Juggalo Championship Wrestling 3/5/2026 Lunacy Episode 73

Juggalo Championship Wrestling 3/5/2026 Lunacy Episode 73

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/02/juggalo-championship-wrestling-2262026.html

Joe Dombrowski and Veda Scott are on commentary.

Vince Russo, Big Vito and Caleb Konley come out. Russo says we've got problems in JCW. He said he took off last week and there was utter chaos here. He blames Vito for it. Russo says they were like brothers for 35 years and can't get along now. He says real men take responsibility and he will do that tonight. He says there's a lot of questions and he will give us answers. 

He says when he came here, he knew the company needed a leader. He said he watched everyone on the roster and said one person stood out. He says he was a little raw, a little green and needed to get a little serious. He says Caleb Konley is what a champ looks like. He says he's the real deal and the chosen one by him. 

He says there was one problem - a wise@ss named Kerry Morton. He says he's a punk, has a chip on his shoulder and has 0 respect. He said he made a deal with Matt Cross and said whatever you have to do, you keep Kerry away from Caleb. He said he sent Kerry to Japan to wrestle to learn respect.

Violent J comes out. J says he knew it all along - Russo f*cked him. he said Russo rollover and outed him out of JCW forever. He says he f*cked him. Russo says that's not the way it went down. He says Cross f*cked him because of his problems with Cross. He says he wanted to f*ck JCW because of his heat with him.

Vito grabs the mic and says both are ridiculous and make him sick. Vito says J reneged on a contract and is back like a buttery b!tch. He says J didn't make it on TikTok and came back to this hip hop bs. Vito says this is his company and J is never allowed back. Russo separates them and Vito throws down Russo. He calls Russo a piece of sh!t and says how dare he turn on him. PCO and Mickie Knuckles come out. J shoves Vito. Mickie low blows J from behind. J is beaten up by Vito's crew. Willie Mack and 2 Tuff Tony make the save.

We go to break and return. J is hurt in the back and Tony/Mack check on him. Tony asks why he didn't let him know he was back. Tony says they are getting the band back together. Vince Russo comes in to check on J and Tony tells him to get out of here before he gets hurt. Tony says next time he'll be prepared.

Vito's crew talks in the back. Vito says they want the tag titles from The Clowns then says they will take care of more family business. Mickie flirts with Vito the whole time. Vito says tonight's the night where he will expose the clowns for who they are - a bunch of frauds.

The announcers run down tonight's card.

JCW World Tag Team Title #1 Contendership Three Way Match - 2 Tuff Tony & Willie Mack vs. Flowe Caine (CoKane & Steven Flowe) vs. The Outbreak (Abel Booker & Jacksyn Crowley)

Mack and Tony won the tag titles last week through dubious means but returned them and I guess they are officially not the champs.

Tony's team fights The Outbreak. Tony side headlocks one of them then shoulders him over. The zombie bridges. Tony makes the one zombie ddt the other. Tony slams a zombie and Kane tags himself in on the moonsault attempt.

Flowe tags himself in on Kane. Kane doesn't expect it and Kane takes a corner death valley driver from Tony. Flowe comes off the top and takes a cutter from Mack. Tony lights his hand on fire and punches Flowe to win.

Thoughts: It was a bit slower than expected. The Outbreak were allowed to both be in the ring for almost all of this when they shouldn't have been allowed. They definitely teased that Kane and Flowe weren't on the same page here. It was just a match and nothing too special.

Mack and Tony try to help up Flowe after but get nowhere with it.

Shane Mercer comes out and beats up Flowe. CoKane saves Flowe and fights Shane to the back. Kane comes back and Flowe leaves without him.

Alice Crowley goes up to Vince Russo in the back. Russo thanks her for asking about his wife and thanks her for giving up her title as the showrunner. She said she talked to Vito and Vito told her to drink cream soda. She said it made her feel better. She says she's sorry to Russo. Russo says he understand her. He says he has had 3 women in wrestling tell him about being sexually abused. He says what women go through in the business is something he understands. He says he doesn't blame her but understands. Russo says he's proud of her and tells her to kick some @ss. They then hug.

