CWF Mid Atlantic newcomer who has won fans over with matches with Trevor Lee, Anthony Henry, and Fred Yehi.
Corey Hollis - has appeared for WWE, Impact, Ring of Honor, as well as become one of the most hated men in wrestling at PWX.
Curt Stallion - fan-favorite hard striker that travels like crazy and regularly appears for top independent promotions.
Cyrus the Destroyer - regional big man who has recently thrown down with Abyss, Billy Gunn, and a variety of other big men. One of the strongest guys in wrestling.
Darius Lockhart - Quickly becoming the king of the Carolinas. He's a star at PWX, PCW, and multiple other promotions.
Fred Yehi - the former Evolve star just finished a tour of England and is one of the top technical wrestlers in the world.
Gary Jay - cruiserweight that hits as hard as anyone and can also be seen all over the US.
Ike Cross - Robert Gibson trainee from Alabama who has taken Georgia by storm. Amazingly strong and agile.
Jake Parnell - One of the quickest rising stars from the Midwest. He's had some brutal feuds as of late that have gotten him much deserved looks by respected independents.
Joey Lynch - Coming back from an injury that prevented him from becoming an impact player with Evolve, he recently made an appearance on 205 Live.
Kerry Awful - The Carnie, himself! Along with his tag team partner, Nick Iggy, he's wrestled all over the country in the past couple of years - even doing battle with Moustache Mountain. He'll enter the tournament for rare singles action in the biggest singles opportunity of his life. Go check out his Social Media and see who he is calling out....
Mance Warner - Another Midwest standout. He's been a staple at IWA Midsouth over the last year and has established himself as someone who is as entertaining as he is competitive and fearless.
Nick Gage - the CZW Hall of Famer, and current GCW star will do a rare family-friendly appearance. He's one of the scariest guys in professional wrestling. Wish us luck with this!
PCO - The former WWF tag team champion who once stole Bret Hart's jacket is on an EPIC comeback that saw him and WALTER kill each other during WrestleMania weekend. He's got some of the craziest training videos you'll ever see and he flat out looks like some kind of Terminator(and may very well be).
