10 Live Observations From ICW's Fear And Loathing VIII
3. ICW Shows Are Too Long
A night out at an ICW show is one of the best value nights that you can ever spend as a wrestling fan. You get hours of great wrestling, music, epic entrances, twists and turns, an enthusiastic crowd and theres always bar for you to grab a Coca Cola or a Budweiser from.
Ive been going to shows sporadically for the last four years and Ive never once felt like the show wasnt worth the price of admission or I that I didnt get my moneys worth. In truth, I think my one issue with the events is actually the opposite.
ICW runs regular shows in Glasgow and now tours the UK, but every show Ive been to lasts about four hours. The problem is that by the end of the shows, Im always left feeling exhausted and trying to remember everything that happened. I commend the company for always wanting to give the fanbase all that theyve got but I think its sometimes too much.
At Fear & Loathing there was a ton of action but there were also two intervals and the show ran for four hours. Given that the shows are all standing with no option for seated tickets, its tough just to stand for four hours and not feel a little exhausted or sore by the end of the night.
When saying the shows are too long is the biggest complaint you can have about a company then theyre doing pretty well, but if the shows were shorter and a little tighter with a little less content? Watch out, Vince!
