He did kind of act that way. he no sold it. it lacked the get security or the guy who constantly rings the bell for no apparent reason ;D mene gene would have been gold there ;D |

ICW was pretty ahead of it's time and cutting edge(in a stylistic sense) for a late 70's/ealry 80's promotion,I think in a way you could say they were "Sports Entertainment" way before the WWF/E invented the term;they ran quite a few wild angles and had a decent enough roster to pull it off too,at least until the WWF & MACW snatched most of them up.

That wasn't actually breaking news, Randy teamed with Lanny many time in South and there father usually managed them.

The true irony here is... that Ronnie Garvin' real name is Roger Barnes

That announcer rules.
"Nuclear bomb goes off*
"Well people looks lie we've just been hit by a nuke...Let's go to break and we'll be right back with more great action, here on ICW Wrestling."

Funny thing, later on his career Garvin played Jimmy Garvin's brother but they weren't actually brothers.

Bah, Abe Lincoln broke kayfabe back in 1872, when he shocked the world by revealing himself as the masked Raging Republican after winning the NWA Kentuckianabama Heavyweight Championship.
...This was 7 years after he supposedly died.

ICW was long gone before VKM's national expansion. What drove ICW out of business was their location, their management, and competition from Memphis, as well as not having the protection of the NWA (they were an "outlaw" promotion, aka a promotion that didn't pay dues to the NWA). I'm no fan of VKM or Jim Crockett, but neither of those men had anything to do with the downfall of ICW. |
