On 19 December 1999, JCW was launched and released several DVDs in the following years.
In the early days of the company, talents often only appeared a couple of times before disappearing, or wrestlers accepted bookings with other companies, resulting in extended absences from JCW.
JCW began broadcasting the internet wrestling show SlamTV!
The show instituted a change in JCW's roster, with the promotion focusing on independent and hardcore wrestlers, while also bringing in established names on a consistent basis.
In the case of wrestlers who have had multiple stints in the company, the date of their last appearance is used.
