It’s that time of year once again, as Insane Championship Wrestling (ICW)<\/strong> returns to Glasgow’s SWG3 venue for the twelfth installment of their annual Fear & Loathing<\/strong><\/em> extravaganza. This year is slightly different than previous years however, as ICW Fear & Loathing XII<\/em> will take place over two nights as opposed to one, bringing the insanity to Glasgow for a full weekend. Night one will see the ICW debut of IMPACT Wrestling<\/strong> star Sami Callihan<\/strong>, the crowning of the 2019 Kings of Insanity, and the third Good Housekeeping Match as both the Zero-G Championship and Liam Thomson’s sink are up for grabs in the evening’s main event.<\/p>\n

VIP Early Entry Bonus Match: Mark Coffey & The Power Forward vs Andy Wild & More Than Hype (LJ Cleary, Darren Kearney & Nathan Martin)<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"ICW<\/p>\n

Before Mark Coffey<\/strong> and Andy Wild<\/strong> come to blows in a 2 out of 3 Falls Match on the second night, they’ll both lead teams of four into battle for the VIP pre-show, with Mark being backed by his three masked goons in The Power Forward<\/strong> while Andy will be joined by the Irish trio known as More Than Hype<\/strong><\/a> (LJ Cleary<\/strong>, Darren Kearney<\/strong>, and Nathan Martin<\/strong>). The history between Coffey and Wild goes back to May’s King of Hawners<\/strong><\/em> tournament, where the latter teamed with Aaron Echo<\/strong> and Kieran Kelly<\/strong> as part of The Wild Boys<\/strong> to defeat The Power Forward in the opening round of the tournament. That result never sat well with the current NXT UK<\/strong> Tag Team Champion, with Coffey leading his masked troops into war with The Dad Bod God, pinning the reigning UEWA European Heavyweight Champion back at Shug’s Hoose Party 6<\/strong><\/em>. The Stovie Superman isn’t willing to back away from a fight when he sees one though, and so he made the challenge to face Mark in a 2 out of 3 Falls Match, which was made official for the weekend. Depending on how much impact the two cause on each other here, they may not even make it to night two. Keep in mind we still don’t have a clue who’s under the masks alongside Mark Coffey. It could be anyone – no-one knows what they’re capable of when let loose, apart from Coffey.<\/p>\n

Prediction<\/strong>: Mark Coffey & The Power Forward<\/em><\/p>\n

Kay Lee Ray & Viper vs Angel Hayze & Xia Brookside<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Three talents from the NXT UK women’s division will be making their way to Fear & Loathing<\/em>, as Viper<\/strong> teams with the reigning NXT UK Women’s Champion Kay Lee Ray<\/strong> to battle Xia Brookside<\/strong> and the young upstart Angel Hayze<\/strong>. This match came around after Angel scored an upset victory over Viper at France 2000<\/strong><\/em> this past Sunday in what was just her second appearance in an ICW ring. That’s when The Queen of Insanity entered to drop the bombshell on Angel, who was clearly gobsmacked after finding out she’d be performing on one of the biggest events on the European wrestling calendar. While this will be the first interaction between Angel and Xia, their opponents are no stranger to one another. In fact, Kay Lee Ray and Viper were actually on opposing sides of the ring just eleven months ago at Fear & Loathing XI<\/em>, where KLR captured the ICW Women’s World Championship from The Vixen of Violence in a violent Queen of Insanity Match. They may look to be on the same page right now, but that doesn’t necessarily mean they’ll be playing happy families come Fear & Loathing<\/em>. After all, Viper did headbutt Angel after their match at France 2000<\/em>. Perhaps The Babe of Brutality will be out to make an example out of her own partner in the hopes of earning herself a shot at the NXT UK Women’s Championship.<\/p>\n

Prediction<\/strong>: Angel Hayze & Xia Brookside<\/em><\/p>\n

Aaron Echo vs Alexander Dean<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"ICW<\/p>\n

Alexander Dean<\/strong> made his ICW return back in June, losing his UEWA European Heavyweight Championship to Lionheart<\/strong> in what turned out to be the final match for the then-ICW World Heavyweight Champion. Since then, Dean has gone on to start a bit of a rivalry with one Aaron Echo<\/strong>, but it wasn’t always meant to be this way. At a Fight Club<\/strong><\/em> taping at the end of August, the tough Irishman was originally meant to face Ricky Knight Jr.<\/strong> in a rematch from their epic classic at Shug’s Hoose Party 6<\/em>, however, Mr. Pure Action was unable to compete that night. That’s where Aaron Echo comes into the picture, as he defeated The Catch Provocateur that evening before losing a rematch at the following month’s tapings. The score is currently 1-1 between these two, with the rubber match being signed for night one. Alexander Dean has demanded that new ICW commissioner Carmel Jacob<\/strong> have a second opponent lined up for him after he’s disposed of The King of Benidorm in short order, but Aaron Echo can’t be taken lightly. One mistake from Dean could result in him being hit with one of those nasty rolling elbows. However, this is Alexander Dean we’re talking about, he doesn’t make any mistakes when he steps foot inside that ring.<\/p>\n

Prediction<\/strong>: Alexander Dean<\/em><\/p>\n
