Andrew’s JCW Lunacy Results & Match Ratings: Ep. 80

Last week they showed the replay of Strangle-mania instead of this newer episode. So since I covered Strangle-mania live, I didn’t lie about starting to cover the show.

Speaking of Strangle-mania, it was a fun train wreck. The match quality was awful, but I was entertained even though it started late and went til like 7am in Eastern time. The best thing to come out of Strangle-mania was J-Rod winning the Women’s championship.

Let’s see where they go with the show.

Why is "Big Al" Alice Crowley hanging out outside the arena? Mac Davis tries to find out.

Ratings:

• Green Phantom vs Facade: Facade wins via Ninziguiri – N/A
• Guitar on a Pole Match: JCW World Championship: CoKane (c) vs Steven Flowe: CoKane retains via CokeSlam on the guitar – ** 1/2
• Luigi Primo vs Father Bronson: Bronson wins via Cloverleaf – ***
• Sicilian Street Fight: PCO vs Big Vito: PCO wins via Lariat – **
• Caleb Konley Guest Ref: EC3 vs Kerry Morton: EC3…wins? – ***

Results:

Violent J and Vince Russo are arguing about J not telling Vince about signing EC3. J’s defense is hilarious because he says “You guys do a podcast together, I thought he was your boy”. Vince agrees with that EC3 is his boy, but he’s a wrestler, and they’re selfish. So Vince warns J that EC3 will show his true colors soon. 

Jeeves and EC3 come out after the backstage segment. Jeeves and EC3 cut into Caleb Konley, call him Vince’s little bitch and calls Vince “shit stain”. Which is a Jim Cornette nickname for Vince. Vince’s music hits, him and Caleb come out, and Vince starts verbally running down EC3 and taking the hits personally. EC3 explains that wrestling is a giant cyclical work, so EC3 is trying to make some long drawn out joke about the Independent Contractor aspect of pro wrestling, Caleb cuts him off and takes some shots, including a dig on Control Your Narrative. EC3 tries to ask who Caleb is, he says he’s, “the guy who’s gonna knock him the fuck out”. They brawl for a few minutes and then some refs show up for the pull apart. Vince even gets a cheap shot in on Jeeves before the Carters bail.

Vince Russo has just booked EC3 vs. Kerry Morton for tonight….with "The Chosen One" Caleb Konley as Special Guest Referee.

Green Phantom vs Facade

Phantom starts with a promo about saving JCW and the World from crooks and cheaters.

Phantom poses, Facade hits him with a Disaster Kick he calls Ninziguiri and it’s an instant win for Facade!

That’s actually funny since Phantom is trying to act like the Batman of the locker room and gets insta-killed. Amusing way to slow roll whatever this dude is about.

Guitar on a Pole Match: JCW World Championship: CoKane (c) vs Steven Flowe

So this is a normal match, but whoever gets the guitar, can legally use it. 

Flowe attacks CoKane immediately. Stomps a mudhole into CoKane, tries to continue but CoKane throws him to the ropes, Flowe hits the Headscissors but CoKane rolls through it. He hits those Knife Edge Uppercuts to rattle Flowe, Flowe reverses the Irish Whip, CoKane Flair Flips to the top rope and then Flowe Dropkicks CoKane out of the ring. Flowe tries for the Guitar, but CoKane cuts him off, but CoKane hits the Pele Kick to stun CoKane. Flowe keeps trying for the for the guitar, kicks CoKane back, but Kane grabs him. Sattelite counter, rope bounce, but CoKane hits the Coke Cutter to drop Flowe.

They brawl in the corner, Avalanche Spicolli Driver from Flowe. He turns around and grabs the guitar. Flowe swings, misses, gets grabbed for the CokeSlam, but turns it into a Triangle Armbar. He counters the Armbar by powering through and hitting the CokeSlam onto the guitar. CoKane wins!

After the match a very vocal CoKane fan, known as Hokane, hops the guardrail, and CoKane gifts her with some of his special mixture. Maybe CoKane’s getting a girlfriend.

We see The Outbreak in the back, Barnabas is trying to keep them clean but they have vials of Oxy and Barnabas goes crazy.

Luigi Primo vs Father Bronson

Bronson is about to show us what Red Love is all about. I like to call him the Creole Bray Wyatt, so let’s see what he does in his JCW debut.

He hands out roses to a few of the crowd members, not just specifically giving them to Juggalettes either, so that’s interesting. Red Love is for everyone. Oh he even tells the referee to hand Luigi a rose, asks Luigi to get out of the ring and they hand him a microphone. He puts the crowd over and then runs them down as repulsive. Bronson tells Luigi to take the rose and leave the ring. Luigi doesn’t leave, so Bronson kicks, Shoulder Tackles, tosses Luigi off and into a Scoop Slam.

Luigi fights back with a few pizza slaps, but Luigi counters a Hip Toss, but eats repeated knees from Bronson. While down Luigi spins the pizza, throws it to Bronson to distract him and hits a few kicks. Wants the monkey flip but gets caught, Bronson tries a Powerbomb but the Pizza covers his face into a Pizza Cutter. Luigi still tries the Monkey Flip, ad Bronson just tosses Luigi to the floor, ground and pounds him with the forearm digging across the face.

