If you had told me a year ago that the Juggalos would have one of the most anticipated shows this WrestleMania Weekend, I would have called you a fucking mark, bro. Turns out, I’m the one who was swerved, and StrangleMania is the show I’m looking forward to the most. Thank you, Vince Russo!
This Juggalo Championship Wrestling will be bad, but that’s the charm. On a weekend full of shows doing the funny ha ha bullshit of trying to be bad on purpose, JCW will put on their usual fun bad show, and it will rock. If you haven’t been keeping up with the JCW Lunacy show on YouTube every Thursday night, expect a fun party atmosphere in this crowd, who is ready for everything that comes their way. It’s refreshing to see a crowd that’s engaged with everything put in front of them.
The main event of the night will be Vampiro’s 67th retirement match. He just returned to JCW on last week’s Lunacy show by taking out Big Vito with one of the worst clotheslines you’ll never see… because they cut the footage.
Big Vito is one of my favorite non-wrestlers in 2026 (his promos unironically rock, especially when he promises to fleece Vinny Ru’s family), and he’s in the midst of getting his comeuppance for taking over the company from Violent J for a bit. PCO was under his employ in the Luciano Family – yes, that Luciano Family – but recently quit, so he’s out for blood too. Get ready for Big Vito to eat shit.
CoKane recently won the JCW World Championship from Mr. Anderson on a house show, and he’s going to defend it against two former WWE Superstars, Matt Riddle and Nic Nemeth, as well as Vince Russo’s handpicked guy, Caleb Konley. The smart pick here is Konley, finally the big one, but there may be some interference from Kerry Morton or Steven Flowe. Betting on this would be futile, though, because anything can happen, and EC3 may play a factor in this as the special guest referee with Jeeves by his side.
2 Tuff Tony, Willie Mack, and Rob Van Dam versus Karl Anderson, Doc Gallows, and KENTA.
What the fuck?
Let’s fucking go!
In the second special guest referee match of the night, Katie Forbes will be overseeing the chaos in the tag team match for the JCW Women’s Championship. Yes, this singles title is being defended in a tag match for some reason. New champion “Big Al” Alice Crowley teams with Dani Mo against the imposing J-Rod and a mystery partner. You never know who will step foot in the sacred Juggalo ring, so it could be literally anybody. It might be Sareee, it might be Leilani Kai, or it might be one of the shooters from Women’s Oil Wrestling.
The JCW American title scramble match might be the best match of the night when Facade defends against Mecha Wolf, Ninja Mack, Disco Ray, Moshpit Mike, and Charlie Haas. Haas is literally the “what the hell is a polar bear doing in Texas” meme, and his inclusion is completely random. The Ring Rat will be by Disco Ray’s side and will definitely engage in some sort of hijinks in the match. Still, though, Facade and Ninja Mack should make this an enjoyable watch.
In the only match that was announced on the TV show, Mickie Knuckles and Kerry Morton do battle in “Kamikaze Chaos”. The build to this was pretty simple. Kerry Morton came back from an excursion in Japan, calling himself the greatest wrestler to ever wrestle in Japan. Knuckles, who has also competed in Japan, disagreed, so Vince Russo booked them in this Kamikaze Chaos match, which may or may not be a deathmatch.
The Juggalos respect tag team wrestling and there’s two more tag matches booked on the show. The Brothers of Funstruction and The Outbreak reignite their past issues. Meanwhile, Jasmin St. Claire’s Monster Corp of Mr. Happy, Kongo Kong, and Beastman battle The Rock N’ Roll Express and George South. These should be fine little undercard treats.
With a bunch of other names announced for the show but not booked in any matches, I imagine there will be some added matches or segments featuring guys like James Storm, Mr. Anderson, Jonathan Coachman, and Steven Flowe.
You will not get good wrestling on this show, but you will have a fun time. Remember Blackcraft from a few WrestleMania Weekends ago? This will be that on steroids, and we will all be better off by watching it.