We get a video of Red Love talking about to get rid of your problems. He says to identify the problem. He says write the problem down and every detail involved with it. He says the last step is to set it on fire.

It was average though everyone hit their stuff clean and there was nothing bad about it. We'll have to see what the finish was about.

J-Rod and the ring girl stomp Al then walk to the back.

Vince Russo tells Caleb Konley they will accuse him of playing favorites. He says Caleb can't let up and says it needs to be full speed every night.

Russo tells Caleb that's what he meant with people coming for him. Stephen Flowe comes in. He says he wants a match with Shane Mercer tonight. Russo says he will see what he can do.

We get another Green Phantom video where he talks about the issues he sees in JCW. He says he's coming and a true hero is on his way.

Wolf low flying knees him for 2. Wolf backrolls him, Fac backrolls him and grabs the tights to win.

Thoughts
: It got enough time to play out and was acceptable. It wasn't their best stuff but it was definitely a step up from some of the other stuff here.

Vito is on the phone in the back. Russo comes up and asks if he put his hands on him. Vito asks what he will do about it? Russo asks if he thinks we can fix this. Vito says he'll get back to him on that.

Mac Davis interviews Violent J. Mac says J has only been back for a bit and already got his @ss kicked. J says that's fine. He says using violence as a welcoming party is fine with him. He says he doesn't like what this place has become and it's a hurricane on insanity. He says it needs a fix. J says he doesn't trust Russo and will get to the bottom of this.

Steve goes up top and SM enzugiri's him. SM goes for a fallaway slam and Steve 2nd rope sunset bombs him to win.

Thoughts
: I was surprised they had Steven win here. They did what they were supposed to with Shane throwing him around and Steve having to resort to luck to win as the underdog.

Shane hits forearms on Steve then hits mounted shots. Shane gorilla press tombstones him. CoKane then comes out and Shane runs. Kane helps Steven up and Steven shoves him. Steven then leaves alone.

The Brothers of Funstruction talk. Yabo says Vito might interfere tonight and expose them. Ruffo says he doesn't care and says let him expose them. He says they did everything together and are the JCW Tag champs. 

We get a video on Kerry Morton, paid for by Kerry Morton. Kerry is in Osaka, Japan. He says it's funny how jealous Russo is of him to send him to Japan. He says Russo did himself a disservice and Kerry said he sold out of all his merch. He says when he comes back, he is excited to see him. 

Blast from the Past

We see clips of The Ring Rydas vs Paul London and Brian Kendrick from 8/11/2013. The Rydas end up winning.

JCW World Tag Team Title Match - The Brothers Of Funstruction (Ruffo The Clown & Yabo The Clown) (c) vs. Luciano Family Enterprises (Mickie Knuckles & PCO)

Yabo top rope double stomps Ruffo's back when MK moves. Yabo is lariated over the top and ends up going over the rail on the landing. MK germans Ruffo. PCO top rope moonsaults Ruffo and pins him.

Thoughts: It was average for the most part and the crowd wasn't super into it. I was surprised Mack and Tony didn't get the shot here after what happened last week. I didn't like the clowns screwing around in a title match. There was mostly just basic strikes here for the most part. Yabo took a neat bump where he was lariated over the top then went over the rail on the landing.

Big Vito comes out and hands his crew the tag titles after. Vito congratulates his crew. He tells the crowd to stick it up their @ss. He says The Brothers of Funstruction didn't listen to him. He says they are actually two of the most famous gangsters that ever lived. Vito says they have been in witness protection hiding under clown faces. He says the one is named Joey "Two Times" Ciccone and the other is Danny "The Drill" Ciccone. He says they embarrassed La Cosa Nostra. He says they took an oath and will die in hell. He says they are dead next week.

Overall thoughts: We got a bit more wrestling than usual here. None of it was great but it was tolerable, but this is more of a storyline based show. Wolf/Facade was the best match on here and maybe Flowe/Mercer was in consideration as well. The show also got an extra 20 minutes or so, but that didn't necessarily help it. While some of the participants in the matches might have been a bit random, every match had some kind of reason for it to happen. It was an easy show to watch with a lot going on. I thought it was okay overall but nothing must see. I'd give it a 6 out of 10.

