Former WWE, WCW, and ECW star 2 Cold Scorpio has received a six-year prison sentence following his guilty plea in an assault case in Kansas City, Missouri.

However, a provision in the court’s ruling could offer the wrestling veteran an opportunity to return to life outside prison sooner than expected.

According to PWInsider’s Mike Johnson, court records confirm that Scorpio, whose real name is Charles Scaggs, was sentenced on Oct. 9. The 60-year-old pleaded guilty to second-degree assault and armed criminal action charges stemming from a June 2024 incident.

The ruling includes a requirement that could prove crucial to his future.

The court ordered Scaggs to complete Missouri’s 120-day Shock Incarceration program. The intensive, structured program allows the court to assess an offender’s conduct before deciding whether to grant probation.

Upon completion, the Missouri Department of Corrections will submit a report and recommendation to the court. If Scaggs meets the program’s requirements and the judge approves probation, he could leave prison and serve the remainder of his sentence under community supervision.

However, probation isn’t guaranteed. If Scaggs fails to complete the program successfully or the court declines to grant probation, he could remain incarcerated for the rest of his six-year term. A further update is expected in early 2027.

The case dates back to June 15, 2024. Scaggs was involved in a confrontation at a Love’s Travel Stop in Kansas City while working as a security guard. The incident reportedly escalated into violence, leaving another man with multiple cut and stab wounds. Scaggs maintained that he acted in self-defense before eventually reaching a plea agreement.

His legal troubles intensified in September 2026. He was taken into custody after admitting in court that he had brandished a firearm while out on bond. The judge found that he had violated his bond conditions and presented a public safety concern.

Best known to WWE fans as Flash Funk and elsewhere as 2 Cold Scorpio, the veteran now faces a difficult chapter away from the ring. While the six-year sentence establishes the stakes, the outcome of the 120-day program could determine what comes next.
