The man who was viciously stabbed in an altercation with ex-wrestling star 2 Cold Scorpio is lucky to be alive … with TMZ Sports obtaining horrific images of the aftermath of the June 15 incident.
As we previously reported, the former WCW Tag Team Champion told cops he was working a security shift at a Love’s Travel Stop in Kanas City, Mo. … when an argument with a patron over a cigarette turned physical.
58-year-old 2 Cold Scorpio — real name Charles Scaggs — told authorities he used a knife out of self-defense … claiming the man threatened him and tried to grapple.
The man suffered deep cuts to his head, chest, buttocks, legs and abs in the fight … and was rushed to a nearby hospital for treatment.
Now, we have the visuals of the extent of the injuries … which required dozens of staples and stitches throughout his body.
What’s interesting — we’re told the man was actually a big fan of Scaggs’ growing up … and was completely shocked to run into the wrestler, let alone get in a bloody brawl with him.

Scaggs was hit with two felony charges — first-degree assault and armed criminal action. He entered a not-guilty plea and is due back in court next month.
