ICW Fight Club #003 Review

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen, I am your Local Hero Cameron Mcdonley, and I'm coming at you with another review. This time, it's ICW's latest edition of Fight Club, episode #003. Although there was only one match on this episode unfortunately, it was a very good one and a hot crowd was undoubtedly on hand, so let's discuss this shorter 30 minute episode of what was a great show!

The show starts with the announcement of the main event as Noam Dar, Grado and Sha Samuels, collectively known as the Pinky Party, making their entrances to a raucous crowd in The Garage! The crowd was singing their theme and adding new lyrics for the better part of 10 minutes until Red Lightning made his appearance. He tried his best to kill the crowd dead, as he hated that these three were getting more attention than him. Drew Galloway and Jack Jester were introduced to a unanimous negative reaction from the fanbase on hand this evening. Lionheart comes out after that and everybody sings about how he is a "faggot".
Rating: 4/5

The match itself was overwhelmingly entertaining, as the crowd's usual vocal insanity was kicked up a noticeable notch for this match. This had a serious fight feel to it and everybody was on their game for this match. Noam Dar kicked as hard as I've ever seen him kick ever, he brought it on his last night in ICW with every strike and technical maneuver he applied. Drew Galloway still has the most beautiful Belly To Belly Suplex in the business today by far. I have seriously never seen a wrestler suplex another with as much tenacity as he did, or at least not since Scott Steiner. Jack Jester was as phenomenal as usual and Lionheart inadvertently connected with a breathtaking dropkick, leaving him out of the match for a considerable amount of time. The match started to break down, everybody exploded out of the gate with their finishes one after the other until Sha Samuels leveled every heel in that ring with a spinebuster. He was setting up for a package piledriver on Jester when Kid Fite shockingly returned! Fite grabs a chair and hits him twice in the head, allowing Lionheart to end the match with a sickening sit-out piledriver for the pinfall victory. Outstanding match, I had way too much fun watching it.
Rating: 4.5/5 

Preceding this intense contest, the Black Label laid out everyone in the ring, took Dar and Grado out of the ring, leaving Samuels at the mercy and unwavering hate of the people standing above him. They kept assaulting him with a steel chair on every part of the body, including the repeated chairshots to the pinky. Red Lightning then grabbed a mic, making a gutsy challenge to his sworn enemy, the other 50% owner by the name of Mark Dallas. He proposed a 5 on 5 winner take all match for Fear And Loathing IX at the Hydro on November 20th! Whoever wins that match, if Dallas accepts, will obtain 100% control of Insane Championship Wrestling....
Rating: 4.5/5

There you have it ladies and gentlemen, I had the pleasure of sitting through another fun ICW show, and in my opinion, was well worth watching instead of the Presidential Debate. I hope you all have a swell night, and if you're in the United States like myself, try not to fall asleep to the idiocy of the debate..

This is the Review Guy, Cameron Mcdonley saying Goodbye Everybody!

ICW Fight Club #002

Welcome back ladies and gents, I am the "Local Hero" Cameron Mcdonley, ready to crack my neck and cash some checks with this latest review. This time, we revisit the garage for more swearing, heavier violence, and a doctor's dose of chaos as we review ICW Fight Club, Episode #002! So before we anger Red Lightning and the Black Label, let's get straight to the action on this perfect storm of a Monday night!

After the blood pumping, hype building and just downright amazing intro with some exquisite metal music, we waste no time taking it to the ring as we get ready for an ICW Tag Team Championship match! The announcer didn't even have a chance to speak before Pee Wee made his presence felt and announced the New Nation to the ring as their manager as they face the Local Fire, Joe Hendry and Davey Blaze. The match went on for a solid 10 minutes, There were some really good technical moves and working over body parts, but the contest didn't go too far, as Polo Promotions jumped the barricade and rolled into the ring with security blocking them off from both teams. The 50% ICW Owner, Mark Dallas grabs a mic and says he'll take violence and profanity, but not legalities, so he makes a decision. Polo Promotions will make their in-ring returns to ICW in two weeks on this show when they face the Local Fire in a ladder match for the Undisputed Tag Team Championships! However, that was not all, as he stated another bombshell, announcing that The Dudley Boyz will face the new tag champs at Fear And Loathing!!
Rating: 3.5/5

We come back to a short replay, retelling the events of Shug's Hoose Party when Mikey Whiplash, despite winning the main event against Trent Seven, pulled out of the Fear And Loathing title match and kick-started a hashtag #Trent4Hydro . We then cut to the ring, where Trent Seven makes his way down the aisle to a massive ovation from the Glasgow crowd. When he stepped into the ring, the look in his eyes told the whole story.

