 This model was differentiated ICW from other regional federations, in that ICW was a very large territory that didn't have one town or city to act as its local base.So while the company had a presence in a wide area, it never got that strong local following of World Class, the PNW or the USWA.Over the years ICW established a kind of “open door” policy, working with any federation or any individual competitor who was interested in working in the federation; this open door policy even saw the Japanese Frontier Martial-Arts Wrestling Brass Knuckles Champion Atsushi Onita challenge the ICW Heavyweight champion Tony Atlas to a Title Vs Title Match.
