4th Annual Square Go - The Odds


Seeing as I tend to enjoy a flutter every now and again, I thought it would be fun to draw up some odds for the ICW Square Go on the 25th. The odds will be compiled based on how good a year each wrestler had in 2014, championship reigns, big match wins, all the important stuff really! As I said, it is just a bit of fun, but if you want to take advantage of some cracking prices, you can give me a mail and I can organize it for ye, although there's literally 0 chance of you being paid out if your bet wins. So I can't stress enough - FUN ONLY, DO NOT TRY AND GIVE ME YER MONEY. I won't take future title shots into account (Joe Coffey in particular) and it'll be split into "Favorites" and "Best of the rest" because there's no such thing as having an outsider's chance in this match. The "Surprise entrant" odds are the chances I think of them making an appearance in the match, not of winning it.

ICW: Square Go Preview


At the time of writing this, we're now just shy of a fortnight from ICW's first show of the year - the fourth annual Square Go. ICW's take on the Royal Rumble, only it isn't predictable every single year. Just look at last year's Square Go for example. Grado seemed to overcome all the odds, when eliminating Chris Renfrew and seemingly winning the Square Go match itself. Everyone exploded, it was probably the best moment in Grado's career... for all of about ten seconds. With the officials preoccupied with making sure Wolfgang and BT Gunn were alright on the floor, they missed Grado throwing Renfrew over the top rope, and when he realized that for himself, Renfrew slid back in and sent Grado over, being called the official winner of the match. An iconic moment for ICW in itself, it is only fitting that it should directly affect this year's event, with Renfrew's Square Go contract being cashed in exactly one year after his famous victory - the night that the contract expires - against Drew Galloway. On top of that match being set in stone, we have ICW's first ever Steel Cage match between bitter enemies BT Gunn and Wolfgang, as well as the Square Go match itself, which will determine the next man (or woman) who will have the luxury of lying in wait with a title match at their disposal any time they want it.

NXT Review 8/1/15


Two from two in 2015... aren't I doing well? We were geared up for this week's NXT with the announcements that, this week, we would not only get Hideo Itami vs Curtis Axel, but the return of our new NXT Champion, Sami Zayn. Excellent stuff. Before we've even time to go get a nice cold beverage and a packet of Doritos, that all-too-familiar music started to echo through Full Sail University...
