Juggalo Championship Wrestling isn’t wasting any time showing fans what the post-Vince Russo era is going to look like. JCW has announced “Carnival of Chaos” for the 100th episode of Lunacy, and the company is loading up the milestone show with four title matches, a GCW showdown and several other fights.
The special will air live and free on YouTube on Thursday, September 24 at 7 p.m. Eastern through the Psychopathic Records YouTube channel. JCW is pitching the show as more than just a celebration of 100 episodes, saying it will also set a new direction for the promotion after Russo’s departure earlier this week. JCW made that point clear in its announcement.
“This landmark episode promises to deliver a loaded card of wrestling action, unforgettable moments, and set a new path for the entire JCW promotion.”
Russo’s exit is hanging over the entire thing. After spending roughly a year with JCW, Russo announced that he and Violent J had amicably agreed to part ways, leaving Thursday’s show as the first major look at what comes next without him. Violent J had nothing but love for Russo while looking back on a partnership that lasted much longer than originally planned.
“Vince Russo has been nothing short of a massive blessing for JCW and to me personally. Originally we planned a two-to-three month run together and we ended up doing Lunacy for a year. I feel forever indebted to the man, and I’ll miss having his legendary presence on our show.”
But Violent J also made it clear JCW isn’t hitting the brakes now that Russo is gone. If anything, he sounds ready to hit the gas.
“That being said, I’m extremely excited to keep the momentum going that our entire locker room has created, and continuing to deliver mayhem to our JCW fans every week on Lunacy. This Thursday night, on JCW Lunacy’s 100th episode, the Carnival of Chaos gets rolling. A new era of JCW — one that Lunacy fans will never forget.”
And JCW isn’t kidding about loading up the card. The announced lineup for “Carnival of Chaos” includes:
- JCW World Championship: Caleb Konley vs. Shane Mercer
- JCW Women’s World Championship: Dani Mo vs. Alice Crowley
- JCW Linear World Championship: Josh Bishop vs. Krule vs. Cokane
- JCW World Tag Team Championship: Choppa City vs. The Headbangers
- JCW American Championship: Kerry Morton vs. Father Bronson — 5 Minute Challenge
- Team JWO vs. Team GCW — Special Referee: Mad Man Pondo
- Sally Boy vs. Big Vito — Luciano Confrontation
- Mr. Happy vs. Dijak
So JCW’s 100th Lunacy episode isn’t going to be some quiet victory lap. Russo is gone, Violent J is promising a new era, and the company is throwing practically everything it has onto one show to make sure people notice.
