He tells him to control his narrative (referencing the promotion). Caleb asks what EC3 we are getting today.
EC asks who Caleb is. Caleb says he's the guy that's gonna knock him out. Caleb hits him and they fight to the outside. EC takes down Caleb in the ring and pounds on him. Refs come down to separate them and Caleb slaps EC. Russo then slaps Jeeves.
Thoughts: Not a big fan of them using insider terms and insider info and they were definitely trying to shoot here on the mic.

Vito tells him to kill the clowns and slap them with his pizza. Primo leaves and Vito calls him a f*cking idiot.
Barnabus the Bizarre talks to The Outbreak. He says they have been clean for 2 hours and he will give them water for detoxing. The Outbreak get hold of oxycodone and Barnabus gets mad as he asks who keeps giving them this stuff.
Luigi Primo vs Father Bronson
This is Bronson's JCW debut. FB comes to the ring with roses and gives them to fans. He then tells the ref to give Primo one. FB gets on the mic. He says the people could be anywhere but chose to be here and get some red love. He tells the fans to applaud themselves for bringing the energy and for being a collection of some of the most mediocre and disgusting pieces of trash he has ever seen. FB says he came here to change lives. He says Primo can take his rose and head to the back. Primo opts not to.
FB boots Primo in the gut and shoulders him over. FB slams him. FB hits knees to the gut of Primo. Primo dropkicks him twice. FB goes for a powerbomb and Primo puts the pizza dough on his head. Primo stunners him. FB catches him off the buckles and drops him down.

Primo enzugiri's him from the apron and facebusters him off the 2nd rope. Primo grabs his dough from the outside and throws it in FB's face.
Primo hits some hard forearms and chops. FB texas cloverleafs him and submit him.
Thoughts: Primo wasn't that bad as a face here as he showed some fire and hit some hard strikes, but it's hard to buy him trying to have a match while throwing dough around. Primo is at least treated like a complete moron though. FB hit a bunch of nice knees to the gut and hits offense looked really solid here. I was surprised FB didn't completely stomp him.
The Brothers of Funstruction grab Big Vito and say he kidnapped his brother. One of the Brothers tells Vito "when you least expect it" and they tell him he can go as Mack and 2 Tuff Tony are there.
Big Al waits for Dani Mo outside. She sees her walk past and tells her to give her some answers. Dani says she wouldn't understand. Al hits her then sends her into a brick wall. Al tells her to give her the answers.

They trade shots. Vito hits chest clubs. PCO hits chops. Vito hits more shots. PCO gets the edge. The Outbreak come out and look to ee if the announcers have drugs. PCO hits back hand shots and a uraken. PCO his him from behind. PCO hits knees to the gut. 2 Tuff Tony and Willie Mack walk in and hit punches on Vito.
The Brothers of Funstruction come in with a "Wet Floor" sign and a "One Way" sign. They beat up on Vito too. Vito gets hit with the signs. Tony stops one of the The Brothers then he nails Vito anyway. PCO lariats Vito and pins him.
Thoughts: It wasn't much of a match, just a babyface beatdown on Vito, paying him back for various things. It made sense though and there was a reason for it.
Blast from the Past
This week's match is Doug Basham and The Damajah vs The Weedman and Billy Bong. Weedman pinned one of The Basham's to win.
Mack Davis goes up to Big Vito in the back and asks if he's okay. Vito gets mad at him. He says he's never been his brother and is an @sshole announcer.

Special Ref - Caleb Konley: EC3 vs Kerry Morton
Cal nails EC from behind before Kerry comes out. They fight and other refs come to break it up. Kerry comes down and stomps EC.

KM teases making friends with EC then tries to kick him low. EC hits a headlock driver on KM. Jeeves comes in and counts the pin for EC, though Jeeves isn't the ref. EC and Jeeves then head to the commentary table. EC talks on the headset but we can't hear him. I think he said that he's here to end Russo booking.
Thoughts: It's hard to blame EC3. He did a smart thing and just left instead of dealing with the bs. The match kind of went as expected with Caleb screwing EC3. Kerry and EC didn't have a great match but it was acceptable enough. Caleb hitting EC before this even started was kind of funny.
Kerry and Caleb argue and shove each other after. They then shake hands. The Green Phantom comes out. Green offers Caleb a handshake then boots him. Green then rebound cutters him. Green takes off his mask and it's Matt Cross. Kerry tells commentary that if you can't beat him, join him.
Overall thoughts: It was the usual JCW Lunacy ep. We had some clever stuff here with all the faces ganging up on Vito and EC3 just leaving his match when it was clear that Caleb Konley was going to screw him. Matt Cross dressing up as The Green Phantom was a cool moment. Father Bronson also debuted here and his offense wasn't bad. Vito's got a new nephew coming in next week which should spice things up and The Outbreak are still on drugs. I'd give it a 6 out of 10. It was a fun little episode though nothing was that great in-ring wise.
