ICW Champion Adrian 'Lionheart' McCallum Passes Away At 36
British wrestling scene struck by tragedy.
Insane Championship Wrestling World Heavyweight Champion Adrian 'Lionheart' McCallum has passed away. He was just 36 years old.
ICW's Twitter account broke the tragic news yesterday:-
The cause and circumstances of McCallum's passing are currently unknown, and, per his home promotion, his family have requested the utmost privacy at this time.
A veteran of the British independent wrestling scene, Lionheart will be best remembered for his time in ICW. Debuting for the promotion in 2007 (five years after starting out as a performer), McCallum trod a long, gruelling road to the top, but it all paid off for him in December 2018, when he captured ICW's World Heavyweight Championship at the promotion's signature Fear & Loathing event in Glasgow.
Lionheart's last match came on 16 June, when he defeated Alexander Dean to win the UEWA's European Heavyweight Title. A universally popular figure all across BritWres, he was a particularly effective heel performer, and also ran his own promotion, Pro Wrestling Elite, based out of Ayrshire, Scotland.
Countless tributes have poured in over the past 12 hours:-
We here at WhatCulture.com wish to extend our deepest condolences to Adrian's family and friends during this difficult period.
