2014 was a big year for ICW as they started to receive a great deal of mainstream attention.

The BBC documentary Insane Fight Club detailed the company’s journey to Fear and Loathing 6 and attracted a large number of new eyes to the product.

As a result of this, it was important to the company that Fear and Loathing 7 made a huge splash to keep those new fans on side.

Leading into the event, one of the most prominent feuds in ICW was between the New Age Kliq (Chris Renfrew, Dickie Divers and Darkside) and the Sumerian Death Squad duo of Michael Dante and Tommy End, better known now as WWE’s Aleister Black.

The groups were set to square off on this night at the iconic Barrowland Ballroom, but SDS needed a teammate to ensure the numbers were even.

When the duo emerged to the sold out crowd in typical satanic fashion carrying a body bag to the ring, you sensed a major moment was in store.

The company would definitely deliver on that, as out would appear former ICW Champion Mikey Whiplash. Whiplash hadn’t been seen in the company for many months, so his return was met with a thunderous reception from the crowd as he helped his team to victory.

The factions would continue their rivalry for another year, right through until the next year’s Fear and Loathing.