We are at WJCT Studios in Jacksonville. Ian Riccaboni and Caprice Coleman are on commentary. There's not a lot of fans here and it does remind me a bit of the old AWA pink room.

Thoughts: Sid's flying was amazing as usual. He just does so much stuff nobody else can. Kom didn't quite go all out here but he did a bit of flying too. Some of the non-flying stuff could have been better but I liked this.

We get a video on Alec Price and Jordan Oliver.

Thoughts: It was a longer tag. There was nothing wrong with it but it just didn't turn into a great match for some reason. I was surprised to see the girls go at it here during the match.  

Big Bill and Bryan Keith (Paid in Full) come out and have words for Skyflight after.

Paid in Full (Big Bill and Bryan Keith) vs Kiran Grey and Darian Bengston

Four Leaf Clover Four Corner Survival Elimination Match - Matt Menard vs. Shane Taylor vs. AR Fox vs. Lee Johnson

Thoughts:
I thought the stipulation was pretty dumb. A title match should be built up to and not just thrown out there in a green box. It was not really the fast paced affair you would expect and mostly there were only 2 people wrestling during this one. Shane vs Matt Menard isn't a match we see everyday. It was acceptable and AR brought some of the highlights with this flying. 

AR opens up the green box and it's an AEW International Title shot.

Thoughts:
Okada won as expected.They did what they could with the situation but didn't have that much time to work with. It wasn't anything too special.

Overall thoughts
: It was a long show at 2 hours. You never know how long these shows will go and I was planning for around 80 minutes. As usual, almost everything was random here and there was little reason to care about most of these matches, so the show didn't need to go so long. The one advantage to these separate tapings is that everything got enough time to play out. But it was business as usual. ROH has 8 titles. None of them were up for grabs here and Shane Taylor was the only person with a title (the trios title), who was on the show. Komander/Sidney Akeem was probably my favorite bout there but nothing was too great. I'd give this a low 6 out of 10 and the show was just okay, but mostly a waste of time.

CWA Campeones del Hexagono 7/9/2022

CWA Campeones del Hexagono 7/9/2022

Luis Toledo and Robert Diaz are on commentary.

CWA Heavyweight Title - Manuel Rodriguez (c) vs Leinord White

LW misses a charge and MR hits some punches. MR takes a single arm ddt then is thrown down by the arm. LW stomps and knee drops the arm. He armlocks him and sends him into the buckles shoulder first. LW armlocks him.


We go to break. One wrestler talks to Hiram Tua (bald guy) in the parking lot. That guy calls Tua the only free agent who promotes CWA shirts. The one in the suit says he will know him and wants a shot at the title. 

We return from break. LW has an armlock on MR. He stomps the arm and hammerlocks him. LW bites him then MR double axe handles him. LW dropkicks him for 2. LW wraps his arm around the 2nd rope.

LW crucifixes him for 2 then crossfaces him. MR roprebreaks. LW hits a big lariat that makes the announcer yell. The ref counts 3 but LW gets his arm up at the last second. White wins. The pinfall still counts.

Thoughts: It was fine. White got his arm worked on, threw some decent punches and won with a nice lariat out of nowhere.

Hansel Velez is asked about the next challenger and he says he will look for the best possible challenger. He says they haven't made the next challenger an official member of the roster but they have a good relationship with him. 


Hansel Velez talks to Rey Maldonado in the back about a recent finish in a match. Chris Ifer walks in. He says he made a commitment and his team got the win. Velez says he has a lot of potential. He says the two should team up as they need to strengthen the tag division. The two wrestlers argue. Ifer doesn't want to be in a tag team but Velez insists. Ifer says Velez is different than other matchmakers and Velez agrees. Ifer says he will get Maldonado the win and says they will do it. 

CWA Tag Titles - Los Inmortales (Orly Jr. & Tapia) (c) vs La Pareja Mas Estable (Bambino & Rodrigo Garcia) 

 

Orly has the long hair and Tapia is bald.

