Bloodymania (2007) - Background

Background

Bloodymania featured professional wrestling matches that involved different wrestlers from pre-existing scripted feuds, plots, and storylines that were played out on SlamTV!, Juggalo Championship Wrestling's (JCW) internet program. Wrestlers were portrayed as either a villain or a hero as they followed a series of events that built tension, and culminated into a wrestling match or series of matches. The event featured wrestlers from JCW's SlamTV!.

The predominant rivalry for the show was a confrontation between the team of Insane Clown Posse (Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dope) and Trent Acid, rooted on the first episode of SlamTV!. Trent Acid, the self-proclaimed "Savior of JCW", debuted in the promotion by cutting a promo against the Juggalo fanbase, the company, and Insane Clown Posse (real-life owners of JCW). While continuing to badmouth the company in the following weeks, Acid had confrontations with several heroes of the company and friends of Insane Clown Posse. On the final episode of the season, Shaggy 2 Dope announced that he would return to wrestling after being out for 15 months due to a legitimate neck injury which required surgery. Shaggy stated that he, Violent J, and friend Sabu would team up to take on Trent Acid and The Young Alter Boys (Alter Boy 1 and Alter Boy 4) in a Six Man Tag Team match at Bloodymania.

Corporal Robinson came into SlamTV! as JCW Heavyweight Champion, and began the season searching for a worthy contender for his championship. In the fourth episode, Trent Acid won a 10 Man Battle Royal to become the number one contender for Robinson's championship. At West Side Wars, Acid pinned Robinson after using the championship belt as a weapon, and became the new JCW Heavyweight Champion. Corporal Robinson received a rematch at East Side Wars in a Steel Cage Match, and regained the championship after performing a Diving leg drop through a table off the top of the cage. On the final episode of the season, it was announced that Robinson would face off against WWC Universal Heavyweight Champion Scott Hall in a hardcore match at Bloodymania.

On the first episode of SlamTV!, Insane Clown Posse (owners of JCW, and then-Tag Team champions) announced that they had stripped themselves of the JCW Tag Team Championship due to the titles not being defended in over a year. The vacating of the titles caused several tag teams to emerge. Mad Man Pondo and Necro Butcher dominated competition all season, establishing themselves as top contenders for the vacant tag team titles. Newcomers Zach Gowen and Human Tornado formed the tag team the Pimp & Gimp Connection and made an immediate impact, earning themselves a spot in the title match. Later, it was announced that the championship would be contested in an eight team tag-team elimination match featuring tag teams of the past and present. Other teams announced for the match included Bad Breed (Axl and Ian Rotten), The Original Dream Team (Brutus Beefcake and Greg Valentine), The Headshrinkers (Samu and Alofa), Team All Japan (Brute Issei and Akira Raijin), The Basham Brothers (Doug Basham and The Damaja), and Tito and Jorge Santana.

Nosawa was a main veteran hero with considerable success in JCW. However, he started off SlamTV! with a string of loses, losing all of his first five matches. After receiving a letter from his storyline mentor The Great Muta, stating that Muta was coming to check up on his pupil, Nosawa gained confidence and began a winning streak. At "East Side Wars", Muta teamed with Nosawa to help him defeat the team of Mad Man Pondo and Necro Butcher. Nosawa continued his winning streak into episode 14, where he was assaulted after his match by Justin Credible. On the following episode, Nosawa interfered in Credible's match by spitting Asian mist into his eyes. A match was then set for Nosawa and The Great Muta to face Justin Credible and his mystery partner at Bloodymania.

2 Tuff Tony had been involved in a scripted rivalry with Tracy Smothers when, as part of the storyline, Smothers was arrested and forced off the rest of the tour. The following weeks saw Tony taking on various opponents. At "East Side Wars" he was attacked after his match by Bull Pain, who hit him multiple times with a metal baseball bat. After the assault, Pain placed Tony on a table and proceeded to leap off stage, driving Tony through the table. While Tony was out injured as part of the storyline, Pain continued to beat opponents mercilessly using the metal baseball bat he called Brother Pain. On the final episode of the season, it was announced that 2 Tuff Tony would take on Bull Pain at Bloodymania in a Louisville Slugger match, where it is legal to use baseball bats as weapons.
