Up-and-coming wrestlers from the Southeast and across the nation will face off at Scenic City Rumble, a fundraiser for the East Hamilton High School baseball team.

The event is being held at the school Saturday, Feb. 8. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. with bell time at 7:30.

Promoter Dylan Hales said Scenic City Professional Wrestling has held numerous fundraising events since 2016 for athletic programs at various Hamilton County high schools – such as East Ridge, Hixson, Soddy-Daisy and Sale Creek – and this will be the fourth benefiting East Hamilton. Those events raised tens of thousands of dollars for the schools, including $20,000 for East Hamilton alone, he said.

“In addition to raising money for the schools, Scenic City [Professional Wrestling] has a reputation for elevating local wrestling talent,” said Hales. “If you want to see guys who are going to be on TV in the next year to three years, you should come see this show.”

At least a dozen former competitors in Scenic City events have gone on to wrestle professionally for World Wrestling Entertainment or All Elite Wrestling.