After a Scoop Slam, Luigi tries a few chops but Muy Thai Knees keeps Luigi reeling. Hip Attack from Bronson and another near fall. Bronson gets distracted with the referee, Luigi with his Pizza Combo, the dough is finally tossed away, Gamengiri into a Bulldog, Pizza Punch, but Bronson ducks it, and eats a few strikes from Luigi before getting dropped and locked into a Texas Cloverleaf, Luigi taps out.

Honestly, a solid match and decent debut to show off different aspects of his personality and offense. 

Alice continued to wait for Dani Mo outside the venue and we see her ask Dani for answers, Dani says “you wouldn’t understand”, so Alice beats her ass and leaves her laying.

Sicilian Street Fight: PCO vs Big Vito

Slugfest start, PCO turns it around for Chops, PCO turns it around to clubbing blows and they’re just going from corner to corner throwing Haymakers. The Outbreak starts harassing the announce desk looking for more drugs, and it was only during more striking, so we’re not missing a ton in the ring. PCO and Vito collide into each other, PCO hits multiple chops into the Spinning Backhand Chop. Vito hits PCO in the Yambag, Lariats him down and chucks him into the corner. 2 Tuff Tony and Willi Mack walk out and start to beat the hell out of Vito. Street Fight mean NoDQ.

The Brothers of Funstruction in their Mafia gimmicks come out to get their pound of flesh as well. One Way sign and a Wet Floor sign in hand, Vito is getting dog walked. Yabo goes crazy with the wet floor sign, the others even stop him until Vito gets up and they let Yabo knock him the hell out with the wet floor sign. PCO lands the big Lariat, and PCO wins!

While it was overbooked, the fact the story was Vito hates everyone and pissed everyone off. Giving people an opening to beat his ass in a NoDQ match makes full sense. 

Blast from the Past Highlights: Weedman & Billy Bong vs The Bashums 

Vito gets a segment in the back after the fallout of the match, talks about how his Nephew will be there next week. He got held up at customs and then it’s on sight.

Caleb Konley Guest Ref: EC3 vs Kerry Morton

Caleb attacks EC3 before Kerry Morton even gets introduced. Extra referees come out to break up the fight. Kerry runs out, no music, he just attacks EC3. All three have issues with each other, so who knows who Caleb is really going to screw.

Kerry chokes EC3, gloats a bit but EC3 hits the Chop. Kerry pushes EC3 back in the corner, climbs the rope and clocks EC3 after a jerk off motion into the crowd. All of Kerry’s ego is giving EC3 time to recover and fire back. A few Chops from EC3 before Kerry turns it around with some strikes and a Back Rake. He grabs a Front Facelock, but EC3 powers up, Arm Wringer, Do-Si-Do into an STO. Kerry responds with a Rope Assisted Snap Suplex, a Fist Drop and a near fall. Kerry starts focusing on the legs, but Kerry is getting very distracted with everything. EC3 with the reverse Irish Whip, Kerry does the Flair Flip, runs the apron, flies and eats a punch to the gut. EC3 Lariats and Squashes Kerry in the corner. EC3 pushes Kerry out of the corner, looks to charge again but Kerry hits a Dropkick.

Caleb and Kerry jaw back and forth before Kerry kicks EC3. Kerry takes forever to go to the top, a big show, just to jump off the rope and taunt the crowd lock in a Headlock. Crowd is chanting for EC3, EC3 starts blocking the strikes from Kerry, strikes, Back Elbow, Thesz Press, and Kerry is reeling. Fireman’s Carry next but Caleb pulls Kerry down out of the move. Kerry crushes EC3 into Caleb, hits a DDT, but Caleb is still selling the ref bump. Kerry is slapping Caleb around to get him up, EC3 hits a TKO, for only a two count because Caleb refuses the three. EC3 with a Fireman’s Carry Facebuster, Kerry hits Caleb with the Kiss it Goodbye. EC3 and Kerry look for an alliance, but Kerry tries to trick EC3. EC3 hits the One Percenter, Jeeves acts like the referee, counts the 3 and…is it over? There’s no bell…so…EC3 joins commentary.

Caleb and Kerry are shoving each other, but then Green Phantom’s music hits as Kerry and Caleb shake hands. Kerry powders and begs off, but Caleb is still here. Phantom wants to shake hands with Caleb…but then kicks him, it’s Matt Cross! Cross hits the Open Road Cutter and it sounds like Kerry and Cross are working together.

Overall Score: 6.5/10

This was insane, but entertaining. EC3 playing a lot of inside baseball with the opening promo on Russo, claiming he’s gonna save JCW from Russo booking. Green Phantom looking like fool in his debut just to prove it was a ruse for Matt Cross to return to JCW to attack Caleb. Father Bronson had a really solid first bout. Got across his heel persona, easily hateable swagger and pretty solid move set. Very MMA flavored, and ending things with a Cloverleaf instead of a “finisher” helps to continue his mystique.

Vito having most of the Babyface Locker room come out and beat his ass during a Street Fight made a lot of sense. CoKane possibly getting a valet or tag partner since Ring Rat is now with Steven Flowe, could be solid foreshadowing. Big Al hunting for Dani Mo is a good little story for potentially number 1 contender against J-Rod.

There was a lot to like here if you enjoyed the old Wrestle Society X or ECW Hardcore TV programs. While the wrestling had it moments, it’s definitely not a show for “purists”. I was entertained though!
