Was at the show last night, and Get Yer Rat Oot last month.
Absolutely brilliant, my favourite wrestling promotion in the world right now.
The Falls Count anywhere match last night with Jester, Havoc and Mary Dobson was insane, Dobson stole the show with her performance.
Was also great to see The Sumerian Death Squad and Fergal Devitt, both of whom were brilliant!
Also, the Whiplash and Dynamite match from last month is the best I've ever saw live.
I get the impression that BBC will be filming these events for a documentary, which has been confirmed, to air in the the run of to the event proposed by Frankie Boyle to take place next year. Would make sense.
probably right but if you watched that clip they just posted on Youtube, their owner mentioned getting a suit and shaving for the BBC. I'm sure he was in character, talking about selling out.
But I thought it could also have something to do with having a BBC show. I mean, one documentary doesn't mean you've hit the big time right?
So I'm hoping it could really big a tv show, from what I hear things aren't so repressed when it comes to TV in the UK right? Not as much as in America anyway. I saw Robert Webb's junk on that mitchel and webb look so I'm thinking ICW won't have to tone things down so much?
Anyway, you're probably right, too much to ask for.
Been hesitant to post here for fear of spoilers. Scrolled down real slow on this page, almost bailed when Blacky mentioned Jester, hee hee...
Do we have a spoiler policy in this thread?
Anyhoozle, yeah, I too wonder how big this can get. This is not a WRESTLING story. This is a PERFORMANCE ART story. I'm willing to bet that most of the ICW crowd don't go to ICW because it's a wrestling promotion, I think they go because it caught on from word of mouth. Kind of like wrestling in the golden era and in the 90's, I think it became a part of pop culture. Over there in Scotland, I think it's become part of their counter culture.
And that's why I agree with Professor Jones, it is scary to think of how big this promotion can get. 1,000 plus people is HUGE!!! Very few promotions get that.
Anybody know if a DVD is coming out or when World Wide is coming back?
Oh man. ICW looks like something special. Great energy and all, looks like a lot of fun to be a part of. Ever since I first saw ICW videos, I fell in love with Grado. It's Yersel! Dude is seriously a trip. His promos and vids on YouTube fucking slay. It takes me a couple of views to understand everything he's saying but everything down to his facial expressions, body language, comedic timing, it's just all there in spades!
Thanks, good to know! I'm looking forward to it. Sorry to keep asking questions their an official title for the doc or is it for a series? I've been digging around but all I came up with is "The British Wrestler" and I'm assuming that's a totally different doc.
There's a few things you should check out on Youtube.
First, "The Trials And Tribulations Of Grado" is a wee 15 minute video showing Grado trying to get booked on ICW.
Then "The British Wrestler" focuses on various British Wrestlers, but mostly Grado's ascension. Also a lot from Mikey Whiplash and Mark Dallas (ICW owner).
"Grado vs Colt" parts 1-3 (or 4?) is Grado and Colt Cabana larking around.
Finally "Insane Fight Club" again focussing on Grado, Mark Dallas and Jack Jester.
After that, I'd say go through all of Worldwide from start to finish
Very excited to have Worldwide back. The new format is unfortunate, only clips instead of a full match. But can you blame them? This is a product ten times better than any other promotion in the world. (Just my opinion of course.)
I'm not hot on the new format. The DVD they were talking about was the Square Go. They vacated the belts because Sumerian Death Squad were owed a title shot from forever ago against the Buckies, and they had no real way of booking it now NAK are champs, so vacating the titles and having a triple threat ladder match between the Buckies, NAK and SDS seemed fairest. And will be fucking incredible.

The new DVD is the Square Go! DVD, which isn't out yet. The last 3 major events were filmed for the BBC documentary, so won't be released until after that has aired on tv, if they are even releasing DVDs. Would be silly not to.
Just the plain logistics of it all.
Just a bit of an 'insider' info for you, the tag titles were vacated because they are being replaced by new titles. As you may have seen, the faceplates had been defaced by the NAK.
I understand that it may be frustrating not to view the whole matches, but they only serve as teasers, sadly.
I think I know the issue you are on about with the tights. I just get the impression that it's more an underwear issue rather than the quality of the tights.
That's weird because Kirkwood says we have the option of waiting two weeks for the next match or buying the DVD. Do you know when it's being released. I don't want Billy thinking I'm a cheap bastard.
I liked the tag belts, I can see why they'd want new ones though. Hope they don't change the singles belt.
I don't know bro... I think our boy, Coffey was hanging brain in that bout. Ain't no underpants to speak of. He's duking it out like Scottish ancestors of old.
BTW: is SWA still doing that internet show they used to do? Haven't checked in on them in a long while.
The ICW documentary on BBC last Tuesday. Please watch it on the iPlayer while it is up and tell the BBC your opinion to support British wrestling. Afterwards, here are the links:
That's the second time someone told me I had to follow the facebook of a company. I will definitely start doing that. Maybe I'm just an old fuddy duddy but it seems weird to me that facebook will have something that the official website doesn't. But I guess that's the world we're living in.
It does work though, bad guy Vs. bad guy. The crowds are always wicked into it. Bonus points if your ear falls off.
They're just a small company and most of their cash will now be tied up having about 8 future venues booked. They only do limited release runs anyway. I'd be interested in seeing them hooking up with a digital distributor to release their events online.
So, in a move that I had expected to happen, Dallas announced today that when ICW hits 10k subscribers on Youtube, they'll be able to host on-demand content at a fee. This means they'll likely have all their events thus far available for purchase through Youtube. Smart move.
Got my Tickets in the post for Newcastle today :mark:
Hopefully the four weeks fly over. Oddly I have a row and seat number on the ticket but it also said Unreserved. I thought ICW would have been standing?
No idea about the ticket. Could be that the Newcastle venue has seats?
