Violent J is happy to be talent only in NWA.
The Battleground podcast recently welcomed Violent J of the Insane Clown Posse to the show. Violent J will be appearing at NWA 75 and he shared how he linked up with the promotion.
“When Billy Corgan hooked up with the NWA, he owns it,” Violent J explained, “When he bought it, I became a legit fan. I loved what they were doing, how they had the old setup. Colt Cabana was there and he’s a good friend of mine. So I was primarily at the beginning checking it out to see Colt Cabana. Then I was like, ‘This is dope!’ I liked what [Billy] was doing with it.
“Next thing you know, Vampiro, who was our world champion in [Juggalo Championship Wrestling], our promotion, he’s been our champion on and off for many years. When we hooked up many years ago back in WCW,” he explained, “we remained good friends all of these years. He’s one of the only guys that we remained consistently close with the whole time.”
Vampiro’s Move
Violent J says Vampiro won the JCW title three years ago and retired it at the 2023 Gathering of the Juggalos. When he heard Vampiro was headed to NWA, he knew he had to get involved.
“I was like, ‘Tell them I want to come in!’ [laughs] He was like, ‘Alright.’ I said ‘Ask Billy Corgan if I can get his number.’ And so Vamp asked him and Billy Corgan was cool as fuck,” Violent J stated. “We start talking and the rest is history.
Violent J said it would be nice to see himself on TV and not be the promoter of the show he’s on.
“If I could come back anywhere in wrestling, since it’s been a while, I’m glad to be in NWA because I love what it’s about. I love what they’re doing and I’m excited.”
The NWA 75th Anniversary Show will take place on August 26 and 27, 2023 at the Chase’s Khorassan Ballroom in St. Louis, Missouri. Violent J will be appearing in the corner of The Brothers of Funstruction (Yabo and Ruffo).
