2 Cold Scorpio Pleads Guilty To Second Degree Assault & Armed Criminal Action, Will Be Sentenced In October

An update on the case involving 2 Cold Scorpio.

There is an update on the case involving 30-plus-year wrestler Charles ‘2 Cold Scorpio’ Scaggs. He pleaded guilty to second-degree assault and armed criminal action as part of the agreement that will prevent him from going to trial.

Scaggs was initially charged with first-degree assault and armed criminal action in Kansas City, Missouri. His trial was going to start on August 3rd, but he will now be sentenced on October 9th, 2026.

It was back in June 2024 that Scaggs and another man were at Love’s Travel Stops, where Scaggs was working as a security guard. Scaggs and the individual got into an altercation around 3 AM after Scaggs told him to put out a lit cigarette. The man told authorities that he thought his cigarette was out before he entered the building but later admitted that it may not have been out.

Scaggs claims he told the man he could not smoke inside, and the man asked him what he was going to do about it. TMZ added the following about the physical altercation that ensued:

“During the scuffle, Scaggs told authorities he pulled a knife from his pocket and stabbed the guy in self-defense. The wrestler said the altercation went on for several more moments — and in the squabble, he got in a few more stabs too.  Cops say when they arrived on the scene, they found the guy who was stabbed lying on the ground … bleeding from his head, chest, buttocks, legs and abdomen. They added that he was transported to a local hospital … as he was going in and out of consciousness.  According to the docs, though, investigators were able to make contact with him at the medical facility later in the day … where they say he told them Scaggs was the aggressor in the situation.”

There were several former ECW names who rallied around Scaggs to help fundraise his defense. The likes of The Sandman, Bill Alfonso, and Tod Gordon contributed.
