Rob Van Dam on Juggalo Championship Wrestling: ‘They’re about to blow up’
Rob Van Dam sees good things in the future for Juggalo Championship Wrestling.
The promotion founded by Insane Clown Posse’s Violent J made headlines in late 2025 with the hiring of Vince Russo as both its head writer and an on-screen character. RVD recently told GamesHub that he’s spoken with Violent J about a possible role in the company.
RVD said:
“The clowns seem right now to be getting all the news, all the media. They’ve got Vince Russo writing their shows now and before Vince came along, I’ve been talking to some people and some of those are my friends who founded it, Violent J (Joe Bruce) from ICP. And he’s been asking if there’s anything I could do to help their company.”
RVD continued, saying he believes JCW is the most underrated promotion currently and that it’s “about to blow up.”
“So I’m gonna say right now, that’s probably the most underrated (promotion) because people don’t know that they’re about to blow up.”
“Just recently, all the comments that I’ve read are so positive. The fans are so excited about what they’re doing and you want to talk about a promoter who’s a hard worker that’s done everything himself, right from the bottom? That’s Violent J!”
Matt Cardona won the JCW World Championship on the January 1 episode of JCW Lunacy, the promotion’s weekly YouTube show. Following Cardona’s return to WWE on the January 2 episode of SmackDown, Russo released a statement on social media acknowledging the risk involved in putting the title on someone who could return to WWE at any time.
Russo wrote:
“Does anybody really believe that you don’t know the risk involved when you put your belt on a former @WWE WRESTLER? That you don’t understand that he/she could return to the company at any time?”
The January 8 episode of JCW Lunacy, available below, features a number one contender match for the JCW World Championship between Mr. Anderson and James Storm. Cagematch lists the show having been taped at Harpos Concert Theatre in Detroit on November 22, 2025.
