diamond_for_life Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 One thing I would never have issue with is the Lionheart League. He was their champion at the time of his tragic death. Naming a number one contenders tournament after him can’t be criticised. The other stuff mentioned on here about them using his images I had no idea about and if that’s the case it’s actually quite harrowing they would hide behind that to minimise the criticism aimed their way. I follow Sha Samuels on Twitter and I see he won the number one contender spot he has just signed with NXT UK too. Really really pleased for him he is a guy I’ve always liked and wanted to succeed. He looks in great shape too certainly been putting the work in. Other than that the only other thing I’ve seen about ICW is the stupid rangers promos pop on my Twitter and couldn’t be any more against that shite. I was an absolute ICW junkie straight after my first ever show which was the square go a few years back. I still want a lot of the wrestlers to go on to bigger and better things. As for ICW as a company though I still feel the way i did after the very first story about them came out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for ICW as a company though I still feel the way i did after the very first story about them came out. Me too. The worst thing is how they're going about their business after literally no consequences from #SpeakingOut. No list of wrestlers or talent who will no longer be booked by them, no safeguarding policy, no independent safeguarding or welfare officers, NOTHING about who's going to be running the training schools they're affiliated to despite an outed groomer training many of their talent and appearing on cards himself and no change whatsoever in who's running the show and ultimately the culture in and around the company. I suppose we won't really know how strongly they'll come back until attendances are permitted but the usual bootlickers seem to still be desperately hanging around judging by their Twitter and Facebook threads. They really could just wait it out until it all blew over eh? Sad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGoon Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 The all steel cage gimmick was a slog when TNA did it in front of fans, never mind in front of nobody. Really don’t see the point. Apparently the Progress show tonight (whilst built around a lot of new talent) was really dull. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've just ventured into their socials for the first time in a fair old while and you're right, they've just ducked, hid and hoped it will blow over. Just crappy behaviour.

And I know it's not really the point but ICW shows being produced purely for the WWE network and with no fans sounds absolutely soulless. It will be NXT UK-lite, which isn't a complement, but with even less talent that people give a shit about. Completely pointless like you say. Progress, quite rightly, were taking a lot of flak for not confirming or denying whether Paul Robinson (named in #SpeakingOut) produced the show. Progress have implemented some changes to be fair to them but it's depressing that guys like Robinson can still get work and we're not really much further forward than where we were last summer. Seems like there's no company you can trust. 3 hours ago, cb_diamond said: I've just ventured into their socials for the first time in a fair old while and you're right, they've just ducked, hid and hoped it will blow over.

The worst thing is, Dallas, Toal, Scott Reid et al, obviously don't give a f**k about what happened or about what people like us are saying about them. Knowing that they've got away with it and that people are talking about shit about them probably just boosts their egos and adds to their sense of notoriety and edginess they think they and ICW have. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The industry really never will get better will it? I don’t blame the talent and f**k Progress for throwing them under the bus. One of the main problems in the industry and why abuse has been so rife is the power dynamic between abusers and the abused and also talent with clout vs younger talent. I mean, if it came down to it - who were Progress going to book? Paul Robinson or somebody like Big Guns Joe or Alexxis Falcon? I don’t blame them and A) having talent decide whether or not somebody should be there is not a robust safeguarding policy (or one at all) and B) they obviously weren’t comfortable what with the news of Robinson being there being leaked. There’s a number of concerns there. Firstly, they don’t even apologise or say they won’t be using Robinson going forward. Secondly, if a child groomer is passing your vetting process then your vetting process isn’t stringent enough. And lastly, if Paul fucking Robinson (of all people) is getting booked less than year after #SpeakingOut then how many others are going to slip through the radar? Somebody raze British wrestling to the ground please. And aye that statement definitely reeks of Briley... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diamond_for_life Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 (edited) Did anyone ever give this mob another go? Only reason I’m asking is because it popped up on my Twitter that Kez Evans cashed in the briefcase to win the Zero G title from Craig Anthony? Sorry but nae idea who Craig Anthony is and since when did the briefcase get cashed in for that? I haven’t been watching it I forgot Kez Evans won the Square Go that was the last show I ever went to. Hated that show too with shitey feign injury Edited April 14, 2021 by diamond_for_life 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 Craig Anthony was pretty impressive in more than just ICW before the shut down tbh, and had an absolute beezer with Daz Black at that time. Not seen nearly as much of Daz Black. I've not seen THIS match though. My only real curiosity at this point lies with what happens with the main title, because I'm certain Kez Evans cashed in this one because there wasn't another option. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention they've made no effort to clean up their act at all and clearly hold those that want them to in contempt. I'll be curious to see what the effect of everything that's gone on has on their crowds. They were already on a sharp decline but they haven't really got much blowback at all online (apart from initially) and a lot of the usual sycophantic die-hards still seem to hang on to every word Dallas says. I expect they'll still be quite low but hold relatively steady (sadly). On 14/04/2021 at 21:46, diamond_for_life said: Did anyone ever give this mob another go?

I don't know much about Craig Anthony but a few people I know who are/were mad into the Scottish indy scene rated him highly. I do know, however, that he is the brother of Chris Millar (ex Morton and St Johnstone) if you want some useless trivia/a Scottish football link. I obviously don't know the storylines or backstage situation anymore but cashing in on the Zero-G seems a waste of the Square Go concept. If there's a reason for it (the pandemic and Dar's WWE commitments ?) then fair enough but, if not, and you just don't want Kez to be your champion or even challenging for it, then.. don't give him the briefcase? Or if you do, I'm sure you could have waited a few months until you could play out a story with the top title. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

airdrieman Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 PCW's first show back - poster with Bram front and centre. Never change British wrestling! The amount of 'he's a good guy really' rehabilitation ICW and other British wrestlers across the scene used to do still pisses me off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they night have taken it down. The new one put up still has Kamille on it, so people are asking if they just took him off the poster but still on the card.
