#7 - Kurt Angle closes the show - Fear and Loathing 9
On top of announcing Balor and the Dudley Boyz for their debut Hydro show, ICW provided the cherry on top of the cake by adding Kurt Angle to the card.

Following his departure from TNA in early-2016, Angle began making several appearances for a number of independent companies. Facing the likes of Joe Hendry and Zack Sabre Jr, it looked as if The Olympic Gold Medalist was ticking names off his wrestling bucket list in what appeared to be a retirement tour.

His ICW appearance would see him close out Fear and Loathing 9, where he faced future NXT UK star Joe Coffey. Following on from the highly charged match prior between Team Dallas and Team Black Label, the pair attempted to keep the crowd on edge with an intense technical encounter.
Despite being 47 at the time and well past his physical prime, the former WWE Champion Angle showed glimpses of why he is considered one of the greatest of all time.
Ever the professional, Angle would put Joe over in front of ICW’s biggest ever crowd, giving Coffey the much needed boost he needed to move back in the World Title picture the next year.
The match would mark one of Angle’s final non-WWE appearances, as he would return to the company where he first made his name in 2017.
