Juggalo Championship Wrestling 8/29/2026 JCW Lunacy Episode 97 

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/08/juggalo-championship-wrestling-8202026.html

We are in Saginaw, MI.  Mark Roberts, Joe Dombrowski and Veda Scott are on commentary.

Violent J and Caleb Konley talk. J complains about him saying Vince Russo isn't here. Caleb says he can't do anything about it. J asks why Russo brought GCW in. Cal asks what the big deal is. Cal says GCW is good for their ratings and says Brett Lauderdale isn't a big guy. J says h e went to war with Brett and says Cal wasn't here then. J says Cal started the fire. Cal asks if he's scared of Brett and GCW. The JWO comes in. J says he's not scared of GCW, he's scared for GCW.

The JWO of Violent J, Painful Paul, Willie Mack and 2 Tuff Tony come out. J says they are live here in Saginaw, MI. J says he's proud of the JWO and the job they did at Bloodymania 19. He puts over his crew for the win. J says lets bring The Luciano Family out here right now. 

The Luciano Family of Big Vito, Vincenzo and Sally Boy come out. J says they did an excellent job of getting their @ss kicked at Bloodymania 19. Vito says he had the worst time of his life at The Gathering as all the juggalos suck. Vito then tells everyone to get the stuff off their faces like usual.

Vito calls J "fatboy" and says he doesn't mean Vito or Mack. He then calls Paul a "jolly green piece of sh!t". Vito says The JWO didn't win sh!t at Bloodymania. Vito says the fix was in. He says J put Mad Man Pondo in there to call the match in his favor and says J recruited Paul to be with The JWO. J says Vito's pockets weren't deep enough and says they were able to purchase the services of Paul thanks to the fans' money over the years. J says Vito is sounding pathetic. 

Vito says he made a phone call before he came out and spoke to Vince Russo. He says Russo owed him a favor. Vito says there's a No DQ Italian Street Fight where Big Vito will face Painful Paul. J says that's not a favor, Russo just sealed Vito's grave. Vito says he can seal their graves anytime. J says a deal is a deal and Vito lost. He says one of The Luciano Family members is coming with The JWO. 

The JWO huddle up. J says they are choosing Sally Boy to be with them for 30 days. Vito says a deal is a deal. He says Sally must go with them for 30 days. Vito tells J not to screw Sally around. J then tells them to take a walk.

The hosts talk.

Mac Davis talks outside. He sees some giant thing with a lot of hair and a skull mask walk into the forest and says we better go back inside.

The Headbangers of WWF fame walk into the building. 

Mac Davis interviews The Headbangers. Most says they were invited here by Violent J. Mac says that's BS and says they put a hit on ICP in WWF 30 years ago. Thrasher laughs and says it was a brief introduction to the business. The Head's and Mac accuse each other of lying and the segment ends.

Krule vs. Disco Ray

We haven't seen Ray for a while.

Ray tries to get Krule to dance. Rey does disco dances and Krule is watching. Ray tells him it's his turn then ducks a shot from Krule. Ray backhands him and Krule facekicks him down. Krule hits shots on him in the corner and facekicks him off the apron and into the rails. Krule sends Ray into the rails.

Ray is back body dropped on the apron. Krule corner splashes him twice and running lariats him. Krule full nelson drops him face first on the mat. Krule pins him.

Thoughts: It was short and it was what it should have been with Krule squashing Ray easily.

The JWO talk to Sally Boy in the back. J tells Sally to get it right or he will slap him. They make Sally say, "we will never die alone, juggalos will carry on, swing our hatchets if we must". The Headbangers walk in and are friendly with Violent J. The Head's say you can't have Lunacy without them. J tells them to bring them all they got as they face 2 Tuff Tony and Willie Mack. The Head's and J shake hands and they say they will see them all later. J then gets serious. He tells Mack and Tony to hurt them tonight. He says he can't believe they took the bait. He says he wants them to do to them what they they did to him and Shaggy 25 years ago in Michigan. He tells them to do it for him as he can't anymore. Sally says something and Mack gets mad.

Vincenzo plays cards with The Outbreak, Disco Ray and Shane Mercer. Ray thinks he won but he has nothing. Shane has 3 Kings. One of The Outbreak spits up cards and growls at the other. Vinny doesn't want to touch the cards. Shane does and Vinny says he has nothing. The other Outbreak member throws chips in and he has a Full House. Vinny gets mad. Dani Mo comes in and says not to yell. She says they are just learning and won. Vinny tells Ray and Shane to do something as they leave.