Los Inmortales go to confront the commentators but are backed off. 

Los Inmortales stall to start. RG and Tapia lock up. RG waistlocks him and Tapia escapes. Tapia throws him off the lock up. RG hits leg kicks on him then flying headscissors him. RG dropkicks him and sends him out. Orly is then sent out by RG. Bam back body drops RG onto Los Inmortales outside.

RG and Tapia trade shots outside. Bam punches and headbutts Orly out. RG hits shots on Tap inside. Tap goes up and over then samoan drops him for 2. RG takes a double back elbow. Orly stomp on RG and abuses him on the ropes. Tap then chokes RG on the ropes. 

We go to break. Jesus El Olimpico does a promo. He says he's here to look for his opportunity on 7/30. He says he will show who he is. We return from break. Tap chinlocks RG. RG elbows out of it then Tap superkicks him for 2. Tap chokes RG. Orly stomps RG. RG suplexes him. RG springboard falling backsplashes him for 2. 

Orly cutters RG for 2. RG boots Tap out of the corner then casadora bulldogs him. Bam and Orly get in. Bam hits big chops and back body drops him. Bam atomic drops him twice then hits lariats. Orly begs off. Bam boots him and ddt's him for 2.

Tap hits punches on Bam. The wrestlers pair off in the corners. The heels are sent into each other then both get rolled up for 2. Tap rolls RG into a sitout bomb. Bam hits a big wind up punch on Tap. Bam corner hip attacks Orly then misses one on Tap. Tap spears Bam. Orly goes for a gori bomb but RG sunset flips him for 2. RG drops Orly with a punch with a foreign object and pins him. 

Thoughts: The crowd was really hot for this. Bambino is great. He can't move that well due to his size but he really knows how to do old babyface punches and he can fire up. He's super lovable. This was a fun little tag. It wasn't the cleanest or the most advanced tag ever but the crowd was into it and both teams played their roles well.

Los Inmortales confront the commentators after. Robert Diaz grabs a tie iron and gets hi. The heels pry it away from him and send him in the ring. Tapia chokes Rob. Orly goes for the tire iron shot and Manual Rodriguez makes the save. Manuel hits some great shots on the heels and drops them. Rob then turns and low blows Manuel. Los Inmortales stomp on Manuel and choke him with the tire iron. Angel Rodriguez comes out. He pushes Los Inmortales aside and hugs Rob. The four then pose. 

Angel gets on the mic after but I'm not sure what he says. 

Luis Toledo is shocked by all of this and said Robert Diaz betrayed the company. He says a new hour begun with Diaz's new crew. Angel Rodriguez and Los Inmortales do a promo after. He said they stayed in the CWA while the other rats fled the ship. He says the CWA is the company of the people. He says they came implant the real difference. He says "no revolts".

Overall thoughts: It was a fun show. The opener was fine. The tag title match was fun with Bambino coming across like Dusty Rhodes. We got a big turn at the end of the show and the crowd was hot all night long. I'd give this a 6 out of 10 overall.

Thoughts
: It wasn't anything too special and was a bit distracting with Tessa on commentary and so many girls hanging out around the ring. Grace won as expected.

Gia Miller tries to interview The Nemeth's but they mess the audio up to start. Nic says Leon pulled a fast one on him at the PPV but he put him back in his place last week. He says Leon is a hell of an athlete and will run the business someday, but he's not him. The audio goes out again. Ryan then tells Gia she makes him sick and Gia says to feel better.

The Elegance Brand is in the ring minus Ash. George says Ash is out for mental health reasons due to the fans and Mickie James. Heather says Ash isn't a mark but her hero and best friend. Heather says the fans are disrespectful. M says Mickie had her era and it's now the era of elegance. 

The Brand points out Mama June in the front row, a c-level reality star. The Brand say they have elegance and class which is something she doesn't understand. M says her being here is offensive. She says she belongs on a food truck.

M and Heather's heads are banged together. ODB gives Mama's June crew food and they spill them on The Brand. 

