Disclaimer: I canny afford all this!! I really canny afford all this!!! But what I can do is promise you full previews coming up shortly. For now, here is a huge amalgamation of what is happening for the rest of the year as of right now!! (PS... someone please pay me, I really, really, really canny afford all this!!)
2014
It's been a cracking year so far, hasn't it? Fierce Females is back, Insane Championship Wrestling is on the rise, we've had Fergal Devitt, big Drew is back home. All sorts is going on, so here's a wee bit aimed at keeping track of it all...

ICW were offering reduced price "Season Tickets", another groundbreaking idea from the company, but these have of course Sold Out.
