The biggest hoose party of the summer is back as Insane Championship Wrestling (ICW)<\/strong> return to Glasgow’s O2 Academy for the 6th annual Shug’s Hoose Party<\/strong><\/em>. Over two nights at the end of this month, the ICW roster will cause utter carnage as only they can, with a new World Heavyweight Champion being crowned by the end of it. That’s on night two though – here, we’re speaking about night one, which will feature a huge main event as current NXT<\/strong> superstar KUSHIDA<\/strong> makes his ICW debut!<\/p>\n

It’s safe to say that the ICW tag team division has never featured this many great teams at once. From The Kinky Party<\/strong> (Jack Jester<\/strong> and Sha Samuels<\/strong>) to The Anti-Fun Police<\/strong> (Chief Deputy Dunne<\/strong> and Los Federales Santos Jr.<\/strong>) to current tag champs The Kings of Catch<\/strong> (Aspen Faith<\/strong> and Lewis Girvan<\/strong>), there’s an abundance of top-quality teams scrapping amongst each other. Two of those alliances will collide at Shug’s Hoose Party<\/em> when The P.O.D<\/strong> face off with The Purge<\/strong>. The last time these two pairs went up against each other was at the 2018 Square Go!<\/strong><\/em>, a match that saw Rampage Brown<\/strong> and Ashton Smith<\/strong> cling on to their ICW Tag Team Championships after a brutal battle. Although they would fall down the metaphorical ladder after losing the titles to The Kinky Party, Rampage and Ashton have risen back through the ashes both in singles and tag team competition, including both of them challenging Lionheart<\/strong> for the World Heavyweight Championship earlier on this year. As for The Purge, they’re continuing to cement themselves as one of British wrestling’s rising tandems, thanks in part to their recent victory in the King of Hawners tournament alongside their Bad Company<\/strong> brethren BT Gunn<\/strong>. Regardless of who wins this bout, both teams will almost certainly be in contention for the tag titles after the weekend is all said and done.<\/p>\n

Speaking of the King of Hawners tournament, a tag team match that’s stemmed from that event sees Aaron Echo<\/strong> and Kieran Kelly<\/strong> coming together once again to fend off Ireland’s premier duo The Kings of the North<\/strong>. Along with Andy Wild<\/strong>, Echo and Kelly united as The Wild Boys<\/strong> for the tournament, scoring a huge semifinals victory over Bonesaw<\/strong>, Damien Corvin<\/strong>, and honorary Kings of the North member Adam Maxted<\/strong> after Kieran utilised a surprise rollup. That loss really hasn’t sat well with the Irish lads, as they brutally assaulted<\/a> Kelly in the backstage area following the match. Everyone who’s aware of Bonesaw and Corvin knows just what the team are capable of – just watch any of their matches from Over The Top Wrestling (OTT)<\/strong>, and you’ll see just how cold and calculated the two can really be. Clearly though, Aaron Echo isn’t one to back down from them as he personally called them out at a recent Fight Club<\/strong><\/em> taping. It’s a bold move on Aaron’s part, but when you combine his size and power with Kieran’s speed and agility, you’ve got quite the combination. The only question left unanswered is whether or not it’ll be enough to send The Kings of the North packing back to Ireland.<\/p>\n
