The Insane Clown Posse wrestling promotion, known as JCW -- once short for Juggalo Championshit Wrestling -- has become a major force in the indie pro wrestling world in recent years. Yes, that's Insane Clown Posse, the Detroit rap duo known for performing outrageous lyrics in circus-worthy face paint. But Insane Clown Posse wrestling isn't as far-fetched as it sounds!
In fact, the history of Insane Clown Posse wrestling goes back several decades to the beginning of ICP's career. In fact, Shaggy 2 Dope and Violent J, the members of ICP, began their entertainment careers as indie pro wrestlers. Eventually they moved on to making music, but the Insane Clown Posse wrestling love remained.
After sponsoring several one-off matches throughout the years, the group finally founded its own Insane Clown Posse wrestling promotion in 1999. It was initially known as Juggalo Championshit Wrestling.
Early Juggalo Championshit Wrestling matches drew heavily from backyard and hardcore styles. But most of the early Juggalo Championshit Wrestling stars were actually performers from other disciplines performing under fake names. In fact, most of Juggalo Championshit wrestling generally consisted of parody matches meant to be humorous.
Over the years, though, Shaggy 2 Dope and Violent J decided Juggalo Championshit Wrestling needed to take the sport a little more seriously. In 2006, Juggalo Championshit Wrestling officially became the more printable Juggalo Championship Wrestling.
Also, the old parody-type focus of Juggalo Championshit Wrestling was dropped in favor of a new juggalo wrestling promotion that featured actual wrestlers. The new Insane Clown Posse wrestling roster grew to include known names from the indie pro and hardcore wrestling circuits.
These days, there are numerous juggalo wrestling events throughout the country on a regular basis. Many Insane Clown Posse wrestling shows also combine a musical element.
For example, juggalo wrestling shows scheduled in October 2011 also included performances by Psychopathic Records acts like Dark Lotus. As such, Insane Clown Posse wrestling shows are much sought after by fans of both these musical acts, and fans of indie pro wrestling in general.
The best way to see juggalo wrestling is, of course, to buy tickets to a live performance. However, this may be hard depending on your location, as many juggalo wrestling events take place in the northeast and the midwest.
Once a year, though, the biggest juggalo wrestling event takes place at ICP's annual summer Gathering of the Juggalos event in Illinois. If you're a huge juggalo wrestling fan, it may be worth saving up for a ticket -- the other musical performances activities at the festival justify the price, anyways.
If an in-person show isn't possible, though, don't worry. Every Insane Clown Posse wrestling show is also available as a pay-per-view online.
You can order a code in advance that will allow you to watch a stream of the events through the various official Insane Clown Posse sites. What's more, all of these juggalo wrestling pay-per-views are archived online so you can order them and watch them any time afterwards.
Finally, you can get a bunch of juggalo wrestling DVDs through Insane Clown Posse and Psychopathic Records. The company's online stores offer DVDs of both past juggalo wrestling pay-per-views and huge matches at the Gathering of Juggalos.
