Joe Dombrowski and Veda Scott are on commentary.
We see clips from last week's episode.
Vince Russo comes out with Big Vito. Vito tells the fans to wipe the clown makeup off. He says there will be no Faygo juice for the fans and says it will never come back. Russo says he has some announcements to make. He introduces a JCW Lunacy Heavyweight Title. Russo says he knows the fans are saying that he should put it on himself. He says he would make a better champ than Punk and wouldn't have to wrestle in a shirt. He says Triple H took their JCW champ. He thanks Matt Cardona for being a great JCW champ.
He says we don't have a JCW champ right now. He says next week there will be a match for the title between James Storm and Mr. Anderson. He says we have another problem - Mad Man Pondo tried to take the life of Moshpit Mike. He says he ordered Vampiro to fire him. He says Vamp told him to shove it up his @ss. He says he then fired Vampiro and Mad Mon Pondo. Russo says he will be the showrunner until further notice.
He says he told Vito the situation with Vito, Steven Flowe and CoKane was over and it's time to get back to business.
Jasmine St. Clair, Kongo Kong and Mr. Happy come out. Kong gets in Vito's face. Jas says it's time to get down to business and says Vito is "Little Vito". He says Vito has a receipt coming. She says she's asking Russo to book Vito vs Kongo Kong for dropping Kong on his head last week.
Vito says Jas is a carnival hussy and says her gap is bigger than a hollowed tunnel. He says if everyone here was drowning on the Titanic, Jas could open her legs and they'd all be saved. Vito says Russo isn't making matches, he is. Vito says there will be a Sicilian Street Fight tonight. Jas asks if he's ready and says they don't need to wait. They get ready to fight but Russo says no and Jas' crew walks off.
Russo asks if this is how Vito has his back. He says he's suppose to be Russo's protector but has done nothing but cause him headaches. Russo says he's trying to turn this place around and Vito has an issue with everybody. Russo says if it wasn't for their 35...then Vito grabs him. Russo then walks off. ICP's music and logo shows then Vito leaves. Vito shoves Dombrowski as he leaves.
The announcers run down the card.

They say no unless he has cashola. Vito says there's not gonna be any cashola and says he hopes there's not gonna be a problem here. The clowns say "you, capice?" and walk off. This catches Vito's attention. Vito then looks in a change purse and finds wallets with Italian wristbands on it. ICP music and one of their logo's plays and Vito asks if we here the music. The camera man asks what music? Vito asks why he's talking to him as he's no psychologist.
We get a ring girl in a g-string with butt tattoos.

Sew hits kicks off the ropes. Sew's springboard is caught and PCO chokeslams him. PCO hits a top rope moonsault and wins.
Thoughts: It was a short one. PCO's not moving so well these days and I don't know if he should be doing that moonsault anymore.
Big Vito grabs the DJ and throws his hat into the crowd. He slaps and pushes him and they say he was asking about who keeps playing the ICP music he is hearing.

Grey headbutts Anderson from the apron then springboards. Anderson catches him and hits a flatliner to win.
Thoughts: I liked the finish here. Anderson lost pretty much all of his muscle and really just looks like a normal person these days. They really worked light here with a lot of shots that didn't really connect. I like Grey though and feel he should be getting more chances than what he does.
Anderson teases signing a fan's belt but then just throws it down over the rail.

Thoughts: It was a JCW ladder match and I think anyone who watched this would agree. The ladders weren't the highest or the best quality but they worked with them. CoKane tried to do cocaine off The Ring Rat and Matt Cross came out to cost Kerry the match. It wasn't boring but it wasn't designed to be a classic.
Big Vito jumps Mr. Happy in the back.

Vito hits chops and boots on Kong. Mr. Happy comes down and clubs on Vito. PCO comes down and hits Mr. Happy from behind. PCO then chokeslams him. Vito lifting ddt's Kong and pins him.
Thoughts: It was mostly all shenanigans here and not too much of note wrestling wise.
Vito then pulls out money and pays PCO after. The music and the logo play. Vito gets upset and the show ends.
Overall thoughts: Russo shows are known for having a lot of things going on and not being boring. That was the case here. JCW and Russo are a really unique combination that work well together. Russo having clowns, cokeheads, pornstars ,monsters and other things to work with is a dream come true for him and Russo's name brings interest wherever it goes. Where things usually fail is that Russo does too much and it stops making sense. I haven't gotten that far along to see if that's the case yet though. You are going to be disappointed if you are looking for great matches or pure technical wrestling, but you've got a lot of promotions that cover that. There's not a lot of promotions out there with clowns, coke dealers and monsters and JCW offers all of that and more. I would totally recommend this.
