Former wrestling champion, 2 Cold Scorpio, made headlines after being arrested for a stabbing incident in Kansas City. The 58-year-old, whose real name is Charles Scaggs, claimed that the attack was an act of self-defence.
It all started when Scaggs, who was working as a security guard at Love's Travel Stop, encountered a man who reportedly lit up a cigarette inside the store at 3:40 am. Scaggs politely informed the man that smoking was not allowed inside, but the man became aggressive and responded with foul language.
According to Scaggs, the situation escalated when the man tried to start a physical fight with him outside the store. In the heat of the moment, Scaggs pulled out a knife and stabbed the man, claiming that it was a necessary action to protect himself.
The victim, who remains unnamed, told TMZ that he did not light up the cigarette inside the store and believed that it was already put out before he entered the building. However, he ended up getting stabbed multiple times by Scaggs, causing him serious injuries.
When the police arrived at the scene, they found the victim on the ground with stab wounds in his head, chest, buttocks, legs, and abdomen. He was taken to the hospital and later told the authorities that Scaggs was the aggressor in the situation.
Scaggs was charged with two felonies; first-degree assault and armed criminal action. He was released on bail and has pleaded not guilty, with a court date set for next month.
Scaggs, who also goes by the name Flash Funk, has been in the wrestling industry since 1985. He has competed for various promotions, including WWE, where he gained recognition in the 90s as 2 Cold Scorpio. In 1994, he won the WCW Tag Team Championship with his partner Buff Bagwell, also known as Marcus.
His last professional match was in 2021, where he faced The Blood Hunter in his PCW Ultra debut. Despite his success in the wrestling world, Scaggs' recent arrest has caused a stir among fans and media.
