Gathering of the Juggalos '04 wrestling convention

[LucharesuFan619 0]

I got to wondering...what's going on with Juggalo Championshit (that's the name, I'm not making fun of it or something) Wrestling and the ICP? What's up with the 2004 Gathering of the Juggalos convention? Is there gonna be one? They've had it the last three or four years and have bought some big ass talent in, like Sabu, Vampiro, and Shane Douglas, along with some great indy talent, but since last year when M-Dogg 20 murdered himself with an Asai Moonsault, I haven't heard any news on this year's event, and last year it took place in February, IIRC. You'd think that after getting exposure relatively recently in TNA that the ICP would try to capitalize on the wrestling side of their endeavors as much as possible. Ya, I know they were backstage at the backyard wrestling convention show in San Francisco a few weeks ago and one of them (who'll rename nameless) even had a rundown with another wrestler who was backstage (" "), and its also obvious that they branched out last year into the backyard wrestling game, but still...come on...they didn't just decide to concentrate full-time on promoting the BYW games, did they? They're still on great terms with Rudeboy and have been for the past what...three, four years? So, what's to lose? I mean, run a show with some of the big names like those they've brought in before and they'll get the video game tons more publicity than it already has. It's wierd because more than any other year that the convention has occurred, the ICP could capitalize on their success and exposure in the wresting business as of late, but I haven't heard a damn thing about any of it. Anyone have any info on what's going on with these guys and the (now former?) GOTJ convention?

JCW Rockin' the Gathering

July 07, 2004

 

 

Just in case you thought we wouldn't have any fresh announcements this close to the Gathering, staple your scalps down cuz we have some wig-flipping flavor to reveal! The Rude Boy has been freakin' the booking biz as hard as he freaks the ring, and he's got some major league talent for this year's JCW matches! These are the names we have 100% locked down:

 

 

Jerry "The King" Lawler-all the history and experience that comes with being "The King" sweeps into the JCW stage with this current WWE superstar!

 

Terry Funk-icon of hardcore wrestling!

 

Dusty Rhodes-former NWA world champion!

 

Sabu-Juggalo favorite and former JCW Champion!

 

Kid Kash-current TNA star!

 

Monty Brown-current TNA star!

 

Lenny Lane-former WCW TV champion!

 

Nosawa-current JCW champion and TNA star!

 

Plus you'll see all the JCW classics: Madman Pondo, 2 Tuff Tony, Necro Butcher, Bryar Wellington, and more!

 

This final bit of news may come as a shock to some of you, and will sadden many others, but here it is: The Gathering of the Juggalos 2004 will be the final wrestling performance of our own Rude Boy! That's right, after an illustrious and blood-spattered career in wrestling, Rudy has decided to retire from the ring and focus his talents on other things-like getting fresh wrestlers for JCW! But this is it Juggalos, your last chance to sit ringside and see the Rude Boy in action, and rumor has it he's taking on one of the superstars he's brought in this year for a one-time-only Gathering-exclusive Retirement Rumble! This is your last chance to come and root for the Rude Boy, so don't miss it!!!!!

Looks like a pretty good lineup this year. Who'd have thought Lawler to perform at the GOTJ?
