KC Spinelli Enters ECWA Super 8 Chickfight
The all-women’s one-night tournament comes to Delaware on March 16.
The Wrestling Estate has learned the next name slated for this year’s ECWA Super 8 Chickfight Tournament.
KC Spinelli is scheduled for the one-night tournament on March 16 at the Asbury United Methodist Church in New Castle, Delaware.
Entering her 10th year in the sport, the Canadian grappler has honed her craft all over the globe. Over the past year, Spinelli has picked up wins against a who’s who of women’s wrestling, such as Tessa Blanchard, Kelly Klein, Veda Scott and Holidead. Rumor has it she may have even appeared on Impact as Su Yung’s Undead Maid of Honor.
Currently, she holds the Acclaim Pro Wrestling Women’s Championship and British Empire Women’s Championship.
Spinelli is the seventh participant announced for the ECWA Super 8 Chickfight, joining an elite class of athletes. Last week The Wrestling Estate reported that Heart of SHIMMER Champion Zoey Skye, a 12-year veteran of the squared circle, had been selected for the tournament.
The Wrestling Estate previously reported that Impact Wrestling superstar Scarlett Bordeaux, Gemma Cross and Leyla Hirsch are scheduled for the ECWA Super 8 Chickfight.
Cross is a familiar face to ECWA fans, having recently challenged Women’s Champion Miss Jasmine and Sammi Pandora in a triple threat at ECWA Toys For Tots in December. Meanwhile, Hirsch brings an international flavor to the tournament, hailing from Moscow, Russia. Her amateur wrestling background has made her a lethal weapon in CZW over the past year.
Other participants already announced are Missouri native Quinn McKay – an ex-Roller Derby competitor who hones her wrestling craft in Illinois-based AAW – and Women of Honor standout Gabby Ortiz, a Philly product of the Monster Factory and Ring of Honor Dojo. In 2017, Ortiz was the subject of a Philly.com profile piece that covered her balance as Mayor Jim Kenney’s receptionist by day, and pro wrestling starlet by night.
After laying dormant in 2018, the ECWA Super 8 Chickfight returns for its fifth year, finding a new home in Delaware. Similar to its male counterpart – the 23rd annual men’s Super 8 takes place April 20 – this tournament has become a launching pad for undiscovered, up-and-coming talents to get noticed throughout the industry.
Look no further than the three previous tournament winners: Impact Wrestling and Women of Wrestling star Tessa Blanchard was the inaugural winner in 2014, followed by current NXT signee Deonna Purrazzo winning back-to-back the next two years and then Karen Q, who competed in the second Mae Young Classic, took home the trophy in 2017.
