Three episodes of JCW's internet show SlamTV! Express were also taped on this tour.
Production Background Following the release of the first three JCW videos, the company sporadically began referring to itself as Juggalo Championship Wrestling. On July 16, 2007, the company updated its website, changing all references of itself to Juggalo Championship Wrestling. Their logo, however, continued to display the words "Juggalo Championshit Wrestling" until late 2008.
In early 2010, to celebrate the release of the Bang! Pow! Boom! Nuclear Edition album, Insane Clown Posse announced that they would be doing a national tour. Dubbed the "Happy Daze Tour", the tour also featured Necro, the Kottonmouth Kings, Canadian metal band Kittie, and Grammy Award-winning rapper Coolio who had been a featured at the 2009 Gathering of the Juggalos. The tour also featured matches from the Insane Clown Posse's professional wrestling promotion, Juggalo Championship Wrestling on select dates.
Professional wrestling storylines The Happy Daze Tour featured professional wrestling matches that involves different wrestlers from pre-existing scripted feuds and storylines. Wrestlers portrayed villains, heroes, or less distinguishable characters in scripted events that built tension and culminated in a wrestling match or series of matches. Storylines were produced on Juggalo Championship Wrestling's various events and their weekly internet program SlamTV!.
