ICW Webisode #4

I'm gonna do a full PBP on this one since I was at the show live and just decided to sit and enjoy the insanity, so I didn't really care about how good the matches were. Of course, there were a couple of matches that stood out, but none on this show. On this show is ...

Noam Dar vs. Chris Rampage vs. Brad Fusion ( **1/2 )

Lionheart vs. Rob Cage ( ***1/4 )

BT Gunn and Chris Renfrew vs. Red Lightning and Wolfgang ( ***1/2 )

They open with an awesome promo with Lionheart, Red Lightning and Wolfgang, collectively known as The Gold Label. It goes down yer standard heel promo routine untill some kid gets going with the chanting, and The Gold Label use him as a verbal punching bag for a while, which has all sorts of goodness, capped off with the kid telling Lionheart to remember that he bought him an easter egg. It then becomes standard fare untill Lionheart suddenly blurts out "ARE YOU WEARING A FUCKING PINK SHIRT ?!?!". The stuff with the kid is awesome.

Noam Dar vs. Chris Rampage vs. Brad Valentino

The commentators say that this show is going head to head with RAW if you're watching on a Monday at 2am. This match is representing the Zero G division in ICW, which I assume is for cruiserweights. It can't be for high flyers, because Noam definately isn't a high flyer. Rob Cage is in the corner of Dar. Brad Valentino is actually Brad Fusion. I have no idea what Brad's gimmick is, but it's awesome anyways. Valentino has a big can of protein powder with him. He also looks a bit ... umm ... jakked in the balls department. Valentino takes some of the powder before the match starts to get himself in shape. Good idea. Always smart to get in shape. Anyways, Dar and Chris seem a bit put off by the balls of Brad. Everyone just decides to attack Brad and send him out of the ring. Chris wants a handshake and Noam wants none of that. Noam then with a cheap shot and a right hand and into the ropes goes Noam and he charges down Chris. Nice Dropkick from Chris and Noam heads for the floor and he's raging. SUICIDE DIVE TAKES OUT ROB CAGE !!! Noam attacks Chris, but then he comes back into the match. Baseball Slide from Brad to Chris and then he goes on the attack. Into the ring with Chris. Chris is draped over the apron. Chris is then whipped into a pile of fans. Into the ring they go and that gets a two count for Brad on Chris. Stomps to the back of Chris and then Brad with some raking to the eyes. Chris is whipped into the corner and Brad with a Running Forearm and a Snapmare and that gets a two count. Chris tries to get the audience behind him. Chris comes back with forearms. Brad into the corner and Chris onto the apron. CHRIS TAKES A NASTY BUMP ON THE FLOOR !!! Noam and Brad now into the ring. Noam and Brad then go out and throw Chris back into the ring. Double Back Elbow from Brad and Noam. Snap Suplex on Chris from Brad and the heels are now in full control of this match. Snap Suplex from Noam follows that and he then adds a stomp. Body Slam and a Knee Drop from Brad gets a two count as Noam breaks the count. Chris with a comeback. Noam to kid : "WILL YOU FUCKIN' SHUT UP ?!?!". Noam runs into a boot. So does Brad. Chris with a Double Dropkick and he's back into the match. Forearms from Chris to both men. Chris into the ropes. Neckbreaker/DDT combo on Noam and Brad. That gets a two count. Brad sends Noam into the corner. SNAP RELEASE GERMAN SUPLEX ON CHRIS FROM NOAM !!! BRAINBUSTER FROM BRAD TO NOAM !!! ONE ! TWO ! THRE ... CHRIS SAVES !!! Handspring and over the back from Brad. X-FACTOR FROM CHRIS TO BRAD !!! ONE ! TWO ! THR ... NOAM SAVES !!! BRUTAL LARIAT FROM NOAM TO CHRIS !!! Colin McKay hits the ring and beats down Noam and then goes for a chair. Noam and Cage do a runner leaving Chris and Brad in the ring. JAY DRILLER ON CHRIS !!! ONE ! TWO ! THREE !!!

Okay, so it might not be the big showcase for Zero G wrestling that was advertised on the TV preview, but this was still a good fun wee match. It was almost done by the standards of the tag team formula with Chris playing the babyface in peril with the help of Colin McKay. The action was half decent as well. **1/2

A drunk looking Kid Fite then cuts a video promo on Davey Blaze which is an absolute joy, where he basically mocks Blaze's love for Batista and tells him he's gonna fight him at ICW.

