The Waffle House Sends Its Regards to Scenic City Trios, Plus Watch The SCI!

HOO DOGGIE

Scenic City Trios is about three-and-a-half months out, and the folks in charge have named a third team already. Talk about advance notice. This third team is named Southern Motors, and they will probably end up being one of the biggest hoots there. Torque is the anchor to this squad. He may be the most familiar name to folks in attendance, since he's a veteran of the Southern indies and competed in this year's Scenic City Invitational. The other two guys are Cousin Shaggy and Cousin Cletus, collectively known as the Good Ol' Boys. These guys may be completely unfamiliar, but I talked to Dylan Hales about them, and he had this to say:
the Good Ol Boys enter the ring to the Rednex's "Cotton Eyed Joe," and when they fire up for a comeback the fans chant Waffle House. Cletus is the big one, Shaggy is the small one. There announced weight is calculated in farm animals.
I don't know about you, but that sounds like a goddamn fun team, even if it's a bit on the stereotypical side for Southern lads. Still, I'm fired up to see them. Add in Torque, who's one of the most exciting high flyers you've probably never heard of, and this team has potential to open some eyes. Southern Motors join the Carnies, consisting of Nick Iggy, Kerry Awful, and Tripp Cassidy, and the Viking War Party in the actual tournament this year. Cyrus the Destroyer takes on Gunner Miller in a feature exhibition match as well.

Speaking of all things Scenic City, the first night of the flagship Scenic City Invitational Tournament is up for you to peruse at Powerbomb TV. Now, you can't buy the show a la carte from there, but subscribing to the service not only gets you the SCI night one now and night two when it drops in the near future, but man, you get a whole shitpile of promotions to view on top of it, like International Revolution Wrestling Group, Mexico's second most prominent indie lucha promotion right now after The Crash, C*4 Wrestling, Anarchy Wrestling (Georgia, not Texas), Olde Wrestling, and coming soon, live streams of Beyond Wrestling and full service for NOVA Pro Wrestling, the Beltway's hottest indie promotion around. If you're going to sign up for a new wrestling service, I'd strongly suggest you do this one if you want some variety in your lives.
