Is the dick gimmick all this guy has? The few times I’ve seen it I’m just confused as to why people are so into it.

Honestly, Joey Ryan needs to just f*** off. I absolutely detest and see not even a remote bit of comedy element to what he does.
Why The Elite seem so big on him and stuff is beyond me.
Though I guess it's probably dating back to the early years of PWG.

Not gonna lie, I kinda love it? And I say that as someone who's not typically into Joey's whole schtick, but yeah, I loved that.

No, Joey's been on the indies since the early 2000's and he's had his fair share of gimmick evolution along the way. I'd recommend checking out PWG if you want to see Joey doing things other than this bit, there's years worth of material that show him to be comparable to a Bryan or Punk or Joe or Ohno or Sami or Owens in terms of skill and talent. This is just his latest bit and one that he does on honestly probably less than a quarter of the shows he's on per year. But because he's in that weird space Ohno was in post-NXT and a lot of the remaining older indie gen are in, his great matches aren't what get him noticed versus the comedy shtick in this age where more eyes are drawn more to "viral" material. Similar to how when he first started going viral in his tag team with Candice and he was doing the Crotch/Ballsplex (an overhead suplex done by grabbing someone's privates from behind). |

As long as stuff like this goes viral (or whatever you want to call it) and getting him booked, there is no reason to change it. In LU and before using this dick gimmick, he's using a sleepy gimmick which fun to watch. I think he did a shooter like gimmick in CWFH as well. |

"The Technical Wizard" Joey Ryan, if I'm not mistaken, which was just such a bleh gimmick. |

That is so corny. It didn’t even look cool, I don’t get the dick gimmick thing at all. I’m not going to a wrestling show called Joey Ryan’s Penis Party, like, cmon. This dude sucks.

If you listen closely, you can hear Jim Cornette's aneurysm around the globe.

Joey Ryan was never thought of as on those guys level whatsoever. He didn’t make a real name for himself until the dick gimmick, you are giving him too much credit. I'll agree to disagree then, because when I first started getting into PWG and socal wrestling it was literally because I heard from other people "Hey, you need to check out these matches guys like Bryan and Hero are having with some dude named Joey Ryan, they're good!" Along with examples of replacing Joey's name with Super Dragon's or a lot of the then top socal talent in PWG. There was definitely buzz around the core PWG guys in the 2000's, because I have met many fans with similar stories as to how they got into PWG. Personally while I felt he was a step below them at the very start of the company Joey really grew into his own once he started his 70's sleaze persona and has been a phenomenal talent since for years. I think if you think he didn't make a name for himself before the dick gimmick you're selling him short. People have known who Joey Ryan is for well over a decade now, that's a fact, and he's only really started using the dick gimmick the last few years. |

If you listen closely, you can hear Jim Cornette's aneurysm around the globe. I wonder what would annoy him more. This, or that if Revival leave WWE, he'll pretty much have to work a show with Ryan and Omega at least once since they'd probably write him a fat check to manage the Revival. (I know Cornette doesn't want to tour anymore, but there's no way he'd turn down a one-off, and the Bucks, etc, wouldn't turn down a chance to have freaking James Cornette have to swallow his pride and work for them) |
