The REAL Competition at the Scenic City Invitational

BE THERE OR BE SQUARE

The Scenic City Invitational has not only become one of the premiere tournaments in all American indie wrestling, but it has arguably put Chattanooga on the map as a major territory for American graps. Everyone who is someone is chomping at the bit to be booked at Southern Underground Pro, while the Making Towns Classic attracts some of the best female wrestlers around the country. However, for as much as the wrestling will be incredible on August 2 and 3, the real competition will happen after the wrestling tournament is over.

Tap Out: A Wrestling Tribute to Hot Ones will take place after SCI Night 2, and it will be hosted by SUP color commentator Steven McCash. Four wrestlers (at least four wrestlers already) have been announced to compete in a wing eating competition featuring ten sauces. Each sauce will be hotter than the last one, and if this picture is any indication, well, if the baseline is SRIRACHA, then man, these guys are going to be in for a long, long night. The four wrestlers who will be competing are as follows:
  • Daniel Makabe - The technical wizard will find few counters for hot sauce burn that don't involve dairy products or bread.
  • Jaden Newman - JV Jaden will be moving up to the big boy ranks. Will he be able to stand the heat, or will the BRUTALITY SAUCE knock him back down onto the bench?
  • O'Shay Edwards - The big boy hoss of the competition dishes out hard hits in the ring, but can he take the beating that the capsaicin will give him?
  • Nick Iggy - He might be the favorite, given how odd the diets of Carnies, capital or lowercase c, can be.
Now, I'm not sure where the competition will occur. I feel like it'll be at Soddy-Daisy High School, the venue for the actual SCI, but if you want specifics, you should probably ask Mr. McCash himself. Regardless of where it is, it will be a must-attend event, just to see how these big tough wrestlers can handle the heat.
