Fox News reports that Violent J of Insane Clown Posse has been reflecting on his long connection to professional wrestling ahead of Bloodymania 19, a flagship event for his promotion, Juggalo Championship Wrestling. The piece presents his wrestling career as a parallel track to his music career, tracing how an early ambition to become a wrestler eventually led to appearances in major US promotions and then to building his own brand. It matters mainly as a profile of a crossover figure in music and wrestling, and as promotion for an event aimed at the Juggalo fan community.

The article says Violent J, now 54 and from Michigan, first wrestled in the 1980s, returned in the 1990s, and later appeared in ECW, WWF/WWE and WCW before launching JCW in 1999. He recalls that a WWF approach to create entrance music for The Oddities turned into an in-ring opportunity, including a SummerSlam appearance at Madison Square Garden, and says early JCW shows in Detroit sold out partly because fans knew him as a musician rather than a wrestler. Fox News adds that JCW now runs a weekly Thursday night YouTube show called "Lunacy", while Bloodymania 19 is scheduled for 20-21 August in Macks Creek, Missouri, during the annual Gathering of the Juggalos.
