Now, you're no stranger to the main event scene, even just this month and a bit! You headlined the first-ever Gonzo in what, for me, was definitely the match of the night, defending your title against one of the hottest young talents in ICW - Leyton Buzzard. He even seemingly earned your respect at the end. What are your thoughts on Leyton?
I think these guys that are coming up just now, Leyton Buzzard, Kieran Kelly, Kez Evans, they are so good. I'm watching them and I'm thinking, "Jesus Christ," but it's exciting.
It's so exciting for me as well. Just thinking about how good the Scottish scene is going to be in another ten years. It's incredible.
Those matches couldn't possibly be any more different, because I don't think many people would argue if I said you've got a slightly different styles to Leyton...
100%.
How different is the pressure of going out there vs Leyton Buzzard or vs Wolfgang?
With some of the younger guys, they have a certain style and they do things that are really exciting, and I'm not going to try and do things that I've never done or never wanted to do. I will stick with what I do.
I don't even know how to describe my sort of style but I'm going to tell a story, break things down, so I would never get overly worried about being in with a younger guy.
There is an aspect of it where these guys are really, really quick but I'm always going to take it to what's going to make the match work, and what's going to make it make sense.
With any situation, I'm just going to be excited and look at different things that we can do.
You've got Leyton Buzzard and Wolfgang who are completely different opponents and I think that excites me because there's such a different contrast of styles and stipulations in the matches as well - that's what I want to be doing.
I want to be in situations where, like at ICW Gonzo, the first ever main event, that pressure with such a strong card underneath, I know we've got to deliver. At the same time, I don't think we've got to do a million things, I will stick to the thing I do which is maybe sometimes going at a slower pace but telling a story with it.
That match, like the Good Housekeeping Match, was for the Zero-G Championship. Now, talk about belts with incredible lineage!
People think of high-flyers when they think Zero-G, but you're such a great champion because you're not a high-flyer, but your style brings out the best in high-flyers!
Aside from yourself, that belt has been held by Finn Balor, Noam Dar, Lionheart, Kenny Williams, Zack Gibson, the current ICW World Heavyweight Champion Stevie Boy, and all three members of NXT UK's Gallus.
How much of an honour is it to hold that title - and what do you, depending on how you see it, bring to that title, or what does the title bring to you?
Obviously, given the names you've just mentioned, it is a bit of a prestigious title now. It's up there in ICW, a lot of people will go after that belt just as much as they go after the ICW Heavyweight Championship.
For me, I've been wrestling now since 2004, I've been with ICW since the very first show. It was kind of like, "I've done it. I did get there."
Obviously I've still got aspirations like going after the Heavyweight Championship and everything but it was, "God, I made it, I finally did it!" because there was a point I didn't think I was going to.
What I bring to the belt - work hard and, if you work hard, you can do it.
Honestly, I never thought I could be in a position that I'm in right now if you think of a year and a half ago, when I was on the sidelines.
I want that belt to represent wrestlers' wrestler. If you work hard, you can get there. Ignore all the bullsh**, just work hard.
I think that shows when you look at the poster for Fear & Loathing and you're at the top of it!
Exactly.
