The scene would not be the same if Joey Hayes was not in it true veteran also he is a very nice guy spoken a fair few times to him knows how to work a crowd a great singles and tag wrestler can work face or heel. Top guy top wrestler icon of the indies"

"An absolute legend of British wrestling still going strong. Never been a flashy moves kind of guy but every match means something and always connects with the crowd."

Overall he just had wrestling skills, had good rivalries with Ashley Dunn, Bubblegum & Kris Travis RIP, pretty much it."

[8.0] "The fella is a backbone of an independent scene in the north. For good or ill, he has never been fashionable or over with the internet crowd ( the likes of me basically) but you are always going to be entertained when his name is on the marquee. Knows his job inside out and does it bloody well."

[10.0] "Amazing performer is Hayes. One of my favourite to watch. Tones of charisma and has some pretty cool moves too. Nothing too flashy but it gets the job done. Only thing he needs to work on is sticking to one gimmick everywhere. Tassle Mania would be perfect for all his bookings :)"
