I was actually at my first show of theirs last Sunday, the Square Go, I was mainly going out of curiosity about wrestling in The Garage but.... I fucking enjoyed it immensely, they've got some great guys in there (Wolfgang is good in an Bam Bam Bigelow type way, Mikey Whiplash is astounding and they've got some great high flyers and the such), like there's none that I saw on Sunday that I'd call bad and the crowd were absolutely rabid.

Put it this way, I've bought my ticket for the March show already, absolutely gagging for it.

Went to my first ICW show in April last year and i have not missed a show since!

The crowd is always great and the roster is packed with talent. Already have my ticket for Tramspotting in a few weeks which will interesting as it is ICW's first full show outside of Glasgow.

I went to PCW's Road to Glory tournament Night 1 last night. It was a very solid, fun show, albeit with some dreadful booking:

Martin Kirby pinned Dean Allmark in a really crisp & exciting opener.

Bubblegum beat April Davids after T-Bone interfered. Loads of heat for Bubbs & Bone's antics.

CJ Banks beat Kris Travis via count out. The finish was first grade horseshit - Bubblegum & T-Bone jumped Trav in full view of the ref. So the champ screwed the former holder by getting him eliminated from the title shot tournament.... but then T-Bone announced he would defend the belt against Travis on Night 2. Sub-Russo nonsense.

Brian Kendrick beat Kid Fight in a good match.

Joey Hayes defeated Paul London in another decent bout. London's ring entrance had to be the longest in wrestling history - he did several laps of the club, performing a building-wide meet & greet. London wound up with a nasty cut above his eye. The result was no surprise, as London is working in Kent tonight.

Noam Dar made Andy Wild tap out. This was dull in places, but ended strong. Dar has embraced his increasing popularity & given up trying to play heel. Afterwards, Dar's quarter final opponent, CJ Banks attacked him, leaving Noam wide open for the one & only Dave Rayne to cash in his Money in the Bank briefcase & win the PCW Cruiserweight title. Rayne is officially the most over man in PCW - the pop for his win was huge.

Carmel Jacobs beat Kay Lee Ray. These two could be seen practising their match on the tv screens while folks were queuing up. Kay Lee Ray wrestles with reckless abandon & pulled off a bunch of risky looking spots before injuring her ankle right before the finish.

Dave Mastiff & Mad Man Manson went to a no-contest after both men attacked the ref in very funny comedy match.

Super Crazy pinned El Ligero in an excellent main event. Crazy is a ring general with a superb sense of pacing & timing, and amazing agility for a man his size & age.

Quarter final brackets for Night 2

Super Crazy vs Bubblegum
Joey Hayes receives a bye
Noam Dar vs CJ Banks
Brian Kendrick vs Martin Kirby

Has anyone heard of this outfit or been to see a show?

House of Pain is run by Stixx aka "The Heavyweight House of Pain." He's a very good wrestler, probably one of the best in the UK because he can do everything.

They have their own training school the House of Pain Academy where Stixx is the head trainer. They train up their wrestlers and if they're good enough, they can go on their shows with some of the more experienced wrestlers. So you get good solid, local wrestling at low prices.

Dave Rayne won the Cruiserweight title? Awesome.

illspirit · 02-02-2013, 11:53 AM

Awesome, I'm looking forward to the show. It'll be my first ever live event. I'll probably see you there.

IPW:UK Revolution 2012
IPW:UK British Cruiserweight Championship Tournament - Finals: Marty Scurll vs. Sami Callihan

What a terrific match. Seriously, this shit rocked. Both guys were incredible, Sami being his usual aggressive self, and Marty playing a great underdog. So many subtle things happened here, especially with Sami on offense. Marty sold his leg very well, but not just that - the overall tone of selling was excellent, from both. Fantastic match, Marty could have awesome matches in TNA.
