Andrew’s JCW Lunacy Results & Match Ratings: Ep# 86

One of my favorite things last few weeks has been Joel Gertner, he’s pushing JCW on Twitter and keeping his lyrical miracle soaking your wife’s panties like milk in cereal. I wonder who his person is, and honestly with Steve Maclin’s departure from TNA…I kind of hope it’s Maclin.

Aside from that we’ve got issues between J-Rod, Dani Mo and Sophia Rose. HoKane also has jealousy issues with Alice Crowley. Kerry Morton stays on Vince Russo’s shit list and  Caleb Konley has his last mystery opponent.

Lots of interesting things to chew on, let’s see what we get!

Barnabas the Bizarre promises he will figure out tonight if "The Dealer" is someone within JCW.

Results:

Vinnie Ru comes out with his bat and in his baseball Jersey, runs down the Michigan crowd. He tells Big Vito to come to the ring and Vito is about to say his line of “wipe that shit off your face” but the crowd starts a dueling chant of “We Love Vito” “Fuck You Vito”. And Vito does the correct thing and just plays with it, and doesn’t try to hard to get his shit over, so Russo starts talking. Vince wants to bury the past because they’re New York Italians. Vito very smartly starts responding and then goes “I need to get this off my chest…” and hits his “wipe that shit off your face” line. But Vito agrees that blood is thicker than water, and they shake and bro hug. 

They call out EC3 and Jeeves. EC3 punctuates his rant with “I’m gonna rip your dick off and shove it down your throat”, Ethan paints great word pictures when he’s not censored. Vince tells EC3 he’s gonna have 3 matches tonight as punishment for not being here for 3 weeks.

Gertner comes out, in his street clothes, the shirt has Godzilla eating a bowl of noodles. He’s rambling about his travel stuff, trying to ingratiate himself to the Juggalos by naming songs and referencing things. He doesn’t finally start saying “tonight is the night and he has come”. It was rambling, convoluted, but wonderful. 

JCW Women’s Championship: Sophia Rose vs J-Rod (c)

Yes…J-Rod is my favorite woman in wrestling right now for obvious reasons. Dani Mo does come out to commentary with the belt, just to taunt J-Rod. 

J-Rod gets pissed but starts slapping Sophia, Sophia counters a Backdrop into a Superkick, Running Knee Lift. J-Rod counters a few things but Sophia has counters right back. Wheelbarrow Bulldog gives Sophia an opening, she goes for a Crossbody but J-Rod catches her and slams her hard, smashes her in the corner, Lariat and another Scoop Slam. J-Rod lifts Sophia onto her shoulders, Squats her but Sophia slips it and takes her down, Moonsault from Sophia gets a two count. J-Rod powders, pulls out knuckles, when Sophia leans down to grab J-Rod, J-Rod cracks her with the knucks, hides the evidence and then gets the pinfall victory. Dani Mo runs off and J-Rod chases her to the back.

EC3 w/Jeeves vs Father Bronson

Love in it’s purest form…I don’t know who to root for. Bronson having two great matches with Facade and now a match with EC3, this is a nice push for Bronson. 

EC3 allows Bronson to cut his promo, but when EC3 doesn’t accept the rose, Bronson attacks him with a flurry of kicks, but EC3 mauls him, throws a few strikes and Chops as he shoves him from corner to corner. EC3 keeps control after a flying Polish Hammer., he drags Bronson back from the apron and Snap Suplexes him to the other side. Bronson plays possum for a little before he picks the leg and gets a Knee Bar in that EC3 needs to get to the ropes.

Bronson continues to work over the legs, since EC3 has 3 matches, Bronson looks like he’s more interested in injuring EC3 than winning the match. Kicks to the knee, Knee Breaker from Bronson, and still working over the knee. Spinning Toe Hold from Bronson on the bad leg just to continue torquing the knee. EC3 manages to hit a Jawbreaker to stop Bronson. Bronson with the Double Leg, wants the Cloverleaf, but EC3 fights him off, punches and then a Thesz Press  has EC3 selling because he landed on his knees. Stun Gun from Bronson when EC3 tries to grab him, Springboard Knee strike from Bronson for a two count. Bronson tries another springboard, but EC3 dodges, 1 Percenter, but Bronson powders. As Bronson is begging there’s a video playing on the screen about Red Love for EC3, Bronson retreats and EC3 is confused watching the video but it’s a Double COunt Out.

