Insane Championship Wrestling crowned a new world heavyweight champion as ‘Just Justice’ Jackie Polo defeated former friend DCT in an emotional contest last night.

The match in Glasgow came about following Polo's vicious betrayal of DCT, which also saw the latter’s manager, Coach Trip, turn on his long-time associate to reunite with Polo.

Emotions were clearly running high as Polo and Coach came out sporting the old purple jackets of Polo Promotions, the stable they were all once a part of, alongside Mark Coffey.

After DCT faked lying down for Polo in order to give him an easy victory, the match-up descended into a hard-hitting affair, with Polo dominating the majority of the bout at The Garage Nightclub.

It looked as though DCT was set to retain after hitting Jackie with his signature knee strike, the Facial, before a distraction from Coach allowed Polo to regain control and lock in a vicious side headlock.

The champion was unable to escape, resulting in a failure to answer the referee’s count, which handed Polo, from Glasgow, his first world title reign with the Scottish wrestling promotion.

Following on from his victory, Polo would continue the assault the fallen champ, first hitting DCT across the face with a polo mallet ,before dropping him on his head with a piledriver.

He left the venue abruptly through the crowd, his vicious assault leading to DCT being taken from the ringside area on a stretcher and seemingly out of action for the foreseeable future.

The victory sets up a potentially mouth-watering fourth meeting between Polo and long term rival Lionheart at ICW’s flagship event, Fear and Loathing 11, at the SSE Hydro on December 2.

The defeat ends DCT’s maiden championship reign at 56 days, after he previously bested Stevie Boy to win the belt at ICW Shugs Hoose Party 5, Night 2.

A cryptic tweet sent out on Monday, in which he said "Stepping off the roller coaster for a wee while. Thanks for everything. See you in a bit. X" with a picture of a sign saying 'gone fishing', appears to imply that he will be taking some time out from the ring following the loss.

The title change rounded off an all-action night of wrestling as part of the company’s latest round of Fight Club tapings, which saw Edinburgh’s Liam Thomson best NXT UK star Wolfgang in a rematch of their Good Housekeeping match from last year, which saw Thomson reclaim his kitchen sink!

The evening also saw the announcement of a 'brother vs brother' matchup between NXT UK stars Mark and Joe Coffey at Fear and Loathing, when Mark will defend the ICW Zero G Championship.

Independent wrestling stalwarts the Briscoe Brothers - Jay and Mark Briscoe - will also make their debuts for ICW this December, when the Glasgow-based promotion returns to the Hydro.

Both 18-year veterans, they are one of the greatest, and most controversial, tag teams in professional wrestling outside of WWE, having performed for Ring of Honor since its first show in 2002.

Together, the pair have captured 10 world tag title reigns across the globe, nine of which have been in ROH, where they are the current champions, and Mark is also a two-time ROH World Champion.

The brothers are the latest high profile addition to ICWs biggest event of the year, joining all three members of British Strong Style, Wolfgang and Grado as talent already announced for the card.

Previous years have seen appearances at Fear and Loathing by WWE legends such as Kurt Angle, Rey Mysterio and Rob Van Dam, plus Mick Foley as a special guest commissioner.

ICW return to the Garage on Sunday, October 7 for the next Fight Club tapings, while ICW Fear and Loathing 11 takes place on Sunday, December 2 at the SSE Hydro in Glasgow.
