ICW megathread

[Guest Inno]

Red Lightning could be of use to Ring Of Honor if they wanted to go down the Fake Diesel and Razor route to replace Kevin Steen

[Guest Magic]

This will rule the world. Gutted to miss it.

Jimmy Corkhill that is all.

[Omega 354]

Grado v Sha Samuels annoucned for F+L VII, was a good match at the O2 Academy so that's cool.

[Guest Magic]

Sha is a really great heel. He was up for the fringe and was brilliant.

It's Fear and Loathing Sunday!

 

Here we... here we... here we <beep>in' go!

[Guest Inno]

Dang, what a cracking show! Glasgow was taken over by wrasslin' fans. Points of note for me:

 

-- Some weird dude in the Solid called me a handsome <really bad word> and spent the next 5 minutes attempting hug Magic and Mrs. Magic (Kayfabe, baby!)

-- Omega managed to clear out the puggy in the Solid too

-- The Barras is an awesome venue

-- Hands down, my favourite wrestling show of the year. From any company.

-- the street wrestling outside was also very entertaining

-- A bar full of people singing along to Mark Henry, Hulk Hogan and Grado themes in quick succession is something you don't get often

[Guest Magic]

The weird fella also called my mate Graeme's choice of tee shirt "f*cking disgraceful" which was pretty hilarious :lol

 

The show was amazing. Not a bad segment on the card and without spoling much for anyone who might watch online, I marked the f out for some of the more surprising appearances.

 

I've got ICW On Demand now and can't wait to blast through Fear and Loathing from a fan at home perspective. I've had a quick look at the intro and the venue and production is by far the best I've seen from ICW. They've really pulled out all the stops for this and little things like the bigger stage and ramp and a couple of extra cameras have really made a difference.

 

The only change I would have made is it should have had 6.30 doors and started half an hour earlier as people were having to leave as the final match was reaching the finish.

[Guest Inno]

Yeah, I was sure the Barras would have had an 11pm curfew. They might need to look into that for BarraMania, especially if they're gonna run a post show Wrestlemania event somewhere else.

How was the match with the Sumerian Death Squad? Going to see them face off with the WXW Tag Team Champs in two weeks, can't wait to see Tommy End.

[Omega 354]

Possibly my favorite match of the night looking back on it. SDS are a really good tag team with some great tag moves so you should be in for a treat.

[Guest Magic]

They really are very, very good. Tommy End vs. BT Gunn in August was one of the best matches I've seen in person.

[dsrchris 190]

I'll join in on the Sumerian Death Squad love. They're just so brutal, and all their promos and gimmick work is brilliant. I love the whole occult vibe they go for.

[Guest Inno]

Tommy End scares the living bejeebus out of me, I'll openly admit it. Such a good team together, let alone a gimmick. Add in Mikey from time to time and that may just be my new favourite faction in wrestling!

[Guest Magic]

I spoke to him a bit in London, very sound guy.

[Guest]

Bugger, Tommy End got a concussion this past weekend and won't be there next week. So no Sumerian Death Squad for me. I'm sad. :sad:

[Paul 584]

I so need to catch a show next year.

[dsrchris 190]

Bugger, Tommy End got a concussion this past weekend and won't be there next week. So no Sumerian Death Squad for me. I'm sad. :sad:

 

It's not a concussion, he took a huge bump and knocked his spine about. He was hoping he'd still be able to make the shows, but after consulting a physiotherapist he's been told he's got to stay off his feet for the next 10 days, then he's got a bit of rehabbing to do before he can start to wrestle again.

 

I hope he mends up quick, he's the champion at a show I'm supposed to be commentating on in December. :D

[Guest]

Oh I just read what WXW had to say, something along the lines of a concussion and 2 bruised vertebrae. Still a good card I've got but still a little bummed too. Anyhow, think I may have to make my way down to the 16 Carat Gold Tournament in March to catch a glimpse of Europe's best and maybe a few from Japan and America.

 

... Oh carry on as you were, this is of course the ICW thread. :D

[Guest Inno]

Insane Fight Club 2 about to start on BBC Scotland in a couple of minutes :D
