OK. First, some wrestling news
ICP has quit World Championship Wrestling, less than one week after they signed a one-year contract with the company. This is what the contract was for: ICP was to give WCW up to 75 appearances both on TV and at Pay-Per-View events over the next 12 months. WCW was to pay ICP somewhere around the likes of $350,000 with bonuses. Both parties agreed to the deal. Only a week later however, ICP just up and quit the company and the deal out of nowhere. It breaks down like this.
Everything was working out fine. WCW had teamed ICP and the wrestler Vampiro together, and it seemed the people liked it. It was working out great. ICP and Vampiro were both happy working with each other. They actually grew to become good friends. We liked it, they liked it, the Juggalos liked iteverybody agreed that the Insane Clown Posse & Vampiro connection was the bomb in WCW.
All the sudden, WCW hired a new booking team to write the wrestling story lines from now on. This was a good move for WCW but a bad move for ICP. The new team came in out of nowhere and for some unknown reason, they decided to end the whole Vampiro & ICP thingeven though the fans loved it! They wanted Vampiro as a solo wrestler and ICP as a separate Tag Team. This pissed everybody off, including Vampiro.
Vamp pulled ICP aside and told them that the new bookers also decided to cut his paycheck in half, so he was considering quitting anyway. Splitting him from ICP was the last straw. Vamp called the bookers of Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW) right then and there, to see if they would be interested in taking him in. ECW was interested in Vampiro, and they came to a rough agreement right there on the spot. That was all he needed to know; Vampiro was quitting. He told ICP that no matter what happens, this was his last day with WCW. ICP then decided to quit as well. They felt WCW was playing them all for suckers, and they liked the idea of joining Vampiro in ECW. Without Vamp, the clowns wanted no part of WCW, so they went straight to the new bookers and quit right there on the spot. It seemed ICP and Vampiro were down for each other, no matter where they wrestle.
Two days later, to our surprise, Vampiro suddenly reached a new agreement with WCW, and he then decided to stay. As for the clowns, there was no turning back. When they quit that night, they were not as friendly as they could have been. Were told that J and Shaggy just kind of marched up to the new bookers and said "BYE, HOMIES! WE OUTTI. GET YOU SOME NEW CLOWNS!!!" So theres no coming back for them I guess.
You can look at the situation anyway you want. Some say Vampiro sold ICP out by staying with WCW, even though ICP had his back with quitting. That might be one way of looking at it. People must understand, however, that wrestling is not ICPs main profession. Music is! For Vampiro on the other hand, wrestling is how he makes his cheddar. So he did what was best for him and his family. We dont think he sold them out in any way. Maybe when he first went back to WCW, he could have demanded that they re-hire ICP as well, but he didnt. Aww, fuck it. Who cares?
Have you watched WCW lately? Now they got the Misfits with Vampiro. Thats cool, I guess. The Misfits are homies with ICP. They are even in ICPs new movie coming out. So we like seeing them do good. Vampiro is still ICPs homie and he always will be. You can tell what the fans liked better anyway.
Some tour news
ICP and Twiztid (Twiztid by the way, debuts in this issue) are currently on tour all across the US. They will remain on this tour until Haleys Comet comes back around. They have no plans of ever stopping. Theyre out on the "Wicked Clowns from Outer Space Tour." Its that back to the roots, small venue tour that Juggalos have been waiting for.

Psychopathic Sports news
Get this: ICP & Psychopathic Records has joined up with two pro wrestling bookers named Brian Gorie and Dave Prazack. Together, they have started a new, crazy wrestling promotion. Its called J.C.W. which stands for Juggalo Championshit Wrasslin. The first show is on December 19th in Detroit at St. Andrews Hall. It sold out completely in only five days.
The 1st show features the main event of Insane Clown Posse vs. Doink the Clown and Doink the Clown! No lie! It also features Psychopathics own, non-wrestler employees taking on real wrestlers! For example, Tom Dub, who by the way only weighs 150lbs, will take on the legendary 500lb. King Kong Bundy! Also Patrick, who is one of ICPs roadies, and has no idea how to wrestle, will take on the one and only Abdullah the Butcher! This show will be insane to say the least.
Theres also an exploding barbed wire, strangelmania style, tag team match
a womans thumb tack death match
a flaming tables, death battle royal, and much, much more.
Dont worry, the show is being professionally filmed, along with interviews and ringside commentary for a home video release. The home video should hit stores around March of 2000. To hear match results and more shit about J.C.W., call the free Juggalo Wrestling Hotline (313) 438-1415. If its busy, keep trying, ninja.
Thats all for now, ninjas. Stay down with the clowns and remember todays wise words of wisdom