Leon Slater talks to The Hardy's. Matt says Leon is taking on one of the greatest in Nic Nemeth. Leon says he never got to thank them and says he wouldn't be champ without them. Matt says Leon earned everything. Jeff says they will watch again. Jeff says they will watch the four-way tonight but are always ready no matter who wins.

Thoughts
: I figured The System or The Righteous were winning here. It was a fast paced and okay bout here with some flying and a lot of people tagging in and out constantly.

Rosemary is in a mental asylum. She talks but the music is too loud to hear here. She says there's one last shot at making things right. Something appears and disappears behind her.

Moose and Alisha Edwards come out. Moose says the one thing that p!sses him off about The System is that they call themselves a family. He says it's a group of 4 guys who get their feelings hurt when one guy outshines them. Moose points out his former Atlanta Falcons teammates and calls them family. Moose says The System's new motto is, "You can't beat The System".

Moose says he will start beating every member of The System next week. He says he will beat Cedric Alexander in an Atlanta Street Fight. He says Brian Myers is next and he will remind him why he was once called Edge's b!tch. He says Bear Bronson can't lace his boots. He says he's saving Eddie Edwards for last. Alisha interrupts.

She says she will stand with him when he beats the System one by one. Moose says he will beat the hell out of Eddie in front of his life.

Thoughts: Mara kicking out of a canadian destroyer was just stupid. It was an average match for the most part but they didn't botch much here. We had a dirty finish in this as well. EB thankfully won as she continues her climb to the top.

AJ Francis does a promo. He says he was supposed to have a big match tonight but ran someone else out of TNA (Mance Warner). He says Atlanta is a town of losers and rips the local sports teams.

Kaz says the casket match was an instant classic. He asks Elijah to tell us his thoughts on it. Eli talks but the sound is messed up. He asks who wants to walk with Elijah?

Leon drops him backwards to break it. Nic superkicks Leon for 2 after Ryan Nemeth distracts Leon.

Leon 2nd rope twisting suplexes Nic. Leon swanton 450's Nic and pins him.

Thoughts: It was an entertaining bout but I don't love Leon beating Nic. Nic's one of the few stars they have and needs to be protected. Leon getting that win over him should have had a lot more build and should have been a bigger deal.

Eric Young comes out and nails Leon with a forearm. Eric piledrivers him on the floor. 

Mike Santana talks in the ring. He said last week he said he was fed up with Maclin and said he didn't have the balls to take accountability. He says him and Tom Hannifan went to bat for Steve but says you can't save everyone. He says he will give Steve what he wants and wants Santino to reinstate Maclin. 

Daria Rae comes out instead. She says Mike doesn't run the show, she does. She says she agrees that Maclin should be reinstated. She says she is officially reinstating Steve Maclin. She says when or if Mike faces him, it's up to her. 

Santino Marella interrupts. Santino says a date has been set and approved for Mike vs Maclin. He says they will have a title match at Sacrifice. Mike says it didn't matter what either had to say as when Maclin steps foot in the building, he has a date with death. 

The commentators talk about Santana vs Maclin to close the show. Tom says the company enabled Maclin and is upset. Matt says Maclin will get his @ss kicked and will get what he wanted.

Overall thoughts: Nemeth/Slater and the 4-way were the best matches on here. This was more about building stuff up for future shows than solving anything on this show. Leon Slater got an upset win over Nic Nemeth. Maclin is back. Rosemary is doing magic and ODB got into a fight with a c-list celeb. We also had tons of audio issues all night long. I'd give this a 6 out of 10 as it was okay for the most part.

WWE Main Event 3/5/2026

WWE Main Event 3/5/2026

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/02/wwe-main-event-2262026.html

Blake Howard and Vic Joseph are on commentary.

Axiom vs Apollo Crews

It's a bit of a rare face vs face match here. Nathan Frazer is with Ax.

AC slides out and Ax topes him. Ax is caught off the buckles and hit with a fallaway slam him for 2. Ax top rope spanish flies him then hits a golden ratio kick to win.

Thoughts:
The fallaway slam spot they did was cool. Apollo didn't really fly here which was surprising but Ax did some. It was fine but it was a lot more grounded than I had expected. 

