Juggalo Championship Wrestling 10/16/2024 Lunacy Episode 8

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2024/10/juggalo-championship-wrestling-1092024.html

Note - This is the season finale of Lunacy. I believe they are going to run events weekly moving forward, but they won't be TV shows, just live streams of shows.

Nick Gage and Madman Pondo talk outside. They say it's a shame they never had a match in Japan. Pondo says they should and says they can do it but they can't be friends. Gage says no friends are needed and he will carve that motherf**ker up.

Violent J says he has to come to terms and the terms are that he wants to punch Kerry Morton in the face. He says he will insert himself in a tag match with The Brothers of Funstruction vs The Southern Six. He says he will watch Morton at ringside and make sure there's no funny business.

The Brothers of Funstruction (Silas Mason and Alex Taylor) vs The Southern Six (Yabo and Ruffo)

Ruffo is in the blue and Yabo is in the red. Violent J comes out as promised to watch after Kerry Morton. The fight starts outside and Silas gets bitten. Yabo whips Alex and Silas with his tie.

Thoughts: If you can ignore the clowns using ties and popcorn on opponents, it was acceptable. The heels controlled most of this and The Clowns made their comeback and won.

Violent J and Kerry Morton fight after in the aisle and J get the edge.

JCW Bloodymania 17 8/17/24 - JCW American Title - Battle Royale

Violent J comes out with the title. He thanks everyone for coming. He says this isn't the United States championship, it's the American title. He says we will have an ultimate throwdown in the form of a battle royal for it.

We have Breyer Wellington, Superbeast, Kongo Kong, Kaleb Konley, Deputy Dickhead, Painful Paul, MLB, The Backseat Boys, Ominous Ramirez, Chris Maludo, Matt Cross, The Green Phantom, 2 Tuff Tony, Kerry Morton and Alex Taylor competing in this. J says may the best man win.

Conley is beaten up on by Tony and Cross. Tony lights his hand on fire and punches Cross. Kaleb throws Cross out and punches Tony in the nuts. Kaleb throws out Tony and picks up the win.

Thoughts: Battle royales are tough to film due to all of the action and we likely missed some of the eliminations here. Battle royales are also rarely great and this was not the exception. Thankfully it didn't go too long though. Tony lighting his fist on fire to hit a punch was one of the dumbest spots I've ever seen.

JCW Bloodymania 17 8/17/24 - JCW World Title - Willie Mack (c) vs Matt Cross

Mack does a pre-match promo from the parking lot. He says he has to go up against one of his best friends. He says he's up 2-0 by him and says he was told this is Matt's last chance. He says it's go hard or go home. He says he plans on carrying the title on to the new millennium.

Matt Cross does a promo. He said his quest began 21 years ago in 2003. He says he's been all over the world, trying to do what he does on his terms. He says he gets a shot against Mack tonight.

Matt is caught on a crossbody and takes a slam. Mack standing moonsaults him for 2. Matt takes a shot while on the ropes. Matt backslides Mack for 2 and hits a handspring cutter. Matt top rope ssp's him and wins.

Thoughts: The match wasn't anything special. They didn't play up the friendship angle much at all and there wasn't a lot of build for Cross winning the title. They got a decent amount of time for it but it was an indy style match. They were also outside and not in front of a true wrestling crowd which hurt the heat.

They shake hands after. 

We get a music video on Cross' time in JCW and him winning the title. Jerry Lynn, Jeff Jarrett, Jay Lethal, Glacier, Nick Gage, Facade, Dani Mo, Matt Riddle, The Kiss Demon, Sonny Kiss, Vanilla Ice and George South congratulate Cross for winning the JCW Title.

Thoughts: It was a nice video. They put over Cross and the title win big, probably better than they actually put over the road to the title.

Overall thoughts: It was a longer episode at 1 hour and 23 minutes. 2 of the 5 matches were taped a week before the show started airing. None of the matches were that great. They told a nice story with Cross finally winning the title but they didn't do a great job building up to it and didn't get the most out of it that they could have which hurt it. There also wasn't any interaction between Cross and Mack since their last meeting when promos between the two to build this match would have helped the story and program out. 2 Tuff Tony lit his hand on fire in a stupid spot in a battle royale. Colt Cabana vs Willie Mack was average. Nick Gage and Pondo had a deathmatch. And The Brothers of Funstruction vs The Southern Six was acceptable. I wouldn't recommend this one.
