Looking through MSL's timeline it seems like he's been needling Joey a lot over the last 24 hours or so so I wonder if Joey's just had enough of the needling. Not defending Joey's DM threat but neither party looks great here. Very true. I'm guessing though that Janella has more to lose than some idiot in Twitter though.

It's not a job costing decision to get goaded into a dumb DM, but he definitely needs to be mindful that the asshole IS goading him into this stuff.
I get Twitter is a big way to shill your product, but some wrestlers really need to hand their accounts over to PR people for extended periods of time like Thunder Rosa and The Bucks

I've worked with MSL before - Fake AWA, 2007. Dude takes this shit way too seriously.
I wonder if she still makes everyone call him "Mister Saint Laurent." Case in point: I once had the audacity to refer to him as "Mr. Saint Laurent" in an email. He lost his damn mind. I was calling freaking Steve Corino "Steve" at that point. (He actually made me.) But this nobody from Florida whose entire life at the time revolved around Larry Zybysko's tee times? You better not call him Jared or shorten "Mister." Heads will roll!
I'm not defending Joey, but I know damn well what brought him to that point.

I've known MSL since 98 or 99,him and Mike Sorrow were posters at RSPW. MSL has always been like this.
But then there is a difference between MSL and Maurice. Maurice is a nice dude,a blast to talk wrestling with. MSL is an odd person.
Janela on the other hand appears to always be Janela.

Like, even when you're being blatantly baited, you need to be able to resist taking the bait.
And no, that doesn't mean I think MSL is good or in the right.
It just means I think Janela needs to learn not to fall for obvious bait. Control what he can control.

Yeah, I feel a lot of people in this thread just assumed MSL was some random Twitter troll and not a fairly influential person in his own right in the business as an executive of MLW.
While Joey probably shouldn't be engaging so heavily, MSL did make some pretty damn big accusations that could sink Joey's career if anyone actually believed him, like saying Joey worked drunk at a Fusion taping and injured someone. That's not something that I feel you should just brush over, especially when it's coming from someone in MLW management.

Joey's overreacted a smidge but he's only human and we can all snap. He's just done his publicly.

I feel like Joey and a lot of wrestlers in general could do themselves a big favor by getting out of the toxic cesspool that is Twitter. Heck, most people could stand to get off that site in general. It's murder for one's mental health and the format's almost designed to encourage fighting and un-nuanced arguments.

Janela is the dumbest smart person in wrestling. There are times where he seems like a great self promoter, like someone who knows what to say to get noticed and get him and his friends booked. Other times he's as thin skinned as present day Chris Jericho, locked in an endless series of twitter spats over nonsense. His treatment of his body will make him look and move like present day Jericho too, sooner than he'd like.

Yeah, for all the talk of this looking bad for Joey, it looks way worse for MLW with how this executive for MLW is coming off. It’s basically the Swole/Khan stuff but 10 times worse considering.

The worst thing Janela did here was take the bait. Every other aspect makes MSL look terrible and has MLW continuing to look like shit since they announced the WWE lawsuit which... is some interesting irony.

This just has Kitty from Arrested Development shouting “did you hear that? MICHAEL BLUTH IS THREATENING ME” vibes. I dunno if he then flashed his boobs at Joey, I didn’t see the other Tweets.

Taking this stuff to DMs just makes it look a million times worse, IMO. At least if it's kept in the open on Twitter you can claim to be working. Janela made a mistake DMing the guy and saying that, no matter how much he's been wound up or screwed over.

Even though I am a huge Janela fan, even though I think the MLW guy is being silly tagging networks, I still believe this is why Janela might not be re-signed. He is always getting into some weird fight with people, and one day its going be too much for a national wrestling company.

MSL is the guy who gained notoriety for leaking Chinese Democracy demo's, right?
Not heard his name for years. The internet is wild.

Are we going to somehow find out Joey Janela was responsible for the big Nintendo leak in 2020? Not sure how this story can get wilder, really.

MSL is also behind the Rampage fast nationals leaking (this might not be true).
