ICW's Fear & Loathing show today in Glasgow at the Hydro drew poorly, as maybe half of last year's show and one-thrid of the show two years ago.

UPDATE ON LAWSUIT AGAINST RIC AND CHARLOTTE FLAIR OVER AUTOBIOGRAPHY CLAIMS
Ric Flair, World Wrestling Entertainment, Charlotte Flair and author Brian Shields were all granted a motion on 11/29 that they would have an extended amount of time to respond to the lawsuit filed against them by Charlotte's ex-husband Riki Paul Johnson regarding claims made about Johnson in the WWE book Second Nature, which told an intertwining story about the careers and lives of Ric and Charlotte. The defendants now have until 1/18/19 to respond, unless Johnson files an amended lawsuit, which would reset the clock for their response.
Johnson (who was married to Flair for a year before she broke into WWE), alleges there are false statements made about him in Second Nature, including a claim that he lost two jobs due to drug use, a claim that he was sterile and could not have children and "multiple false allegations physical and/or psychological abuse", which Johnson stated he believes he can prove are incorrect with police reports and dash cam footage.
Johnson alleges Second Nature has humiliated his family, including his three children, because the family are the subject of shame and ridicule and that he was intentionally presented in the book as a villain to make Charlotte look better.
When the lawsuit was filed, WWE issued the following statement to TMZ.com: "We recently received what appears to be a meritless lawsuit and we will vigorously defend ourselves."
Second Nature was released in hardcover form earlier this year and was released in paperback last month. Promotional material for the book notes, "Are you ready for this, WWE Universe? For the first time ever, WWE's illustrious father-daughter duo “Nature Boy“ Ric Flair and Charlotte come together to tell their legendary story. Ric Flair is a 16-time World Champion and two-time WWE Hall of Fame Inductee. His four-decades long career is recognized as one of the greatest of all time, but with success comes a price. Despite his effortless brilliance in front of the cameras, his life away from the cameras includes personal struggles, controversy and family tragedy. Through his bond with Charlotte, he's becoming the father he needs to be while rediscovering the legend he has always been. Charlotte grew up in the shadow of her famous father, “the dirtiest player in the game,“ but now she is poised to take the Flair name to new heights. As the inaugural WWE Women's Champion, Charlotte has had an impressive career, and she's just getting started. With the (dare we say it) flair of the “Nature Boy“ running through her blood, Charlotte is destined for greatness. Find out how she embraced her heritage and battled her own challenges through her rise to the top of WWE. For these two Champions, sports entertainment is simply SECOND NATURE"
PCO DISCUSSES SIGNING WITH RING OF HONOR, MAKING A MAJOR CAREER COMEBACK AT 50 YEARS OLD
On the latest episode of Main Event Radio, PCO Pierre-Carl Ouellet joined Ryan Rider and Steve Rockamniac to discuss his new contract with Ring of Honor and making a "Rocky" style comeback at the age of 50.
On signing an exclusive deal with a major company, believed to be Ring of Honor: It's the best deal in my entire career. Between the opportunities they are giving me, and the money involved, it is my best deal ever. It is only the beginning of a new adventure, a good challenge. I'm a bit stressed but I feed off a good challenge like this. It gives me a huge chance to step up to another level and be able to accomplish that. It is something great. I'm hoping for things to turn out the way I want them to.
Making a comeback at the age of 50 years old: Whatever it takes to accomplish my goals. There is already a lot of talk about making a movie about this comeback. At my age to make a deal like this, it's a miracle. I have a lot of good vibes, positive energy. I have a lot of people behind me wanting me to succeed. I'm really making all the efforts and sacrifices to make it happen. Working out every day. Sometimes I can't see my daughter for many nights in a row but I know at the end of this run I'll be able to have quality time with her later on. I was put on earth for this purpose. I've been working on this dream since the age of 14 years old and it's been mostly failures. But you have to keep going and keep the faith and go work hard and not care about negative comments and things like that. We all have something that we want to accomplish and want to do. When I started this comeback, some people looked at me like I was stupid and laughed at me. You have to listen to that voice inside of you and know for yourself.
The match with Walter: I was working in 2017 around different promotions in Quebec and Ontario and I got in touch with a promoter in Indiana who wanted to bring me in for a match in January 2018. It was a snowstorm and I barely made it in time, the flight landed and I headed right there for my match against “All Ego” Ethan Page. The crowd was stunned and chanting “This is Awesome” and “You've still got it”. On the way back to the hotel, Joey Janella asked me if I wanted to be a part of the Joey Janella Spring Break. He was telling me that he had a big buzz for the first one the year before and there were now huge expectations for the 2nd one. So he wanted to put me in a match against the big German guy Walter. I took the deal, didn't ask for much money I just wanted the exposure and the break. They asked me if I would drive there [from Montreal] and it took me 40 hours to get there. It felt exactly like Rocky 4 when they did my introduction. It was a sold out show, but the reaction was so cold. They didn't care really at first. Then the way the match started with the chops back and forth, with my purple chest, and it turned into a real war. Then I hit a split-legged moonsault, a dive off the top rope, moonsault to the floor, all kinds of moves like that. And on the second exchange of chops we were going from one corner to the other and crowd erupted like in the movie Rocky 4. Chanting “PCO” “PCO” “PCO”. When I got the win, with the swanton bomb 1-2-3 it was pandemonium. On Twitter everyone was talking about the match, about the comeback. It was unbelievable, to steal the show and be part of the best match of Wrestlemania weekend.
Madison Square Garden Wrestlemania Weekend 2019: That would be great, it would be awesome. Make me feel like I'm getting to where I want to be. It's another step towards that direction. Ring of Honor are running at a more prestigious building than WWE at Wrestlemania weekend. The marquee name, Madison Square Garden. It's great for a company like ROH that they could have done that against all odds. Because WWE tried to stop them from renting it and the lawyers put on a fight. I'm really impressed. It's looking really good for 2019 as far as what the wrestling scene will be.
Who would he like to face: There's a lot of people throwing names. For a long time I've been hearing the names of Minoru Suzuki and Tomohiro Ishii. Those two Japanese guys always pop up with my name in conversations.
His influence on Kevin Owens: I got a text from Kevin [Owens] last night. We have always been pretty good friends. I was so happy for his success and he's worked so hard. His dedication as far as going from Montreal to New Jersey every weekend making $50 and losing money and doing that for 14 years before he made it big. He was asking me which path he should take to get to WWE and I told him he should listen to himself and go the path that he felt he should take. He went on the road and the rest is history. You can't expect to make it staying at home with your regular job and hoping that you will get a break. There are so many wrestlers in every city, every city, every country. You have to go above and beyond to make a name for yourself.
