Production
[edit ]Background
[edit ]On March 12, 1996, the Insane Clown Posse released a VHS tape titled ICP's Strangle-Mania, a compilation tape which featured matches from the Outrageously Violent Wrestling From Japan video collection overdubbed with commentary from the ICP themselves with Violent J (Joe Bruce) being called Diamond Donovan "3D" Douglas and Shaggy 2 Dope (Joe Utsler) being called Handsome Harley "Gweedo" Guestella.[2] The video also featured various matches from various IWA Japan shows including Cactus Jack vs. Shoji Nakamaki, Shoji Nakamaki vs. Hiroshi Ono, and Terry Funk vs. Cactus Jack at Kawasaki Dream, Kawasaki Dream, and Headhunter A vs. Headhunter B at All I Need ~A Chance For Me~, and Leatherface and Cactus Jack vs. Hiroshi Ono and Shoji Nakamaki at A Spring Breeze ~Condition Of Victory~, The success of the video would lead Bruce and Utsler to co-produce their own wrestling show with the Northern States Wrestling Alliance (NSWA) and booker Dan Curtis titled Strangle-Mania Live which was held at St. Andrews Hall in Detroit, Michigan.[3] [4] The show featured the Insane Clown Posse themselves main eventing the show against the Chickenboys in a steel cage match.[5] On December 27, 1998, Insane Clown Posse would team up with Dan Curtis again to produce a show titled Hellfire Wrestling at the Majestic Theatre in Detroit which featured a 20 man battle royal for the Hellfire Championship as the main event. This was initially going to lead to an eighty-city Hellfire Wrestling tour, but two days after the show, Curtis had passed away in his apartment after a sudden diabetic problem.[6] The Hellfire Wrestling tour would be cancelled. A second VHS video tape titled ICP's Strangle-Mania Volume 2 would be released on August 4, 1999 which featured several bonus matches and would also feature Twiztid's Jamie Madrox as "Lucious" Johnny Stark on commentary.
On December 19, 1999 the Insane Clown Posse partnered with bookers Brian Gorie and Dave Prazak to hold the first "Juggalo Championshxt Wrestling" show which was taped and released as JCW Volume 1 on May 9, 2000 with commentary provided by the Insane Clown Posse as 3D and Gweedo and Madrox as Johnny Stark.[7] The show was main evented by the Insane Clown Posse fighting team of two Doink the Clowns (played by Tarek The Great and Truth Martini) to become the inaugural JCW Tag Team Champions.[8] When the video was released, it lasted 38 weeks on the Billboard Sports and Recreation Top Sellers list with it charting as high as number 2 at one time.[9] [10] However, Prazak left the promotion due to financial issues, leaving Gordie to book a 15-day Strangle-Mania Live tour from April to May 2000 with dates spanning from Detroit, Michigan to Denver, Colorado. JCW Volume 2 was taped in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on April 19, 2000 and was released on July 23, 2001, charting as high as number 8 on the Billboard Sports and Recreation Top Sellers list.[11] and in Cleveland, Ohio on May 4, 2000.[12] [13]
In 2002, the Insane Clown Posse planned to record matches from the Gathering of the Juggalos which would have been featured in JCW Volume 3. However, due to the amount of injuries sustained by the wrestlers and the rowdiness of the fans, the footage was scrapped in favor of a stand-alone event which took place on March 16, 2003.[1] [14]
