Before the interview began, Joey Janela made what he said was a “porn face.” Joel would ask Janela what the most non-deathmatch deathmatch he’s ever had was. Janela replied that it was against Matt Justice at AIW. They had a 22-minute match, and he could not walk afterward. Janela that he was dropped on his head after being put through tables and hit with chairs and doors in the head. Janela also mentioned that he got slammed through and buried through guardrails. Janela recommends checking it out on Fite+, and it’s a match that keeps escalating more and more.

Joel informed Janela that Benjamin Thull, his opponent that evening in Toronto, is a Chef. Janela said that he is a veteran and has been in the business for 18 years now, and he expects his opponents to bring him a gift like a lobster, lobster roll, lobster bisque, or anything else. He said he could no longer afford lobster because he was no longer getting a check from Tony Khan.

When asked what Janela’s favorite food is to eat on the road. He said when he goes to a city, he will get on Google, compare reviews, look at star ratings, and then blow all his merch money on food and alcohol.

Joel asked Janela about his time working in Ethan Page’s A1W promotion. Janela recalled his match against MJF. He said it was a great match. It’s a Falls Count Anywhere match you can watch on Youtube. Janela said he carjacked a vehicle as fans were leaving, and it was all done on the fly. Janela said he gave MJF the most vicious lariat of all time from a car window. Janela said MJF’s now a millionaire, while he is still working the indies, getting a hotdog and handshake.

Joel asked Janela where was the weirdest place he had ever wrestled. Janela said that in the early GCW days, they did a show at Six Flags Great Adventure in New Jersey. Janela said the entrance was where they did their Batman show. Janela said you had different types of Gotham City buildings by the entrance- way. Janela also recalled a Falls Count Anywhere match that he had in England. Janela said it went viral because it was on a double-decker bus, and he almost got arrested.

They would wrap up the interview with Janela promoting his GCW Spring Break event in Los Angeles. Janela said he was not doing drugs that weekend and is still trying to land an NXT developmental deal and made sure to let everyone know that his piss will be clean in two months.
