6	'''UsefulNotes/{{Juggalo}} Championship Wrestling''' [[note]]Formerly '''Juggalo Championshxt Wrestling''' [[/note]] is, [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin as the name suggests]], the Music/InsaneClownPosse's own ProfessionalWrestling promotion. After having had less-than-successful runs with Wrestling/{{WWE}} and Wrestling/{{WCW}}, and having worked with various independent promotions in the Michigan area, and ran their own one-off show Hellfire Wrestling, ICP got to work in late 1999 and created their own promotion, as part of their empire centered around their record company, Creator/PsychopathicRecords. They released three DVD's from 1999-2001 (''Juggalo Championshxt Wrestling Volume 1'', ''Juggalo Championshxt Wrestling Volume 2'', and ''Juggalo Championshxt Wrestling Volume 3''), have done live events on and off for years since, particularly at the annual Gathering of the Juggalos and have dabbled in internet pay per view.
7
8	Unlike most wrestling videos where the announce team is positioned at a desk near the ring calling the action in a usually straight-faced manner as it happens, the JCW DVD's have hilarious, GenreSavvy commentary that is added on after. Not as an alternate commentary track, as the ''only'' commentary track. The three DVD's are hosted by "Diamond Donovan '3D' Douglas" (Violent J) and "Handsome Harley 'Gweedo' Guestello" (Shaggy 2 Dope,) with "'Luscious' Johnny Stark" (Jamie Madrox from Music/{{Twiztid}}) joining in on ''Volume 1'', and Psychopathic Records employee the Rude Boy commenting on his own matches on the first two and as a full-fledged third member on the third DVD. This commentary allows for a '''LOT''' of [[{{Kayfabe}} Kayfabe]]-breaking and LampshadeHanging.

30	* BaldOfEvil: Wrestling/KingKongBundy and Wrestling/AbdullahTheButcher.
31	* BattleCouple: Mad Man Pondo and Crazy Mary Dobson weren't just TagTeam champions, they were also engaged.
32	* BriefAccentImitation; From Vol. 3:
33	-->"There's the ref with the mullet (pronounced ''Moo-LAY''.)"
34	* BroughtToYouByTheLetterS
35	** Subverted, as Wrestling/ChrisHero wears a ''Franchise/{{Superman}}'' shirt with the logo crossed out on Volume 2.
36	** Mad Man Pondo, wears a ''Superman'' shirt around his waist on Volume 3 and has a ''Superman'' logo tattoo. However, as Pondo does not behave in a way that could possibly resemble ''Superman'', it also should be considered a subversion.
37	* TheCameo: Wrestlers Wrestling/{{Raven}} and Wrestling/BallsMahoney on Volume 1, rapper Music/VanillaIce on Volume 2, wrestler Wrestling/ShaneDouglas on Volume 3.
38	* CaptainErsatz / WritingAroundTrademarks
39	** Chick Foley, one of the women in the thumbtacks match on Volume 1, is a direct knockoff of Wrestling/MickFoley's Mankind persona and uses Mankind's "Wreck" theme, something the announcers acknowledge.
40	** The announcers bash "Richie Boy" Briar Wellington for doing a blatant Wrestling/TripleH knockoff act on Volume 3, noting that he was supposed to wear a [[Wrestling/TedDiBiase jacket with a dollar sign on the back]].
41	* CelebrityResemblance: 3D says on Volume 3 that Mad Man Pondo's hair is like [[Film/TheThreeStooges "Shemp of the Three Stooges."]] Rude Boy calls Necro Butcher, "Larry from the Three Stooges."
42	* CharacterFilibuster: Mad Man Pondo, before his match on Volume 3, with the announcers warning us about how long his promo is.
43	* CheapHeat: Invoked by name by the announcers, when "Honest" John Cheatham says, in his repeated promo (see DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment below) before the Abdullah the Butcher vs. Rude Boy match on Vol. 3, that Abdullah "is a full-blooded Muslim."
44	* TheChewToy: Tom Dub, who gets squashed by Wrestling/KingKongBundy on Volume 1, Hornswagglin' Hillbilly on Volume 2, and by Wrestling/{{Kamala}} on Volume 3.
45	* ClusterFBomb: What else would you expect when they practically had the word ''shit'' right there in the name? Almost every other word said within this promotion is this.
46	* {{Crossover}}
47	** Regularly had them with PWU, Unplugged and Unscripted, when they/it were active.
