New Bedford Prepares for WWE Icon Scotty 2 Hotty’s Epic Return

"W-O-R-M!"

Get ready, New Bedford, WWE icon Scotty 2 Hotty is headed back to the SouthCoast, and he’s bringing the heat!

The fan-favorite wrestling superstar will be the main attraction at CiscoSlam 4, a live professional wrestling event happening beachside at Cisco Brewers on Sunday, June 29. It marks Scotty’s first appearance in New Bedford in over 25 years, making this an epic homecoming for longtime fans.

SouthCoast wrestling fans still remember the days of the early 1990s, when he wrestled in New Bedford as Scott Taylor and reigned as the New England Pro Wrestling heavyweight champion. Even more so, he's bringing along the next generation – his son and fellow pro wrestler Keagan Garland.
