Remember Joey talking mad shit to Enzo on Twitter then curling up in a ball like a frightened turtle when Enzo confronted him in person? I don’t know anything about this other dude but Joey seems like a keyboard gangster. I doubt he’s going to send goons to someone’s house or anything.

Yes that’s the same person. 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. There was a big Nintendo leak in 2020 ? Anyway I know that this is a thread about Joey Janela but it’s an issue with many wrestlers and people in wrestling on social media in that they reply to people and in situations where they should just leave well enough alone. Just because you have the ability to respond does not mean you are obliged to do so. Now, obviously if something completely beyond the pale is said then yes those people should be called on it.

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. The guy was looking to get that reaction. Judging only by this screenshot and the fact that he was needling Janella, I figure this is one of those guys that gets his jollies from antagonizing people until they snap on him so he can then report them. That’s a sad existence. That said, it’s really easy to shut those guys down. You ignore them or block them. Nothing positive cones from engaging trolls like that, and Janella should know better. The guy he messaged is pathetic, but Janella is an idiot for his response. EDIT: Wait, the troll guy is an MLW exec? Ok that does bump it up a bit. Still something Janella shouldn’t have reacted to as he did, but it not being a random schlub makes it more understandable why he did respond. He just chose his response poorly. Very poorly.

"Pick the lesser of two evils" issue here, but yeah, Janela has always been trouble.
Only time I remember him being close to civil was when he was, like, a rookie and was working Dapper Johnny's shows.

There was a big Nintendo leak in 2020 ? I can’t even begin to get into it but yeah, a lot of the stuff that came out was wild. Everything from Roms to scrapped Pokémon designs, the works.

Twitter is just the f***ing worst, man. I hope soon I'll be able to just completely ignore it altogether.

Yeah no chance that he gets re-signed now. The guy is a headache with a ton of baggage AEW doesn't have much use for him as a wrestler, but as a talent scout the guy has been pretty indispensable to at least two companies. If they don't re-sign him as a competitor, which they probably shouldn't I hope they can at least find a way to keep using him in that capacity.

A wrestling company exec trying to goad someone ...right. Janela is an idiot for being goaded though.

Also to be clear, the issue is that Joey constantly finds himself in these situations. And Joey tends to be stubborn and doesn't drop things and can come off as pretty belligerent at times

Tony is petty but unlike MLW and other companies , he doesnt try to sabotage wrestler's career That SHOULDNT be the bar but still

I mean, hey, if AEW doesn't want Joey, it's their loss. He's always been a GCW guy to me anyway.
I really think this year or next, Impact and either GCW or WWE is going to take advantage of AEW's flaws. And people like Joey, Bussy, Gray, and others put GCW in a really good position to do that.
As for MLW, the execs there, top down, are clown shoes. And that will always stop them from being a major player.

I'm pretty sure Joey was high out of his mind at that video but still. He is definitely not real fighter thats for sure

If they don't re-sign him as a competitor, which they probably shouldn't I hope they can at least find a way to keep using him in that capacity. yeah maybe so, I think Leva Bates, Christopher Daniels, nakazawa and Cutler all have backstage roles but will probably not wrestle except for odd occasions

Isn't MSL that asshole who's related to a former Canadian PM and made that really exploitative feeling youtube show with Scott Hall, Larry Z and others when Hall was at his lowest ebb? Last call, geddit, he drinks! Har-de-har-har.