He means business, as he made his intentions short and sweet by calling out Wolfgang, the World Champion! Instead, we get the shocking return of Massimo, who we have not seen since his upset win over Douglas Williams at Barramania II. He cuts the typical promo, professing his case about how he deserves the top spot in Insane Championship Wrestling before the two traded strikes to start the match, 10 minutes of fist-to-fist brutality is displayed here, as these men use their already battered bodies as weapons in this fight, not allowing any time to breathe until Trent leveled his Italian adversary with a ring-shaking Trend Setter for the victory in a very hard-fought battle. As ICW fans speak their admiration for his wrestling ability louder than ever, it remains to be seen if this young man will get the opportunity of a lifetime at the Hydro Arena!
Rating: 3.5/5  

Again, we get another show of excellence from ICW in this installment of Fight Club, as each match is greatly physical and very, very entertaining. I am undoubtedly excited beyond belief for this next month, as we get what should be an awe-inspiring ladder match and the return of Team 3D! Things are looking ever brighter for this company and I have full optimism that it will get even better before this year comes to a close!

Full Show Rating: 4/5 


As much as I personally enjoy these reviews, this particular one must come to a somber end. Tomorrow night, I will review Monday Night RAW, so I urge you to be on the lookout for that. With that said, this is Cameron Mcdonley saying goodbye everybody!

ICW Fight Club Review: Episode #001

It's me, it's me, it's Cameron Mcdonley! Welcome back to another review,this time for the inaugural episode of a show that is filled with 40 minutes of crude humor, immoderate language and violence that would make everyone at the Parents Television Council slam their heads into a wall! That's right, we're taking a look at ICW Fight Club! So sit back, relax, and strap in your seat restraints for what should be a wild ride!

Heavy metal music blares into your living rooms as the show begins with an intro fit for a company named Insane Championship Wrestling! Billy Kirkwood introduces the audience at home to the show while the crowd screams multiple inane profanities! God, I love this promotion!

Our first match of the night is a continuation of the most personal feud in ICW history, as former best friends Stevie Boy and BT Gunn go face to face once again. This time, these two don't hold anything back, as every strike, hold, move and chairshot was done with unbelievable malice. It seriously had to be the longest 15 minutes of their lives! Sheer ruthlessness was shown by both men, but none more than by Stevie Boy as he lodged his former mentor's neck in a chair, stomped on it and did a sadistic variation of a con-chair-to, leaving him absolutely incapacitated. As if it wasn't personal enough, this rivalry has escalated to the point of no return!
Rating: 4.5/5 

Time was not wasted for a commercial break, as Red Lightning and the ICW Heavyweight Champion Wolfgang make their entrances to the ring. Mark Dallas interrupts his business associate and asks for somebody from the back to accept Wolfgang's open challenge. Out of all people to make the challenge, the concussed DCT begs to face the champion, although he is not medically cleared. Both principal owners of the company rejected his request, but he would have none of it, as he forced the hand of both to make the match by blindsiding Wolfgang. That was the only time he would get offense on the "Big Bad Wolf" however. It was 25 minutes of destruction with the challenger being fed to a carnivore. Shot after shot was focused on the head, and it wasn't before long until the referee stopped the match, declaring Wolfgang as the remorseless winner. Red Lightning and his mercenary walk through the curtain almost amused at DCT barely having the wherewithal to stand. It seems clear that this new era has changed the life of Mark Dallas for the worse, as he now has a liability on his hands.
Rating: 4/5 

It was definitely a great hour of wrestling television, and I hope this show will not be short-lived, as I want to see more of this phenomenal promotion. Great wrestling, entertaining storylines and excessive profanity seems to be the perfect fit for this show.

Full Show Rating: 4/5 

I have to reluctantly state that this effectively concludes the review. I am Cameron Mcdonley, and I will see you tomorrow afternoon for a review of ICW Fight Club #002. So long everybody!!
