Production

Background

ICW I Ain't Yer Pal, Dickface! was recorded as a taping for ICW's weekly Fight Club broadcast. It aired in three parts as ICW Fight Club episodes #128, #129 and #130 through June and July.[12] [13] [14]

Grado was announced to face Ravie Davie at the event[15] but was replaced by an unnamed opponent.[16]

The event's name is a reference to a line from Donald Gibb in the 1988 movie Bloodsport starring Jean Claude Van Damme.[17] [18] [19]

Storylines

Promoted in advance for the event was Jonny Storm's singles ICW debut[20] as well as an early contest in the long running feud between Kez Evans and BT Gunn.[21] [22] [23]

The story of the main event was the Winner Take All match between ICW World Heavyweight Champion Lionheart[24] [25] [26] [27] and Union of European Wrestling Alliances European Heavyweight Champion Alexander Dean.[28] [29]

In the first ICW vs. UEWA title match since Drew Galloway vs. Chaos and Apu Singh in 2015,[30] [31] [32] Lionheart was victorious, now holding the ICW and UEWA titles,[33] [34] [35] in addition to the Scottish Heavyweight Championship.[36] [37] [38]

Event

The event saw Kieran Kelly defeat Jonny Storm and Kez Evans defeat his coach BT Gunn in upset victories.[39] [40] Joe Hendry defeated Andy Wild.[41] Lionheart defeated Alexander Dean to retain the ICW World Heavyweight Championship and gain the Union of European Wrestling Alliances European Heavyweight Championship.[42] [43] [24]

Aftermath

On June 19, 2019, it was announced that the reigning ICW World Heavyweight Champion, Scottish Heavyweight Champion and UEWA European Heavyweight Champion Lionheart had died by suicide.[44] [45] [46]

McAllum's Pro Wrestling Elite promotion saw its final event promoted in his honour after his death.[47] [48] The vacated UEWA European Heavyweight Championship was contested at the event, with Andy Wild winning the title in a match with BT Gunn and McAllum's final opponent[49] [50] Alexander Dean.[51] [52] [53] The following month Wild defended the title at British Championship Wrestling's Believe: A Night in Memory of Lionheart.[54] [55] [25]