Backstage with Noam Dar and Rob Cage who are approached by The Gold Label. Red Lightning reminds the Absolution team that the Label are their peers, and tells them to buck up their ideas.

William Grange is with his secretary. He cuts a walking promo, which in itself is awesome. CJ Hunter is just sitting around on his mobile though. He just basically says he's gonna beat CJ Hunter. "Believe in me because I believe in you.". Great.

Lionheart vs. Rob Cage

Rob Cage accepted the challenge because he was annoyed by The Gold Label's little backstage show. ICW are usually good at the heel/face thing, but they blurred it big time here with Cage as a face. The camera goes to a bored front row. Not the best shot they've ever done at ICW. Lockup and a Headlock from Cage. Cage charges down Lionheart and then hits the ropes. Rebound Dropkick from Lionheart and then he taunts the crowd. Lionheart misses a charge and ends up on the apron. Springboard Kick sends Lionheart to the floor. Right hands on the floor from Cage but then Lionheart with a series of strikes and then a Body Slam on the floor. Lionheart and Cage then brawl to the back of the hall. We need a camera back there ! Cage slams Lionheart on a table and the camera man makes a move. Double Axe Handle to Lionheart who is down on a table. Lionheart throws Cage over a table. Elbow Drop onto the merch table on Cage and then throws him into a wall. Cage then gets sent into the audience. They really need to let the fans know when someone's gonna get tossed ! They then go back into the ring and Lionheart is in control of the match. Body Slam and then a Slingshot Splash gets a two count. I love the execution on that move. Cage comes back into the match and hits the ropes but he runs right into a Back Elbow and then a kick to the back. Lionheart chokes Cage over the middle rope and then drops a knee in the back. Lionheart hits his AWESOME Leg Drop and that gets a two count. Into the corner and Lionheart runs into a boot. Clothesline and Cage comes back into the match. Slam. RUNNING SECOND ROPE MOONSAULT ... MISSES !!! Yakuza KIck to a grounded Cage. Back Drop Suplex from Lionheart and that gets a two count. Right hands from Cage. Lionheart with a kick but he misses a f**k You Clothesline. SPEAR FROM CAGE !!! ONE ! TWO ! THR ... KICKOUT !!! Grange : "No Lionheart, f**k you !". Samoan Drop from Cage and that gets a two count as well. Hurricane Kick from Lionheart gets a two count. BT Gunn and Chris Renfrew can be seen at the back of the hall at this point. Cage comes back again. Spinning Rock Bottom ... blocked. WHEELBARROW FACE PLANT FROM CAGE !!! ONE ! TWO ! THRE ... KICKOUT !!! Cage is now stalking Lionheart. SUPERKICK FROM LIONHEART !!! ROCK BOTTOM !!! FROG SPLASH FROM LIONHEART !!! ONE ! TWO ! THRE ... RENFREW AND GUNN HIT THE RING !!! CODEBREAKER AND SPINEBUSTER FROM GUNN AND RENFREW !!! ONE ! TWO ! THREE !!! CAGE WINS !!!

This match came across much better than it did live, and in the process, Rob Cage managed to impress the hell out of me. Not that I've seen much of him, but he's charismatic and has a decent look, so the fact that he has the skills in the ring is a big bonus. We need to see more of him in Scotland. Lionheart is Lionheart. Always great to watch. ***1/4