48	** The jWo "invaded"(bought front row tickets) to the 2008 [[Wrestling/ImpactWrestling TNA]] ''Turning Point'' event after Scott Hall challenged Violent J, 2 Tuff Tony, and Corporal Robinson to invade TNA, WWE or UFC. The jWo ended up getting expelled from the building after 2 Tuff Tony and [[Wrestling/ShawnDaivari Sheik Abdul Bashir]] had an altercation which lead to Tony being slapped.[[note]]Bashir and Tony decided to {{throw it in}}, thinking it would make for a good show, TNA officials disagreed, having been caught off guard by the whole JCW thing.[[/note]]
49	** JCW is not a member of Pro Wrestling International but nonetheless has hosted Arena Chicks events, which in turn overlaps with GirlsNightOutEpisode.
50	* DeepSouth: Isabella Smothers [[WearingAFlagOnYourHead wears the confederate flag on her torso]]. Also, "The Southern Stomper" Luke Hawx.
51	* DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment: On Volume 3, Abdullah the Butcher's manager "Honest" John Cheatham cuts a promo about Abdullah backstage, then repeats it in the entranceway before the match, something the announcers acknowledge.
52	* DisproportionateRetribution: Abdullah the Butcher cuts up Patrick with a fork before even getting into the building.
53	** Understandable, since Abby had just parked his van and Patrick had his hand out apparently expecting Abby to pay him.
54	* TheDogBitesBack: For all the sarcasm and deliberate parody of the clichés associated with a bad wrestling promotion, it ''is'' exciting to see the Rude Boy actually fight back against Abdullah the Butcher on Volume 3, after two straight DVD's of Abby beating him up nonstop.
55	* DoubleX: Jaimy [=CoxXx=], pronounce the letters at the end of his name as "cks".
56	* ElvisImpersonator: [[Wrestling/HonkyTonkMan The Honky Tonk Man]], of course.
57	* FanDisservice
58	** The female wrestler Angel is briefly seen topless before her match on Volume 1, with the announcers ''acknowledging'' that it was not a sexy scene.
59	** They run down "Richie Boy" Briar Wellington's unnamed valet ([[DisproportionateRetribution who actually gets garbage thrown at her]]) and Mad Man Pondo's valet [[PunnyName Aneeda Peters]] on Volume 3 in similar fashion.
60	** The very ending of Vol. 2 has a montage pertaining to Hornswagglin' Hillbilly, which include shots of him ''stripping naked'' (or at the very least close to naked.)
61	* FarmBoy: Hornswagglin' Hillbilly.
62	* FatBastard
63	** Hornswagglin' Hillbilly. Fat Fuck Barrel Boy, [[ALighterShadeOfBlack though subverted in Vol. 2]], in which he was portrayed as a face in his match against the heel Mad Man Pondo.
64	** Rude Boy calls Abdullah the Butcher this in his promo on Vol. 1.
65	* ForYourPeopleByYourPeople: As said after the battle royal one Vol. 1, "For Juggalos, by Juggalos."
66	* ForeignWrestlingHeel
67	** Three of the best ever, Wrestling/TheIronSheik (on Vol. 1,) "The Madman from the Sudan" Abdullah the Butcher (on all 3) and Kamala the UsefulNotes/{{Uganda}}n Giant (on Vol. 3.)
68	** "Sons of Kamala," La-Fu, and Mobutu starting in 2013.
69	* FridgeLogic: Invoked, as the announcers question why Wrestling/TheRockNRollExpress are trying to pin Evil Dead in the battle royal on Vol. 1.
70	* {{Garbage Wrestl\|er}}ing: Along with {{Squash Match}}es, this is the most common type of match in JCW.
71	* GorgeousGeorge: Baby Bitch Boy. Sexy Slim Goodie looks remarkably similar to the {{trope namer}}.
72	* ImprobableWeaponUser: Judd The Janitor threatens to stick people with a plunger.
73	* {{Jerkass}}: Mad Man Pondo. He's only here to piss people off.
74	* {{Kayfabe}}: Wrecked all over the place.
75	** It's noted that ICP, being the owners, forced Tom Dub to face King Kong Bundy.
76	** Rude Boy says on Volume 1 that there's no chance that his two best friends, Joe (Violent J) and Joey (Shaggy 2 Dope), are going to have Abdullah the Butcher "go over on" (defeat) him. [[note]]He's proven wrong.[[/note]]
77	** It's also mentioned at the oddest times, such as in the main event on Volume 1, when Gweedo tells Johnny to "Kayfabe" the name of a move.
