History was made at this afternoon’s ACTION Wrestling & Scenic City Invitational’s joint event, “ACTION Futures Showcase Tournament.”
For the first time in history, women took center stage at the Futures Showcase Women’s Tournament. The likes of Ravenna Vein, Corinne Joy, Clara Carter, Gwen Neodonna, Davina Thorne, Riley Judah, SIGRID, Alexandra Quinn, and Vivian Cross competed in this tournament, with only one being able to etch their name in the history books. That one would turn out to be the “Vampire Baddie” herself, Ravenna Vein.
Vein took home the inaugural Sherrie Barnes Medal. She bested Thorne & Neodonna in the first round match, before going on to the finals and squaring off with Joy & Carter. With her two wins, Vein went a perfect 3-0 this weekend, defeating Thorne in a Coffin Match at Jamesen Shook’s big event on Thursday evening, “Night Zero” to kick it all off.
Vein has one of the brightest futures on the independent wrestling scene. She, along with the names mentioned above, did their part to bring back women’s wrestling to the southeast and gave ACTION a real women’s division to be able even to hold this tournament.
