Former WWF, WCW and ECW star Charles "2 Cold Scorpio" Scaggs, 60, has now officially been handed a six-year sentence, with the court also ordering him to complete Missouri’s 120-day Shock Incarceration program.

Scaggs pled guilty on charges of assault - second degree as well as armed criminal action.

Although Scorpio has been sentenced to six years, the 120-day program gives him a potential path back out of prison much sooner. That also means this case probably isn’t done producing major updates, with another important decision likely coming in early 2027 once the program is completed and the court gets the Department of Corrections’ recommendation.

➜ Matt Borne is someone that most people remember as the original Doink the Clown. He played the character from January 31, 1993 until December 27, 1993.

Borne next appeared as Doink in 1994 in ECW. Shortly afterwards, ECW World Heavyweight Champion Shane Douglas, criticized Vince McMahon for turning a talented wrestler like Borne into a comic relief character, and claimed that he knew how to bring out Borne's full potential. Borne then changed his ring name to Borne Again and continued wearing the clown suit, albeit without the wig, wearing a minimal amount of face paint, as well as growing out his hair and beard. After beating his opponents, he would make them dress in clown outfits. However, his tenure with the company was short-lived due to personal problems.

"Borne Again" was a dark, psychological gimmick. It is widely remembered as one of ECW's greatest missed opportunities due to its short duration and massive creative potential.

Always wonder what if John Cena verse RVD with the thuganomics gimmick! He would have acted differently in that match and would have roasted the crowd! What yall think?