78	** Terek the Great and Truth Martini complain about ICP forcing them to dress up as Wrestling/DoinkTheClown and do the job in the main event on Volume 1 for the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JCW_Tag_Team_Championship JCW Tag Team Titles]].
79	** Mad Man Pondo runs down ICP and the promotion in a pre-match interview on Volume 2, but the announcers make sure we know that he's still good friends with them.
80	* LampshadeHanging: "Did I mention this match is just highlights?" (3D, acknowledging the clipped nature of the Mad Man Pondo-Fat Fuck Barrel Boy match on Volume 2.)
81	* LeaveHimToMe: Isabella Smothers interrupts her "lover" Bull Pain's match with Weedman to prove herself to him by beating Weedman herself. [[spoiler:She loses]].
82	* [[LoserLeavesTown Loser Leaves JCW]]: Tom Dub vs. Kamala on Volume 3. Wrestling/JimmyJacobs and Sal, The Man of a Thousand Gimmicks, wrestling a best of three series with the loser being forced out of JCW. (With Sal, that was almost begging a CharlieBrownFromOuttaTown.)
83	* MaskedLuchador: Wrestling/UltimoDragon, Tha Weedman, Sister X from Pro Wrestling UnpluggedUnscripted
84	* MonsterClown: ICP is themed around this trope in general.
85	* MythologyGag: The closing credits on Volume 1 mention a 17-foot ring. See under RunningGag on ICP's page.
86	* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: ''The Necro Butcher'', ''Mad Man Pondo'', and ''Evil Dead''.
87	* TheNapoleon: Isabella Smothers is not short, she's average! She just looks short because some jokers booked her against Isis the Amazon!
88	* NeighborhoodFriendlyGangsters: The Suburban Gangsta (Dougie Dail,) just there as one of the losers of the battle royal.
89	* {{Nepotism}}: Evil Dead (Violent J's brother Music/{{Jumpsteady}} [[RunningGag under a stupid rubber mask]]) was the first [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JCW_Heavyweight_Championship JCW Heavyweight Champion]].
90	* NewYearHasCome: Recognized with the ''New Year Ninja Party'' event
91	* {{Ninja}}: Ninja Bill.
92	* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed:
93	** Roddy Hogan as Wrestling/HulkHogan and referee/writer Brian Gorie as "Slim Anus" (see below under TakeThat) on Volume 1.
94	** Chris Hero as Robin Leach and Hy-Zaya as [=RuPaul=] on Volume 2.
95	** There is also a [[Music/GunsNRoses Slash]] impersonator on Volume 1 and a Music/MichaelJackson impersonator on Volume 2.
96	* NoSell: The announcers acknowledge Abdullah the Butcher doing this in his match with the Rude Boy on Volume 1.
97	* OminousFog: Cemetery vapor follows Evil Dead around.
98	* OnlyInItForTheMoney: Truth Martini cites this as his reason for why he agreed to dress up as a Doink the Clown for the main event on Volume 1. Otherwise averted, as a RunningGag (one of many) centers around how little the wrestlers are supposedly getting paid for their efforts and how cheap the promotion is. This particularly comes into play on Volume 3, when the entire second rope breaks off of all four sides of the ring during the opening match, when [=MDogg20=] is going for an Asai Moonsault on Josh Prohibition. Gweedo asks why they didn't replace the rope.
99	-->'''RUDE BOY''': "It wasn't in the budget."
100	-->'''GWEEDO''': "Well, OK."
101	* PartsUnknown:
102	** Evil Dead, from "The Knapp Cemetery."
103	** Hornswagglin' Hillbilly, from "Asslick, KY."
104	** Hy-Zaya, from "The Highlands."
105	** Chris Hero, from "[[Franchise/{{Superman}} Metropolis]]."
106	** Mad Man Pondo, from "The Realm of Pain."
107	** Fat Fuck Barrel Boy, from "Barrelswoggle, MS."
108	** Necro Butcher, from "Goddamn, WV."
109	*** During the Fat Fuck Barrel Boy vs. Mad Man Pondo match on Volume 2, the announcers refer to a move which is commonly known as a Russian Legsweep as a "No-Region Legsweep."
110	* PowerMakesYourHairGrow: Notably subverted on Volume 2, as Rude Boy does not have the mullet he had on Volume 1, which he ''acknowledged'', saying, "That's how come I didn't have my powers." Of course, even though he ''had'' the mullet on Volume 1, he still got squashed by Abdullah the Butcher.