Mac Davis talks to GCW in the back. Brett is asked what they are doing here and Brett says Vince Russo invited them as their VIP guests. Nick Gage says they are here to do whatever they want. Slade says they are here to hurt people and cause pain. One of the guys then puts a switchblade up in Mac's face. Brett says they are here because of the numbers. He says 2 Tuff Tony and Willie Mack aren't getting it done and they are here to boost ratings. Mac says "boost this" and gives them the middle finger once they have left.

Kerry Morton comes out to talk. Kerry said he had a week to think about what happened in the past with Lunacy. He says he went to defend his battle royal title and was attacked by Caleb Konley. He says if Caleb wants to fight so bad, why doesn't he just whoop him right now? He says he's not asking for sympathy, he just wants the fans to stand behind him one more time. He says Caleb can hit him with a title or hit him low but he can't take his pride. He says he's giving Caleb a set of balls to come out and talk face to face.

Caleb Konley comes out. Cal says the fans can boo him all they want and throw stuff at him. He says it won't change the fact that he's the champ and is better than them. Cal says he's better than Kerry too. Kerry asks if he should kiss him, spank him or shove his foot up his @ss and show him who daddy is. 

Kerry says he knows Cal has something to prove, but he's the wrong guy to try to prove things with. Kerry says he got up everyday because he's not better than the people. Cal says the people didn't accept him because he's a phony.  He says Kerry isn't a juggalo and wouldn't know a joker's card if it was up his @ss. He says this is another payday for The Morton Family only. 

Kerry says he loves the chip Caleb has on his shoulder and loves how he goes to Russo's office to create magic. Kerry says this isn't about him, Caleb or Russo. He says it's about the people and says they deserve a fighting and defending champ. 

Kerry asks for 5 more minutes with him. He says he can whoop his @ss in 5 minutes and take the title from him. He says he can then pawn the belt, take the silver and share it with the fans. He says he will beat him and make an example of him, showing why he's not the real Lunacy champ.  Caleb asks if the fans really want 5 more minutes. Caleb says there ain't gonna be no rematch.

Vince Russo cuts in via webcam. He says there won't be a rematch but says Kerry has an idea with 5-minute challenges. He says he will book him in 3 matches in the next few weeks. He says if Kerry can't win or loses in under 5 minutes, he will be fired from JCW. 

Caleb leaves and Kerry says to cut the music. He tells him to come back. Kerry says he accepts the challenge on one circumstance - when he beats his opponents, he will get his title rematch in an Anything Goes Match. Kerry says maybe it'll even be a Saginaw Streetfight. Caleb says he will talk to Russo about it and says maybe the fans will get to see him wrestle this bumpkin.

Thoughts: Kerry was in full face mode here which was something different. The Russo/Kerry feud continues on. 

Steven Flowe and The Ring Rat are interviewed by Mac. Rat says he doesn't like CoKane or James Storm. She says Shane Mercer is spooky. Steve says he drives on opportunity and stole the show when he opened for The Stones. Mac asks if it's "The Kidney Stones". Steve threatens to hit him with his guitar. Mac said he thought he sold it to Shane. Steve says he bought the guitar back for double the value and tells Mac to check The Blue Book. Mac says he won't because he's not buying a f*cking car.

Sally is with The JCW in the back. Sally is complaining and Violent J tells him to quit crying. J says they aren't that bad. Mack tries to get Sally to drink Moon Mist. Sally is hesitant and Paul has to threaten him. Sally coughs but takes another drink. Mad Man Pondo comes in. He says he's sorry he's late and asks when he's up. Violent J says he's a done and done and it doesn't mean he has a contract. Pondo asks if there's nothing and J says nothing but lovin'. He then high fives him. Sally drinks more and The JWO says Sally loves it.

Dani Mo talks to The Outbreak. She says if they want to be normal, they have to be okay with being stupid. She then has them do Tiktok dances. They dance then end up fighting with each other.

JCW Lunacy World Title #1 Contendership Four Way Match - James Storm vs. Shane Mercer vs. CoKane vs. Steven Flowe

Caleb Konley is on commentary for this.

Kane flips into the ropes, everyone throws straws and the four men fight. Steve boots Kane in the corner. Kane slaps him. They do some rolls and Steve flips into the ropes then armdrags him off of it. Kane hits snake eyes on Steve and running facekicks him. Steve ducks a lariat and topes outside. Kane dives out, gets caught by SM and is thrown onto Steve.

