The Vikings Invade Tennessee

So, the folks behind the Scenic City Trios tournament, taking place November 18 in the greater Chattanooga area, named a second trio for its inaugural shindig, and it's a doozy. Frank Wyatt, Alex Rudolph, and Jake Parnell, collectively known as the Viking War Party, will be bringing their wild array of violence and pillage to the best six-man tournament on American soil in this calendar year. This tournament will be a reunion of sorts for the Vikings; they haven't teamed together in 2017 yet due to some unfortunate injury luck and other things. It takes a big event to bring a family back together, y'know?

I've only seen the Vikings in action a handful of times, but they're one of the most frenetic teams I've ever seen. They'll bring a manic energy to the ring that I can only imagine is a perfect distillation of real vikings raiding coastal towns and bringing them to heel. I mean, it's been centuries since that was a thing anyway, and at least the Vikings won't be literally killing anyone. I hope.

Anyway, the crazy Nordic invaders will be joining The Carnies in this year's first ever run. Interestingly enough, the two teams have history with each other, but Kerry Awful and Nick Iggy have always been a man down in the past. Of course, Tripp Cassidy will give them ample backup in case the two teams meet during the proceedings. Also on the show, Gunner Miller will battle Cyrus the Destroyer in non-tournament exhibition action. You're gonna wanna be in Chattanooga for this tournament if you can make it. Even with only a quarter of the field announced, well, it's looking like it'll be a veritable hoot.