111	* PowerStable: Subverted, the most they got was two members of BLKOUT (Joker and Ricky Reyes) and All Money Is Legal (K-Muder and K-Pusher) at one time. Played straight(er) with the jWo.
112	* PrettySpryForADeadGuy: Evil Dead.
113	* TheProblemWithFightingDeath: As 3D explains at the start of the Evil Dead-Redneck Devil Without a Cause match on Volume 1:
114	-->'''3D''': "Evil Dead is just that, guys, he's dead. But, the benefits to death are as follows. Nothing hurts him, nothing scares him, he's dead."
115	* PunnyName: "Izzy High," "Mr. Meaner," and "Honest John Cheatham."
116	* RefugeInAudacity[=/=]VulgarHumor: The commentary just crosses so many lines, to the point that at certain points they actually ''question'' each other for saying certain things.
117	* {{Retcon}}: Even though the commentators mention Mr. Meaner doing a gay gimmick as Big Flame during Meaner's entrance for the battle royal on Volume 1, this is completely ignored during the ICP/Evil Dead-Rainbow Coalition main event on Volume 2.
118	* RickyMorton
119	** The commentators mention during the main event on Volume 1 that this is Shaggy's role in the match, just to build to the hot tag so J can come in and do his hiptosses, which is exactly what happens.
120	** ''[[Wrestling/TheRockNRollExpress The Trope Namer]]'' is in the battle royal, but as a {{Heel}}.
121	* {{Rich B\|itch}}astard: "Richie Boy" Briar Wellington
122	* RingOldies: The Iron Sheik, King Kong Bundy, Abdullah The Butcher, the Rock N Roll Express, the Honky Tonk Man, [[Wrestling/GeorgeSteele George "The Animal" Steele]] and [=Kamala=] all appear on the [=DVD=]s.
123	* SarcasmMode[=/=]MaliciousMisnaming
124	** Throughout, as the announcers mangle wrestlers' names, insult them, and go on irrelevant tangents.
125	** 3D and Gweedo call one of the Rock N Roll Express members "Film/TheToxicAvenger" on Volume 1.
126	* ScrewThisImOutOfHere: Tom Dub is scheduled to face Abdullah the Butcher on Volume 1. He has to be forcibly removed from his car before the match can start.
127	* ShoutOut:
128	** ICP's FinishingMove, called the Deadly Clown Drop on Volume 1, is a [[Wrestling/TheDudleyBoys Dudley Death Drop/3D]].
129	** From [=Twiztid=]'s "I Don't Care," which is played over the music video on Volume 2.:
130	--> "I'm inside like fuck em all\
131	What's the main event on ''[[Wrestling/{{WWERaw}} Raw]]''?"
132	** Hollywood "Chuck" Hogan wears a [[Series/TalesFromTheCrypt Crypt Keeper]] mask.
133	** Mad Man Pondo wears ''Film/FromDuskTillDawn'' and ''Film/TheExorcist'' T-shirts on Volume 2, and a ''[[Film/TheThing1982 The Thing]]'' shirt on Volume 3.
134	* SomethingPerson: The Honky Tonk Man
135	* SpoofAesop: During the Mad Man Pondo-Necro Butcher match on Volume 3, the commentators imply that Butcher is an alcoholic/drug addict and talk about how there are no steroids in either guy's training regimen.
136	-->'''GWEEDO''': "Stay away from steroids, and stay as far away from a gym as you can."
137	* StatuesqueStunner: Isis The Amazon, whenever she shows up. Not just one of the tallest women but one of the tallest wrestlers they've ever had, period.
138	* TheStoner: Izzy High on the first [=DVD=], along with a scene involving a few wrestlers passing a joint on Volume 2. Also, Tha Weedman, who is known for blowing his smoke into the crowd (who also tend to be stoners, [[FanDisservice whoa to you if you're not]])
139	** FreestateAmsterdam: Izzy High is billed from there. However, no one apparently told him, since he gets on the mic and calls Detroit "the [[BuffySpeak dope-burningest]] town in America. USA USA USA!," leading to The Iron Sheik, Izzy's opponent, hitting Izzy with his flag, which is pretty much [[TooDumbToLive justified in this case.]]
140	* StudentAndMasterTeam: On the web show ''[=SlamTV!=]'', Kazushige Nosawa was trying to end his losing streak before his teacher, Wrestling/TheGreatMuta, made it to the USA to checkup on him. The Muta didn't stick around, seeing his student was on a winning streak win he arrived but they did tag twice.
