I love wrestling. And I have a ton of wrestling DVDs. This is high on my list of favorites. It is just a ton of fun to watch. Now, I’m not a huge ICP fan (In fact I hated them when they were in WCW), but this sure ain’t WCW. This is JCW. And this wrestling is not for the kiddies. It’s announcers use tons of profanity (but they are really funny). There is lots of blood, and weapons galore.
Here are some of the better matches:
Street Fight Weapons Battle Royal: Is this a good match? Not really….but it is hysterical to watch. Especially since Ricky Morton of the Rock n’ Roll Express is in it, and the announcers call him everything from Rikki Rachtman to Ricky Schroeder. And there is a guy who wears a barrel to the ring…really.
Tom “The Scrub” vs. King Kong Bundy: This is another really funny match…..why? Tom weighs just over 150 lbs. King Kong Bundy weighs in at over 350. You figure it out.
And the Main Event- The ICP vs Doink the Clown, and…ummm Doink the Clown: This is actually a pretty cool match. Lots of broken tables and stuff. And lots of run ins at the end including 2 former ECW wrestlers (I won’t ruin the surprise).
This dvd is as close as you can get to attending a live independent show without actually going. The production values may be low, the wrestling may be a little sub-par at times, but if you want to see some really funny pro-wrestling with some faces you’ve seen before, I’d buy JCW: Vol 1

They made this movie here with very little money so you have to give them credit for what they worked with. Now, even as a huge juggalo, I was just a little disappointed. When I bought it I was thinking it would really be a classic. Now it is a classic, but it some of it wasn’t very well done. The humor of most parts was hilarious and something you’ll never forget but there are a few parts that you think, “What’s going on?” This is also a Psychopathic production, like many others, where you will need some time to appreciate it.
The movie Juggalo Chanmpionsh*t is supposed to be the wrestling league of the Insane Clown Posse. People are dressing up as unliked people and then they get beat up by one of the juggalos. Some of the unliked people include Slim Anus and Kid Rock. Even though it isn’t something that anyone needs to see, it is a good use of time for any juggalo or juggalette.

This is the best thing to happen to “this great sport of ours” since ECW. Consider that, as I write this, the silly and sterile WWE monopoly is still grinding away at the Kane/Lita stalk/rape/impregnate/forced marriage gimmick. Not only that, Trips has regained the title!
Anyway, here’s some highlights of this JCW DVD. First, there is Evil Dead. If you have never seen him, he will become your favorite grappler at first sight. He has the best angle going, in that he is a rotting corpse who somehow finds the strength to come to life long enough to hit his finisher. Evil Dead v. Undertaker in a casket match? My money is on the Evil Dead.
The Iron Shiekh, King Kong Bundy, and Abdullah are on the card. And while they have all lost a step (okay, the Shiekh can hardly walk!), Bundy and the Shiekh can still fire off a shoot interview with the best of them. Each fan will have to decide what is more bizarre: the Shiekh’s bubble bellybutton, or Abdullah’s enormous, flappy pecks. Raven, Balls Mahoney, and the real Rock ‘n’ Roll Express (yeah, Morton and Gibson!) have run-ins.
Special mention must go to the juggalos. What a cool crowd! They all seem well-scrubbed, and decked out in new, black ICP gear, many with their faces painted. These juggalos, though young, respect the veteran wrestlers, and there is a unity of thought and behavoir among the crowd that has not been seen since the 1934 Nuremburg party rally. Very cool!
Ultimately, what makes JCW great is ICP. Not only are they true fans and highly skilled wrestlers in their own right (Shaggy takes two ECW-grade bumps in his match), they had the vision and guts to create JCW. And it is the wit and pacing of Violent J and Shaggy that makes this DVD so enjoyable.
Absolutely recommended for all wrestling marks!

If you’re a Juggalo or a Juggalette, you must have this movie! I wasn’t too sure I would be into this movie…I’m a hardcore ICP fan, but I’m not so crazy about independent wrestling. I decided to bite the bullet and purchase this movie, and in my opinion it is money well spent. The commentary by Gweedo, 3D and Luscious Johnny Stark (Also known as Shaggy, Violent J, and Jamie Madrox, respectively) is hilarious. The wrestling isn’t top notch, but the announcing more than makes up for it in my opinion. If you don’t like Psychopathic Records artists, such as Insane Clown Posse or Twiztid, this may not be the video for you, but if you’re a Juggalo/Juggalette, buy this now! You will certainly not regret it. MCL and MTSKL ninjas…

I’m defineatly not an ICP fan at all, in fact I think they sort of (…). This video however rules, I don’t think the wrestling or lack of is worth anything but what makes this video great is the lame storylines and laugh out loud commentary. Violent Jay and that Shaggy guy (yeah ICP) are so (…) hilarious you can’t help but enjoy watching some of the worst wrestling on the planet. The matches are all one sided, I mean a 120 pound kid against King King Bundy. And teh highlight of this video is the “Evil Dead” just his entrance is awesome. I defineatly recommend this DVD and I’m a traditional wrestling fan.