BT Gunn and Chris Renfrew vs. Red Lightning and Wolfgang

This one kicks off before the bell can ring, and Mark Dallas kicks Lionheart away from ringside. Normal rules for this match. We open the match with Wolfgang and Gunn. Gunn has his ring gear on, but Renfrew had no time to get his together ! Lightning into the ring now and into the corner. Clean break from there. Lockup and into the corner again. Gunn gets over Lightning and then hits his High Knee in the corner. Snapmare and then a kick in the chest and a Senton Splash gets a two count for Gunn. Forearm from Gunn and then Lightning into the corner. Gunn onto the apron and a kick to the back of the head. Double Stomp to the back and then a Twisting Suplex gets a two count for Gunn. No wasting time in this battle ! He stomps on Lightning and kicks Wolfgang off of the apron which gives Lightning time to come back with a Clothesline. In comes Wolfgang and a Double Back Elbow on Gunn. Leg Drop from Wolfgang and that gets a two count as well. Snapmare and then a Dropkick to the back of the head from Wolfgang gets a two. Renfrew has seen enough and the Label with work behind the back. Gunn into the corner and a Clothesline from Lightning. Snap Suplex gets a two count from Lightning. Wolfgang tagged back into the match and a Double Axe Handle to the back of Gunn. Gunn gets under Wolfgang and a blind tag. Clotheslines and a Flapjack on Wolfgang. Stomps in the corner from Renfrew. He then shoves Lightning off of the apron. Lightning wants into the ring and in comes Gunn. Poetry in Motion from the babyfaces. Gunn in. Lightning then crotches Gunn. Wolfgang stands on Gunn and then into the corner and Gunn gets set on the top rope. Gunn fights everyone off from up there. DOUBLE WHISPER IN THE WIND FROM GUNN !!! They've actually managed to do the extended formula with both heel beatdowns on the same guy. Renfrew tagged in and Body Slams ahoy ! Clothesline in the corner, but then Wolfgang with the Stinger Splash and then he heads for the top rope. Double Axe Handle knocks down Renfrew. "Vintage Wolfgang !". Wolfgang spits at Renfrew. BRUTAL ALABAMA SLAM FROM RENFREW !!! ONE ! TWO ! THR ... KICKOUT !!! Renfrew takes out the ref. RODDY STRONG GUTBUSTER FROM WOLFGANG TO GUNN !!! SPINEBUSTER FROM RENFREW TO WOLFGANG !!! MICHINOKU DRIVER FROM LIGHTNING TO RENFREW !!! BOOTY SHAKER FROM GUNN TO LIGHTNING !!! LIONHEART WITH A FROG SPLASH TO GUNN !!! REF COUNTS THE THREE !!!

Hey, cracking match ! I don't think the atmosphere at ICW makes it easy to get into good matches, because this was some solid tag team action right here. Most notable for being one of the few extended formula tag team matches which has the heel beatdown on the same babyface two times in a row. The action just hit the ground running and didn't relent. ***1/2

Hey ! The matches were actually quite good. A vast improvement on last time.

EXCUSE ME!??

WWE has FOUR tag teams?!?!

[DomDom]

Here, if you want awesome tag team wrestling, go to Dailymotion and try to find classic stuff from the mid-late 80s.

[DA Baracus]

Why exactly is WWE so down on tag teams? The division used to be so strong and popular, and surely would have made them money? I can't actually understand why they've let it become so shit. It just doesn't seem to be in their interests to do so. And tag success has helped launched many wrestlers careers when their team split (HBK, Edge, Jeff Hardy). WWE are so desperate to develop new talent; well surely if they were put in a tag team with a decently popular guy (Christian being a prime example) and had some good success then it could help get them over? Plus it would help give storylines to the wrestlers they can't be arsed of thinking of any for.

Been a longtime reader of the P&B forums and finally decided to join up. Didn't realise this thread covered Sottish Wrestling aswell and since my beloved UKFF is a state thought i'd come on here and see what's what.

I was at ICW and PBW most recently and thought both shows were great. Agree with most of what DomDom says but at the same time a couple of disagreements which i gave you on the UKFF (PBWFan)

Feel a bit more at ease dsicussing wrestling here to be honest cos the UKFF is just w*nk central alot of the time and you guys here just look like you're having some harmless fun chat about shows etc. Apart from DomDom giving us his Meltzer chat

I've been a longtime fan of the Scottish product, ever since SWA's first show in Clydebank in 2006. Now i go to as many shows as i can. Have really saw some fine wrestlers ome through the ranks up here. Guys who i'm currently digging are:

Lionheart - a great WWE-style guy. agree that his looks aren't top class and he even, to me, appears to have lost a fair bit of weight over the past year. But nonetheless he still puts in some shift everywhere he wrestles and he is still going strong as PBW Champion.

Wolfgang - one of the first guys i saw back in the day. he impressed me then and even more so now. His tag team with Red Lightning one of the freshest things to come out of the Scottish scene in some time and I enjoy his singles work. Could have a good math with a broomstick!

Noam Dar - still very young but man, he is gonna have a great future ahead of him, provided he gets taller. Has hung with some of the top guys on the scene already.

