Speaking after the announcement, ICW owner Mark Dallas said: “When I first started running shows in Maryhill Community Halls I never dreamed that ICW would be performing at one of the busiest arenas in the world, let alone for a third time.

“Glasgow is home for ICW and being able to host the biggest independent professional wrestling show in Europe at a venue round the corner from our humble beginnings is something special.

“It’s going to be a great night for the fans and a celebration of everything that ICW stands for.”

Last year’s show in the same venue saw the ICW debut of WWE greats Rob Van Dam and Rey Mysterio as well as wrestling legend Kevin Nash, who oversaw proceedings as the event’s special guest commissioner for the night.

Scheduled to compete on this year’s Fear and Loathing include star of BBC’s Insane Fight Club Jack Jester, 2018 Commonwealth Games athlete Joe Hendry and WWE Superstar Wolfgang.