SM release suplexes Kane for 2. Storm atomic drops SM. Storm pulls SM down inside. Storm corner lariats Steve. SM and Kane double lariat each other. Steve top rope swantons Kane and SM together. Steve 2nd rope whisper in wind's Storm. Kane puts cocaine on himself and spinning tombstones Steve. SM deadlifts him into a release german. Storm hits a whirlybird on Steve and pins him.

Thoughts: It was short, chaotic and fine. They kept it entertaining and got out before it had any chance to get bad. Storm won so he's back in the thick of things.

Storm goes up to Caleb after and gets in his face. 

The hosts talk.

Italian Street Fight - Big Vito vs. Painful Paul

Vito comes out and hits shots on PP. PP back body drops him. Vito goes out to ringside and then walks through the crowd. Vito hits him with a trash can. PP hits Vito with a trash can. PP knees him in the gut and clubs his back. Vito hits some shots and PP punches him with something. 

Vito is sent into a bar stand. Vito hits shots on PP and bangs his head off a bar stand. They get on the stage and then the ramp. Vito pulls PP's throat down over the top rope. Vito takes a spinning side slam for 2. PP jackhammers him for 2. Sally Boy comes out with a baseball bat and he's totally drunk. Vito tells Sally to go. Sally swings the baseball bat and nails Vito. PP chokeslams Vito and pins him. Sally kind of smiles after but is drunk.

Thoughts: I was expecting Vito having some kind of twist here to give him an edge but it didn't happen. I think Vito could have used a low blow or some other kind of heel tactic to make this make more sense. What we did get was acceptable though and they had the right idea with Vito having the crap kicked out of him.

Mac Davis interviews a drunk Sally Boy in the back. Sally slurs his words and says it's an accident. Mac asks if Vito will agree and Sally says it'll be no problem. He then laughs and coughs. Sally then falls off the chair.

GCW talks in the back. Brett says Russo wanted them to boot ratings and says the JWO drops the ratings. They then spot a camera man filming and call him a rat. Nick Gage then punches him and the camera guy is stomped.

The Head Bangers (Mosh & Thrasher) vs. The JWO (2 Tuff Tony & Willie Mack)

Violent J is on commentary. He says a juggalo does not forget.

All 4 men fight. Tony hits punches on Thrasher then Mack joins in. Thrasher takes a double shoulderblock. Tony hits mounted corner punches on Thrasher. Tony is thrown out. Tony's head is banged off the rails. Thrasher running forearms Tony. Mosh jumps on Tony off the ropes, pulls up his skirt and taunts Painful Paul outside.

Most stomps Tony. He then la silla's him on the ropes and rides his neck. Mosh goes up and over his partner and jumps on a bridged Tony. Mosh chokes tony on the ropes. The ref yells at Mosh and Mosh throws him down. Mosh then throws the ref out. The ref is sent into the post.

The Head's double boot Tony in the corner. Mad Man Pondo comes in to take over as ref. Tony punches Mosh and Mosh knees him in the gut. Mosh stomps Tony. Mosh back splashes Tony in the corner.

Mosh misses a backsplash and Tony cutters him. Mack and Thrasher get in. Mack lariats both opponents and corner splashes them. Mosh is sent into Thrasher. Tony slams Thrasher. Tony 2nd rope moonsaults Thrasher. GCW's Nick Gage then hits Mack with a knedo stick, knocking off the top. Otis Cougar chairs Mack outside and Slade joins in. Tony argues with Brett Lauderdale. Team GCW them jumps Tony. The match then ends without a finish.

Thoughts: It was fine. The Head's beat up up Tony, Mack got the hot tag in and the Team GCW ran in after. It was a simple match but it made sense and furthered storylines.

Team GCW continues the beat down. The Headbangers get in the ring and back Team GCW off. The Head's help Tony and Mack up then hit short arm clotheslines on them. Team GCW then jumps back in and joins in on the beat down. Violent J then leaves commentary and grabs a kendo stick. Team GCW runs and The Headbangers also leave.

Mac Davis tries to interview Team GCW in the back and asks what that was. Brett says they told him what would happen - they would do what they wanted, cause pain and drive the ratings up. Brett says it only gets better and says the ratings will go up. Mac then gets bumped into.

Overall thoughts: It was pretty strong show. The JWO vs Team GCW and JWO vs Headbangers storylines both progressed throughout this one and made sense. They've found another fun story with Dani Mo trying to civilize The Outbreak and the Sally Boy/JWO/Vito storyline is working too. The matches were all acceptable and on the shorter end of things. I enjoyed this one and thought it was one of JCW's best efforts. I'd give this a 7 out of 10. This was good.