Violent J tries to free Yabo, but Vito and crew tell him to “fuck off”. Then we see Barnabas in the back with the zombies looking for the dealer. Barnabas knows he wears a blue hoodie, and that’s his lead.

Kerry Morton vs Shane Mercer

After Kerry took out Matt Cross last week, this is seen as good favor since Kerry doesn’t have to fight both. But after an early tie up, Kerry gets tossed aside easily, twice. Kerry is getting frustrated.

Kerry with a little World of Sport inspired counter wrestling to get Mercer down to a knee in an Arm Wringer. But Mercer powers out, and Kerry tries more World of Sport, but Mercer uses his power to slam Kerry back to the ground. Kerry lands a Knee Lift finally to stop the arm focus, Kerry wants a Blanchard Suplex, but Mercer says no and then X Plexes Kerry into the rafters as Kerry tries to power but Mercer grabs him.

After a near fall, Kerry tries to fire up but Mercer No Sells all of it and hits the ack of Shit, almost sending Kerry careening through the ropes. Kerry tries to beg off, but Mercer chokes him in the corner. A Scoop Slam, has Kerry show shades of his father with sitting up for a moment to urge the crowd but Mercer is on him like white on rice and Rear Naked Choke is nearly locked in. Kerry gets some crowd support for a Jawbreaker, a few strikes but he gets caught by Mercer. Gorilla Press and wants to throw Kerry into the audience, but Kerry hits a Satellite DDT to save his life…literally.

They start a Strike Exchange, but Morton blocks Mercer’s stuff, hits a few punches, Dropkick, rope run Back Elbow! Kerry lowers the knee pad, wants Kiss it Goodbye but Mercer lifts him like he weighs nothing and hits a Spin Out Backbreaker for a near fall. Mercer wants Moonsault & Battery. Kerry is trying to fight back, Mercer looks to have the advantage, but he slips it, Five Hole Head Kick! Avalanche Power Bomb…Kiss It Goodbye! KERRY WINS! We all get to Climax!

Vito sends Vincenzo to go find Sally Boy, Luigi Primo shows up saying he’s watched Donnie Brasco, Carlito’s Way and Goodfellas, so he understands how to be a made man. Yabo tries to talk sense into Luigi, but Luigi doubles down thinking he’s gonna be a made man.

EC3 w/Jeeves vs Choppa City

Atiba starts in the handicap match against EC3. Atiba Chops EC3 and the sweat goes flying as he gives Atiba a look, then Atiba tags in Bruce Wayans, and EC3 eats a Chop from Bruce before he shoves Bruce to their corner. EC3 ducks Atiba’s Chop and hits his own, so Bruce reprimands him for using a Chop, that’s their thing.

EC3 is Knife Edge Chopping Choppa City, before Tandem Chops takes down EC3, Chop Socky beatdown, into  Bruce with the Diving Chop into a Russian Leg Sweep. Bruce works on the bad leg, they do the “What’s Chop” move, as Atiba works over the dinged up left arm. EC3 throws off Atiba and hits the TK3. As EC3 tries to get Atiba to his feet, Atiba picks the leg, tags in Bruce, tandem Elbow Drop, and quick tags are keeping the chops flying as Atiba then locks in a headlock. Jawbreaker, Reverse Powerslam, and EC3 has life, ducking the Kick, Lariats, into the STO Sweep!

The Backseat Boyz come out talking smack to the Choppa City to distract them, Jeeves gives EC3 a chair to block the Chop. One Percenter on Bruce! Backseats stop Atiba from helping Bruce, then hit the T-Gimmick to leave Choppa City laying.

Vince Russo tells "The Chosen One" Caleb Konley that after he wins tonight, Cokane and the JCW Lunacy World Championship will be next in line.

Barnabas keeps looking for the hoodie and the Zombies are snorting Baby Powder right now. But he finally finds the Blue Hoodie! 

Caleb Konley vs Krule

Krule is Mads Krule Krugger from MLW, who had that silly ass stabbing thing a month or so ago. He’s still a 7 foot tall maniac, but it’s interesting timing. 

