I'm kind of surprised that no one around here is talking about this. If the WWE or Impact would have attempted this story, it would be an instant smash. Oh well. Better to bring it up a bit late than not bring it up at all.
The story is centered around Liam Thomson, veteran of the Scottish indies and ICW original (he appeared on their first ever show). This guy:
In mid-2017, after years of being a slimy, woman-beating heel with a boatload of fictional college degrees (don't ask), Thomson started a face turn. ICW did this by essentially turning him into Zoidberg from Futurama. He lost his possessions one by one to Wolfgang, eventually forcing him to sleep in a booth backstage. By the time Wolfgang was finished, Thomson only had thing left to his name: A beat up kitchen sink. Wolfgang wanted the sink for his bar, so he issued a challenge. If Thomson won, he'd get all of his stuff back and Wolfie's washing machine. If he lost, he'd lose the sink forever. Moreover, the match would be a "Good Housekeeping" match, a home-themed hardcore bout featuring oven mitts, aluminum foil on the ropes and of course, the sink and washing machine. Thomson readily accepted... And lost. He left a few weeks later due to a neck injury.

Thomson made his return from injury (and apparently, the living on the street corner by the Garage in Glasgow) last July. His goal was simple: He wanted his prized sink back.
He and Wolfgang quickly agreed to Good Housekeeping 2. It is quite possibly the best match I ever seen involving a gigantic sponge.
Long story short, Liam Thomson won his prized sink back. He then, clad in black T-shirt reading "Sink 3:16," started treating the sink as a Million Dollar Belt/FTW-style unofficial title. He won every match.
But his carefree days of sink ownership would be short-lived. In order to pay for an ICW title shot against champion Jackie Polo, Liam sold his sink to his former tag team partner, Kid Fite. Thomson lost the title fight and by extension, the bonus he was banking on. Kid Fite refused to return the sink, instead instituting 24/7 rules. If Thomson can pin him anywhere in the world with a ref present, he'd win the sink back.
This led to a confrontation at last Sunday's Fear and Loathing XI. I won't spoil the outcome.