Red Lightning - having watched him as a face in WILD...once he turned heel that was it, the guy completely re-invented himself and i feel he has continued to do so ever since. a massive change in his ring look and his ring persona has put him as one of my "dark horses" of 2010 to walk away with a heavyweight title before the year's out. if he continues to put in his shifts at the gym, along with Lionheart, he seems to be one of few guys up here who posseses the charisma and character to be considered "WWE" style.

Talking about the look thing i saw earlier....don't forget now guys that WWE isn't all about muscle jacked up guys now. alot of the guys i see on TV week in week out (Ziggler, Mcintyre, Miz & Morrison to name a few) seem to have highly attainable natural physques. When i met Drew McIntyre at the Tesco signing, the guy has wasted away compared to his size when he wrestled here. But he looks good on TV and doesn;t look like a walking advert for gear, which is what they're trying to move away from. So guys like Lionheart might not be as far away from "WWE Shape" as some may think"

Right, I hope this interests you. I've posted these lists before, but this post is going to give you the chance to see what's in them too, and I'll update this post whenever I have new videos. Basically, I have playlists of full matches on Dailymotion so as you can basically watch all sorts of wrestling. I'm going to post a playlist and then what's in it. The matches will be listed in spoiler tags. If you can't watch it because of the adult filter, there's an option to turn it off at the bottom. I don't know if you have to be registered for that, but it doesn't take long to register and it's worth it. Right, the lists.

There's stuff from all sorts of promotions, all different types and matches from the well hyped to the under hyped. I'd like to think that if there isn't LOADS to like in these things then you aren't much of a fan. I should note that the variation gets better as the lists go on. They're a bit major promotion loaded at the start. Still awesome stuff on them though.

I'll add the playlists one by one tonight. Keep an eye on this post. It could take a while.

EDIT : Having seen how long each post is, I'll bold recommendations and historic matches.

Right, I hope this interests you. I've posted these lists before, but this post is going to give you the chance to see what's in them too, and I'll update this post whenever I have new videos. Basically, I have playlists of full matches on Dailymotion so as you can basically watch all sorts of wrestling. I'm going to post a playlist and then what's in it. The matches will be listed in spoiler tags. If you can't watch it because of the adult filter, there's an option to turn it off at the bottom. I don't know if you have to be registered for that, but it doesn't take long to register and it's worth it. Right, the lists.

There's stuff from all sorts of promotions, all different types and matches from the well hyped to the under hyped. I'd like to think that if there isn't LOADS to like in these things then you aren't much of a fan. I should note that the variation gets better as the lists go on. They're a bit major promotion loaded at the start. Still awesome stuff on them though.

I'll add the playlists one by one tonight. Keep an eye on this post. It could take a while.

EDIT : Having seen how long each post is, I'll bold recommendations and historic matches.

Playlist #1

Antonio Inoki vs. Steven Regal - WCW Clash of the Champions XXVIII

Anything with Regal in it has me interested.

[DomDom]

There's a match with Ric Flair and Regal in that first playlist from WCW Saturday Night back in 1994. Not seen any reviews or watched it so I have no idea what it's like. Should be good though.

[YokerFerry]

nice list DomDom. there goes my sleep tonight lmao

[DomDom]

After almost finishing the list for #2 and then losing it all, I've decided I MIGHT do the #3 list tonight, but no way am I starting on #2 again.

[DomDom]

Just notiec Yoker Ferry's first post. I'll adress that.

Feel a bit more at ease dsicussing wrestling here to be honest cos the UKFF is just w*nk central alot of the time and you guys here just look like you're having some harmless fun chat about shows etc. Apart from DomDom giving us his Meltzer chat

c**t.

Oh, being a UKFFer on the Scottish threads, you'll recognize the name Haraga Version One ... which is moi.

I've been a longtime fan of the Scottish product, ever since SWA's first show in Clydebank in 2006. Now i go to as many shows as i can.

Really good show. Featured Eric Canyon vs. Chris Renfrew in Renfrew's first ever singles match. I've always thought that matchwise, Eric Canyon is the best wrestler ever to compete in Scotland. He's never even had a match below good. Nothing average. When the guy packed it in, with another absolute scorcher against RIP btw, I was gutted.

Lionheart - a great WWE-style guy. agree that his looks aren't top class and he even, to me, appears to have lost a fair bit of weight over the past year. But nonetheless he still puts in some shift everywhere he wrestles and he is still going strong as PBW Champion.

