Scenic City Trios is happening on November 18, and the fifth team has been announced. Kyle Matthews and the Lynch Bros., Joey and Matt, will enter under the name the Nightmare Mob. Matthews is a long-time TWB favorite, and he's perhaps the most seasoned veteran active on the Southern scene. He also wears a mask now, which is odd, but hey, whatever works. The Lynch Bros. both have made hay as a tag team, but Joey Lynch is also breaking out as a singles star. He participated in the Scenic City Invitational and is still alive in the Powerbomb TV Indie Championship tournament. As of right now, I feel like they're co-favorites to win along with the Carnies, Nick Iggy, Kerry Awful, and Tripp Cassidy. The other teams entered so far are the Viking War Party, Southern Motors, and the GymNasty Boys. Additionally, Gunner Miller will battle Cyrus the Destroyer in exhibition action. You can get tickets by contacting Dylan Hales via e-mail (dylanwaco AT gmail DOT com).

Speaking of tournaments down south, the Makin' Towns Classic is scheduled to take place in Nashville on May 12, 2018. What is the Makin' Towns Classic, you ask? Well, it is a single-elimination, one-night women's wrestling tournament. The first name has been announced, and it's one familiar to longtime TWB readers. Delilah Doom, who has made her name rousing Texas and has started getting bookings across the country in the last year, will be the first wrestler entered into the fray. She brings high energy and a lot of underdog spirit to the proceedings. Additionally, the second name will be decided at NOVA Pro Wrestling, DC's premiere indie, when Jordynne Grace will battle Allie Kat at the promotion's September 22 show in Fairfax. Grace, one half of Team PAWG with LuFisto, is a hard-hitting HOSS who has garnered quite the following over the last year, and Kat is another one from the Texas cradle of women's wrestling.

Anyway, the official TWB position on tournament is that they are, by a large margin, good. Both Scenic City Trios and the Makin' Towns Classic ought to be tremendous frames filled with great talent. Anyone who tells you American indies aren't interesting is lying or they're not looking in the right places.
