Violent J says JCW wants to appeal to more than just Juggalos
Violent J says his Juggalo Championship Wrestling is “hungry for a new goal.”
During a recent appearance on The Bryan and Vinny Show, Violent J said JCW is looking to expand the reach of its promotion from appealing to Juggalos to appealing to a wider wrestling audience.
Violent J said:
“I feel like our whole company has been hungry for a new goal, a new pursuit. Because in music, we just kept accomplishing the same goal. We set a goal in the beginning and we reached it, and we reached it again and we reached it again as the years kept going by.”
“We decided to get serious about JCW and actually try to compete with these other companies and try to bring entertainment and be taken seriously, even if the show is a lot of times tongue-in-cheek, you know what I mean? We wanted to set out and really try to become something wrestling fans would enjoy and not just the fans of our music.”
While JCW programming can be over the top, Violent J says he wants the promotion’s shows to appeal to all wrestling fans and feature a variety of wrestling styles.
“I want it to appeal to all wrestling fans. I want a little bit of everything, of all types of wrestling. I want a little bit of everything in there so that, no matter who you are, what you’re into, you’re gonna see something you like, you know what I mean?
And I don’t want it to just appeal to Juggalos. JCW used to be really wild, with really offensive commentary, and we weren’t trying, though. It was just for Juggalos. It was for ICP’s fan base.”
Episodes of JCW Lunacy air Thursday nights on the Psychopathic Records YouTube channel. JCW also recently posted the full StrangleMania show from WrestleMania 42 week in Las Vegas.