Krule comes out of the gates hot, Caleb tries to chop down Krule, but when he dives Krule catches him and slams him into the guardrail repeatedly like a Jason movie. Caleb tries to fight back, but gets caught and slammed into the apron. Caleb keeps trying to fight back, but gets Straight Jacket Slammed off the apron and bounces to the floor. Caleb crawls, tries a few strikes before being dumb and going for a Crossbody, but gets caught and thrown in the Sack of Shit! Krule is just smashing Caleb in the corner. Vince Russo’s commentary is hilarious during these matches.

Caleb manages to chop down the legs, hits a Tornado DDT for a 1 count. Sliding Lariat from Caleb, he tries the Jumping Corkscrew Moonsault but Krule catches him and hits a South of Heaven Chokeslam for only two! Krule misses the Yakuza Kick and is hung up, Caleb goes for the Burning Hammer…CALEB HITS THE BURNING HAMMER! Caleb wins!

Vince declares that Caleb will get a shot next week for the Lunacy World title against CoKane! 

Vincenzo finds Sally Boy laid out, asks who did it, and when he finds out it was VIolent J he teases Sal. Sal asks him not to tell Vito, and it seems like Vincenzo will keep the secret for now. 

Blast from the Past: Twinkie Hop vs Butterbean at JCW Bloodymania IV

Sal tries to lie and say he got jacked by 5 guys, but Vito said he was watching the monitors and knows he got rocked by Ronald McDonald. Vito tells Yabo to take out Violent J, or Ruffo is dead. Gives him the ole Mafia kiss of death and Yabo looks confused and terrified. 

Gertner walks out to a Smooth Operator-esque theme song, he’s all decked out in his typical outfit. Says he who comes, has come. He says it’s not about him, but he’s gonna finish the TNA story because EC3 is out here. Gertner talks about only being used twice even though he uprooted his life for 4 months living in Nashville. Joel walks up to Jerry Jarrett, asks how to get back on, Jerry says “time”. Joel says his time is now, and his time is money. Ladies and Gentlemen…Big Money Josh Bishop! 

NoDQ Match: EC3 w/Jeeves vs Josh Bishop w/Joel Gertner

Bishop walks out with the old JCW World title that he never lost. Bishop works EC3 into a corner, EC3 tries to kick him away and hit a Crossbody but Bishop catches him, Sack of Shit, and Bishop is in full Psycho Sid look. Bishop keeps dropping EC3 with multiple punches. He Freight Trains into the corner, smashing EC3 four or five times. EC3 looks dead on his feet.

Jeeves tries to toss in a chair, but Bishop kicks it out, Headbutt from Bishop, but EC3 tries to power back and trade blows. Knife Edge Chops for all, but Bishop gets the best of it. EC3 keeps throwing fists, hits the ropes, Bishop cuts him off, Snake Eyes into a Big Boot that levels EC3. Jeeves gets on the apron, Bishop grabs him, throws him into the ring and Chokeslams Jeeves! EC3 sneaks out to get the chair, EC3 starts using the chair and referee is allowing it because of the NoDQ rules. EC3 wants the One Percenter, but Caleb hits the ring with his own chair and clocks EC3. Bishop grins, hits his Crucifix Powerbomb he calls Bishop Road.

In the back Mac Davis is in the women’s bathroom again, he starts talking to Alice Crowley. Al kicks out Mac, but the camera guy stays and HoKane intercepts Al, cutting her off and then slamming her into the walls repeatedly claiming that CoKane is hers. 

Zombies and Barnabas continue looking for the owner of the Blue Hoodie…Barnabas knows the scent, says he hasn’t smelled it in years and then walks off as the camera fades looking conflicted. 

Overall Score: 7.5/10

A certifiably fun show, with decent acting and stories that…while a little corny, are still entertaining and intriguing. Will Yabo take out Violent J? Who is HoKane exactly, if she was allowed in the back to attack Big Al? Will J-Rod get her title back from Dani Mo? Why is Bishop walking around with the old JCW World title? Does Caleb’s Chosen One push mean he’s all but won the title next week? Is Kerry Morton legitimately turning babyface or is it just convenient timing?

As I’ve said numerous times, the matches are sometimes bad, but today everything was fairly good. But the stories are fun, I love how they have story threads that connect throughout the show. That’s something that most of the other companies don’t do, and just try to string people along from week to week, instead of connecting things within the same episode. It’s nice to feel and see a storyline evolve in the same 2 hour program instead of being left to assume or wonder if you care enough to tune in next week.

Love or hate Russo…this is easily the most entertaining wrestling product on Thursdays. Get down with the clown!