Karmen Petrovic vs Ivy Nile

They lock up and let go. Ivy back elbows her and throws her down backwards. KP hits kicks on Ivy then throws her down backwards. KP then poses. KP rolls her up for 2 and bodyscisors her.

Thoughts:
It wasn't that good. KP had some very weak strikes here. Ivy didn't get to do a ton and kind of dropped her on a gorilla press slam. KP got a big upset win here as NXT folk rarely ever beat main roster people. We'll have to see what that ends up meaning.

Overall thoughts: It seems like we are going back to the old days where we only had 2 matches. The men's match was decent but the girls match didn't really impress. I wouldn't recommend this one and just thought it was average.

She says don't take the words of your mom lightly because if anyone loves him, it's her. She says she will be well taken care of him. She gives him a rosary and says it will protect him. 

Thoughts: Whoa, they are hitting hard there with that. I've never seen that done in wrestling before.

Overall thoughts:
This was shown a few hours before Euphoria, so everything was directed towards hyping up Euphoria.  This was not a wrestling heavy show and we only saw clips of 2 matches. But they did give us a bunch of new promos and did some last minute hype for the event. There was nothing you really needed to see here though the segment with Zcion and his mom at the end was good. I wouldn't really recommend this.

AEW Dynamite 3/4/2026

AEW Dynamite 3/4/2026

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/02/aew-dynamite-2252026.html

MJF heatseeker piledrivers him and wins.

Thoughts: MJF won as expected but Kevin gave him a good fight. Kevin did some nice high flying and looked like he belonged in the biggest match of his career. It's the personality and mic work that he needs to work on though and we'll have to see if he can get there or not. It was a good match.

MJF throws the ref out and grabs the Dynamite Diamond Ring. Mike Bailey comes in from behind and superkicks MJF out. 

Orange Cassidy and Darby Allin vs Gabe Kidd and Clark Connors

The fight starts as the heels enter the aisleway. DA is sent into the steps then shotgun dropkicks CC into the rails. CC pounes DA into the rails. Gabe hanging guillotines OC from the steps. Oc stands on the timekeepers table then CC runs up the steps and spears him through the table in a cool spot. DA boots Gabe out of the corner and is flipped with a lariat.

Thoughts
: I didn't like the heels losing here, especially to OC, who doesn't need it. It was all action here and they kept things moving. I didn't like OC screwing around with the weak kicks but he kept it short thankfully. I liked this. 

David Finlay comes out and hits the OC/Darby with his shillelagh. Darby is then held for a shillelagh shot. The faces are stacked on each other and DF poses with the heels.

Thoughts
: I'm surprised to see Finlay here instead of in WWE. I don't think he will stand out much or be a big hit here.

This is a lose-lose here as both are new teams and don't need to lose. The Iinspiration debuted on a house show instead of on TV for unknown reasons.

The Iinspiration do an inset promo. They say they are excited to step in the ring with The Birds. They say they don't have the balls to face them and need to step up or step aside. The Iinspiration dance and the music stops. They make the music be played again.

The Birds attack The Iin's then chop them in the corner. The Birds hit a backbreaker then a running lariat. Lee takes a double suplex. The Iin's take stereo lariats. Jessie take a hart attack onto Cassi and both are pinned together.

Thoughts: This was a total squash here and a great way to kill off The Iinspiration before they even get started.

Thoughts: I knew the faces were losing here as there was no reason to make this otherwise. The faces were also a makeshift team so it wasn't going to be a long reign. The match was fine with a lot of fast paced action and flying. The trios rules meant selling and the story didn't matter as much which helped these guys out.

Overall thoughts: The opener worked. I liked the OC/Darby match. David Finlay is now with AEW and I don't think he will do well. The Iinspiration got destroyed in their TV debut for no reason. Mox/Hech was a bit slow and didn't fit in the spot they were given. Thekla/Rosa worked out a lot better than I thought. I liked the main. I'd give it a 7 out of 10. They had a lot of solid wrestling here and everything mostly made sense. I thought it was a good show.
