In progress...
2019 closed as the most successful year in SLAMJAM history. Beginning the year, SJPW finally cemented itself as the only true Florida territory by expanding the geographic coverage and increasing the number of live events.
During the summer, SLAMJAM embarked on a risky and aggressive nationwide tour holding twenty-seven events and fan festivals over thirty-five days.
Capitalizing on the success of the summer tour, SLAMJAM once again hit the road with it's themed circus concept tour, BIGTOPHERO, hosted primarily by state organized fairs.
As the year came to a close, SLAMJAM partnered with the professional wrestling governing body, the North American Wrestling Council. A partnership that will allow SLAMJAM to grow both regionally and nationally through the NAWC's affiliates.
January 9th - Johnny Dreamer beats Flex Armstrong to capture the SLAMJAM World Heavyweight Championship. While a ceasefire of sorts was called between Dreamer/NMX and Flex/SKWAT, it was almost immediately broken when Pretty Boy and Beef made their way to ringside to assist their teammate. Howlin’ Joe and Dusty Griffith cut the meatheads off which gave NMX the opening to blindside Flex and lead to Johnny Dreamer’s first World Championship.
June 15th - After nearly three years of chasing the prize, Howlin’ Joe Wolfe captures the SLAMJAM World Heavyweight Championship, defeating Johnny Dreamer in Jacksonville. Dusty Griffith led a team of enforcers to keep the ringside area clear and to finally give Joe a fair, one-on-one opportunity to face the champion.
The Platinum Exchange [Adam Cane & Julian Chambers] make their debut and attack Love Machine and leave Edwin Lovelace a bloody mess, sparking a heated rivalry.
July 4th - Howlin' Joe Wolfe retains against Alex Graves of NMX.
Love Machine successfully defend the Tag Team titles against CrossBow [Timothy Cross & Bowman Carver]. The Platinum Exchange jump Love Machine immediately after the bell, flatten both teams and shave the head of Edwin Lovelace.
Flex Armstrong beats Reggie "Hash" Brown.
Dusty Griffith is attacked after his victory over Beef by yet another jacked up freak, albeit a much shorter one. The 5'6" Jacob Calhoun, "The Juice", blinds Dusty with pre-workout powder and leads Flex and SKWAT in an attack.
July 5th - August 8th - The SummerSLAMJAM Tour. 27 events, 26 cities, 22 states. All events host the SLAMJAMFEST all day event prior to the show with meet and greet opportunities with the SJPW roster as well as Team Danger and various legends of wrestling throughout the tour.
Shows feature headlining matches featuring Dusty Griffith, Howlin’ Joe Wolfe, Reggie Brown and Love Machine squaring off in different combinations against Johnny Dreamer, NMX, Flex Armstrong, SKWAT and The Platinum Exchange.

September 14th - The Platinum Exchange beat Love Machine to capture the tag team titles in Chicago.

November 30th - Johnny Dreamer defeats Howlin' Joe Wolfe to capture his second SLAMJAM World Championship.
Dusty Griffith defeats Flex Armstrong only to be attacked, yet again, by SKWAT and "The Juice". After fighting them off and clearing the ring, Dusty delivers a fiery challenge to Flex "Loser Leaves SLAMJAM" at Year End Extravaganza.
December 28th - Johnny Dreamer successfully defends his title against Reggie "Hash" Brown.
Dusty Griffith defeats Flex Armstrong in a "Loser Leaves SLAMJAM" match. Following the match, a dejected Flex is berated by "The Juice" Calhoun until he had heard enough. Flex grabs Calhoun by the neck only to be cut off and attacked by his now former MuscleMania cohorts, Beef and Pretty Boy.
The fans erupt as Dusty Griffith returns with Howlin' Joe Wolfe to clear the MuscleMania meatheads from the ring and stop their vicious beating of Flex. Dusty and Joe try to help Flex up but as he finally realizes what has occurred, bewildered and defeated, he simply rolls out of the ring and disappears into the back.