I think he lost weight to look a bit more even. He did look kinda flabby. Now he looks more natural. The thing about Lionheart is that he wrestles like a star. His strikes, he adds this snap to his moves as well. His match with Bad Bones in Largs was pretty extraordinary.

Wolfgang - one of the first guys i saw back in the day. he impressed me then and even more so now. His tag team with Red Lightning one of the freshest things to come out of the Scottish scene in some time and I enjoy his singles work. Could have a good math with a broomstick!

You think he's gone off the boil a bit Yoker ? I've thought he's gone downhill a bit apart from his tag work. He looked like the next big thing in Scotland and he has gone downhill rapidly. Can't see him topping a promotion for a while now.

Noam Dar - still very young but man, he is gonna have a great future ahead of him, provided he gets taller. Has hung with some of the top guys on the scene already.

He impressed Dragon Gate when he wrestled The Highlander down there. He has a natural cockiness to him that works. The scary thing is that this kid is still in high school and he has had some incredble matches. That match with Darkside is up there with the PBW tag match and Bones/Lionheart for matches this year. He also had a corker with Booty in East Kilbride.

Red Lightning - having watched him as a face in WILD...once he turned heel that was it, the guy completely re-invented himself and i feel he has continued to do so ever since. a massive change in his ring look and his ring persona has put him as one of my "dark horses" of 2010 to walk away with a heavyweight title before the year's out. if he continues to put in his shifts at the gym, along with Lionheart, he seems to be one of few guys up here who posseses the charisma and character to be considered "WWE" style.

Red Lightning has been quite frustrated by the lack of success he's had, and quite rightly. He clearly has the tools to make it as someone on the Scottish scene.

You heading along to see Fergal on Saturday ?

[Shuggie_Murray7]

Just notiec Yoker Ferry's first post. I'll adress that.

c**t.

I'll second that

If I'm being honest, I've never really seen what all the fuss was about. Although I don't get along to as many shows as Dom, I've always thought he ws distinctly average when I've seen him. Don't get me wrong, he has had some belters, but I've never saw anything that would suggest he would be anything other that pretty decent.

Red Lightning has been quite frustrated by the lack of success he's had, and quite rightly. He clearly has the tools to make it as someone on the Scottish scene.

Nae wonder he's frustrated.

[djchapsticks]

Seems WWE are dropping the 'Daniel Bryan' name after eliminating him from NXT. Looks like he'll be going back to his own name. If they are intent on pushing him, they've been going about it in a very, very strange way.

[Mallo_Madrid]

Ya canni beat a good Diva.

[YokerFerry]

still not sure if i can make it on Saturday tbh so will be touch & go.

Yeah I thought Wolfgang did look as if he has lost interest for a while but I feel that since his tag stuff has taken off it's really lit a fire in him again and it shows in his singles stuff now too. Personally I felt Drew had the looks but he couldn;t touch Wolfgang in terms of in-ring ability. I mean, the tag thing, is it fizzling out or what? That's almost a year now believe it or not they've had those belts.

What I see with Lightning is he has been used as a tool to get everyone else over for years. It started with Jester, and then he feuded briefly with Lionheart. Put Falcon over for the Openweight a month after winning it. But I don't feel he falls into that category. He is a killer on the mic, agreed his face stuff isn't as good as his heel but really he is a heel, acts like one and talks like one. Not that he can't be a face but just seems to garner lots mroe attention as a heel. Recent singles success in SWA aswell...

I canny believe Highlander worked for friggin DragonGate.

[The Hero of the Day]

Watched a bit of Impact earlier on and couldn't believe the state Scott Hall was in. He should've packed in the in-ring stuff years ago.

Was this last week with Eric Young joining the nWo or this week where they win the tag titles I assume?

Anyway Hall is an icon in this sport. Some of his humour and comedy is priceless from what I've seen on Impact.

"Whats the deal-do!" a few weeks back was so quick and witty.

[Toma_BullyWee]

I canny believe Highlander worked for friggin DragonGate.

He what?

Is he still retiring every other year or so? And in regards to what you said about the UKFF, I completely agree. It's amazing how petty they all are. Although I very rarely post on the forum I do like to have a quick read most days, so I've been a bit annoyed that it's been offline for the past 24 hours.

[MattBairn]

I've actually settled on the Doomsday Device as the best tag team finisher ever.

Thats not settling, as it quite clearly is the best.