141	* StylisticSuck[=/=][[BadBadActing Bad Bad Wrestling]]: Many of the matches are sloppy, squashes or blatantly bad, thus making it easier for the commentators to make jokes about them.
142	* SunGlassesAtNight: Wrestling/ScottSteiner at ''Bloodymania 6''
143	* SuspiciouslySpecificDenial: During the Kamala (w/the Masked Negotiator- see Acting For Two on trivia) vs. Tom Dub match on Vol. 3, the announcers say, "That's not Stefan, that's clearly Serious Darius. And that's not Rob, that's the Masked Negotiator."[[note]]"Serious" Darius Bagfelt's real name is Stefan Kudek. Jumpsteady's real name is Rob Bruce.[[/note]]
144	* {{Tagline}}: "JCW: The only wrestling promotion that just don't give a Shxt!"
145	* TagTeam: The Rainbow Coalition (Big Flame, Neil and Bob [Jaimmy Coxxx]) on Vol. 2, the Ring Rydas Red and Blue (otherwise known as Irish Airborne)
146	* TakeThat:
147	** "Slim Anus," an Music/{{Eminem}} parody on Volume 1
148	** Redneck Devil Without A Cause, a rip on Music/KidRock on Volume 1
149	** The announcers call [=Insidious=], one of the participants in the battle royal, "Jerry Only of Music/TheMisfits" and "a member of Music/CoalChamber."
150	** On Volume 2, there is a tables match between ICP's bodyguard Billy Bill and "Mr. Dick Nipple," who is Sharon Osbourne's "lawyer." ICP had brought Coal Chamber on tour with them during the ''Amazing Jeckel Brothers'' tour, but kicked them off due to the fact that too many Juggalos were demanding refunds for the shows where Coal Chamber performed. ICP went on ''Radio/TheHowardSternShow'' to defend themselves and said that no one had the courage to stand up to Coal Chamber's "crumpet-ass bitch manager." Sharon responded by threatening to sue ICP for breach of contract, leading to her and J making a bet for $50,000 that ICP's next two releases, ''Bizaar'' and ''Bizzar'', would not sell 200,000 copies. Combined, the albums sold around 400,000 copies before falling off the charts, though Osbourne did not pay ICP.
151	** The main event on Volume 3 is ICP vs. "Kid Cock" (Kid Kash as a parody of Kid Rock)[[note]]The Kid Kash gimmick started in Wrestling/{{ECW}} in 2000 as a NoCelebritiesWereHarmed CaptainErsatz ''for'' Kid Rock[[/note]] and "Feminem," (Adam Gooch as a parody of [=Eminem=]). Feminem has a fat Kim Mathers rip as his valet, and Kid Cock's valet bears ZERO resemblance to Creator/PamelaAnderson.
152	** The fact that ICP point out mistakes or bad moments in their own matches elevates it to [[SelfDeprecation Take That Me]].
153	* TheatricsOfPain: When The Iron Sheik hits Izzy High with his flag to start their match on Volume 1, the announcers say, "The ginger blow, and the oversell."
154	* ThereAreNoPolice: Subverted, Pro Wrestling Unplugged representative Tracy Smothers was eventually arrested for repeatedly assaulting JCW talent and disrupting shows. This was portrayed as a ''[[{{Reconstruction}} bad thing]]'', as it deprived the wrestlers from getting their revenge.
155	* ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill: The Mad Man Pondo-Necro Butcher match on Volume 3.
156	* TookALevelInBadass: Interviewer "Serious" Darius Bagfelt, who nails Mad Man Pondo with Pondo's own STOP sign (which he modified to read "Can't STOP Pondo") for interrupting Bagfelt's attempt to interview Chris Hero on Volume 2, followed by Darius stomping on Pondo.
157	--> '''BAGFELT''': "Mad Man Pondo, don't you ever, ever [[PrecisionFStrike fuck]] with a Serious Darius interview again, you little bitch!"
158	* WrestlingDoesntPay: Evil Dead, the wrestling corpse (who totally isn't Violent J's brother Music/{{Jumpsteady}} [[RunningGag wearing a stupid rubber mask]]).
159	* WrestlingFamily: All three of the Dail brothers (Billy Bill, Chucky [Redneck Devil Without a Cause/Neil] and Dougie [Suburban Gangsta/"Mr. Dick Nipple"]) appear.
160	* WrestlingMonster: Evil Dead, Kongo Kong, Shockwave The Robot, Vampiro, Wrestling/BigVanVader and Wrestling/{{Boogeyman}}
161	* XtremeKoolLetterz: Jaimmy [=CoxXx=], again
