The Tempest Release Party Tour was a multi-day concert and professional wrestling tour hosted by the American horrorcore hip-hop duo, the Insane Clown Posse and produced by Psychopathic Records and Juggalo Championship Wrestling (JCW). The tour also featured tapings for JCW's weekly internet professional wrestling show, SlamTV! and was held to promote the release of the Insane Clown Posse's album The Tempest.

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 late 2006, the company began a three-month cross-promotional rivalry with Philadelphia-based promotion Pro Wrestling Unplugged. The relationship between the companies continued after the events, as PWU owner Tod Gordon allowed multiple wrestlers to compete for JCW in the Tempest Release Party tour.
Vampiro was originally scheduled to be part of the tour, but was pulled out at the last minute due to SlamTV! being scheduled for a national release on DVD, which would have violated his contract with Wrestling Society X. The tour was taped from February 25-March 20, 2007. A pair of "Free Pay-Per-Views" were also held; the first, named West Side Wars, was held in Long Beach, California, and was aired on June 20, 2007, and the second, called East Side Wars, was held in Philadelphia and aired on July 28 as special episodes of SlamTV!. It also hosted its premier wrestling event at ICP's annual "Gathering of the Juggalos" festival entitled Bloodymania.
Storylines The Tempest Release Party 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!.
