It may sound cliched to say, but this is really only the beginning for Insane Championship Wrestling. Starting out in modest community halls, the company quickly branched out to the night club scene in Glasgow, before once again out-growing venues and hosting shows in bigger arenas such as the O2 ABC and the infamous Barrowlands Ballroom, in front of crowds reaching close to the 2,000 mark. In addition to regularly running shows in the promotion's home base of Scotland's central belt, ICW were the first dedicated UK wrestling company to host a critically-acclaimed tour across the length and breadth of the United Kingdom, with another announced for April. Now more than ever, there's never been a better time to check out ICW, and see what all the fuss is about. If you're a wrestling fan who's tired of WWE, looking for something a bit different, or just one who can't get enough of pro wrestling, Insane Championship Wrestling is one company you should be keeping your eyes open for.
