Weekend Wrap-Up - The ACTION Wrestling Championship Will Be On The Line At Family Reunion

February 11th, 2019

It's Monday which means it's time to review the news and notes from the weekend that was in indie wrestling.

ACTION Wrestling's first event of the year took place in Tyrone, Georgia on Friday, February 8 and it was a notable one. The show, which was a benefit for the Make-A-Wish Foundation, saw Anthony Henry defeat Slim J, Jaden Newman and Cain Justice team up to best AJ Gray and Matt Sells, and AC Mack successfully defend his ACTION Wrestling Championship for the first time against Cam Carter. Mack's win was controversial and a rematch was immediately scheduled for ACTION's 3/22 event. ACTION CEO Matt Griffin announced that the winner of the Mack/Carter rematch will go on to defend the championship against Fred Yehi at IWTV's Family Reunion in Jersey City, New Jersey on April 4.
AC Mack's impressive weekend continued into the next day as he won the 30-man, over-the-top-rope, Scenic City Rumble in Ooletwah, Tennessee on Saturday night, February 9. Mack was the final entrant into the Rumble by virtue of his victory in the Scenic City Scramble match that took place at last years Scenic City Invitational, and won the match merely be entering the ring after all of the other participants had been eliminated. After his win Mack was confronted in the ring by the man he pinned in the Scenic City Scramble, Marko Stunt. The card also saw Joey Lynch defeat Anthony Henry and The Carnies reunite moments after Nick Iggy pinned Kerry Awful in a No DQ bout.
