Early life

Joey Janela was raised in Asbury Park, New Jersey. Janela would lie to professional wrestling promoters to start wrestling at age 15, telling them that he was of legal wrestling age.[2] Janela grew up a fan of deathmatches and the style of wrestling that became popular in Extreme Championship Wrestling and other promotions that sprung up once ECW went under. Janela became enthralled in the "high-risk, high-reward style of match" presented in hardcore wrestling.[2]

Professional wrestling career

Independent circuit (2006–present)

Janela made his professional wrestling debut at a 2006 National Wrestling Superstars show in which he lost in a Triple Threat match against JD Smooth and Corey Havoc.[3] He would keep on working for them until the year of 2012 when World Xtreme Wrestling booked him in a match against Brandon Scott.[4]

At Progress Wrestling's New York City event, Janela would debut losing to Jimmy Havoc in a No Disqualification match.[5] In 2018 at Progress Chapter 66: Mardi Graps, he would participate in Progress Wrestling's Thunderbastard Battle Royal, he and other notable participants Austin Theory, Chris Brookes and Maxwell Jacob Friedman would lose to Jeff Cobb.[6] Janela would participate in the company's Super Strong Style 16 Tournament at Progress Chapter 68 losing his first round to Zack Gibson.[7] He would participate at the same event in a 6-man tag team match. On the last day of the tournament, he would win against Jimmy Havoc in a Deathmatch.[8]

Janela recently has worked for Major League Wrestling, Game Changer Wrestling, Beyond Wrestling, DEFY Wrestling, SMASH Wrestling, AAW, and CHIKARA.

At Best of the Best 14, he was in a triple threat with CJP and Joe Gacy in which CJP got the victory.
