[7.0] "Joey Janela has made a name for himself blending high-flying, hardcore action with charisma, and created a signature platform in Joey Janela's Spring Break. Janela's hardcore, crazy style isn't for everyone. Some might find his matches excessive or unsettling. Especially moments like the violence-filled brawls at GCW events."
[8.0] "He is a great deathmatch wrestler that is always willing to put his body on the line. He is a fairly good in ring performer and his promos are fairly good but nothing to special."
[5.0] "Joey is not a TV wrestler, and that's okay. He's the kind of wrestler who is meant to tour and wrestle in front of live audiences. He isn't the best character nor is he the best wrestler, but he always brings fun to whatever city he visits. I am a huge fan of Joey, but he's someone I like watching in person once a year. I don't need to see any more of them than the once a year I see him, and that's totally okay. He's an attraction wrestler, in that he'll probably do some really cool hardcore shit for you when he comes to your town. I wouldn't mind seeing him get some one-off opportunities in AEW or TNA here and there. His matches with Jon Moxley, Hangman Page, Darby & Havoc, and Kenny Omega are proof that he can give you a great match. Some wrestlers are meant for touring, and for people to see them when they come to town, and some are meant for everyone to watch them weekly on TV. Joey is the former, and that's not a bad thing. He knows what he's good at, and he knows what he's not good at. He never pretends to be something he's not, and I love that about him."
[4.0] "While I don't have an apoplectic fit of rage over Joey Janela like it does for some people, but I definitely am not a fan of his aside from 2 matches or something, which are only because of who he faces. I do feel bad for him that Jim Cornette's audience harasses him endlessly for merely existing, however."
[4.0] "Don't get it at all. He's not a total scrub I just find him so vanilla and so boring. I find him more interesting as a person just talking about wrestling than I find him interesting as a wrestler. Even seeing what people consider to be his best matches, I'm completely lost at what gives him any appeal. I give him credit for what he's willing to put his body through for the love of wrestling in all of his deathmatches, but I just don't get it with this guy."
[10.0] "A guy who put GCW on his back and made it the biggest indie in the world. Forget what the haters say. You don't start the most popular independent show of Wrestlemania weekend and get a spot on All In and be one of the first signees to AEW because you suck. Joey can sell tickets, so who cares if he's not Zack Sabre Jr. I can't wait to see him and Tanaka in January."
[6.0] "Some sports have perennial minor leaguers and sports entertainment is no different. In the case of Joey Janela, he managed to promote himself in such a way that his bad boy persona caught on with a segment of the fans. Does this mean he's major league material? Not really - He had a chance at a national league and admittedly told people he wasn't a gym guy. With that decided, Janela has chosen the path of being a independent league headliner and if that's what pays the bills, all power to him."
[2.0] "Joey Janela is somebody who is 1000% aware that wrestling is often silly and ridiculous, and having somebody to a meta character based off of that is not entirely a bad thing. HOWEVER When you are basically doing that your entire career and just put on horrible to decent matches that are packed full of meaningless nonsense, it really does detract from everything you're doing as well as everybody else in the business. I do not like being mean, but I don't understand how Janela was seen as such a big and important star in the world of wrestling. Dude was signed to AEW on day one for pete's sake. I don't get it"
[9.0] "Super over on the indies despite what his detractors say. Great entrance and vibe. Tailor made for the indies. One of the most creative wrestlers out there. Always down for a crazy bump and is often the most memorable part of the show. His Kavinsky theme is one of the most iconic themes on the indies the last decade."
[7.0] "More of a fit for the indies with crazier spot matches and bumps. His in-ring action is good, but his matches can lack psychology. He can get over with a crowd and talk on the mic. He can be comedic at times but can also have more serious matches. His AEW run proves that while he excels on the indies he might not fit in at larger promotions."
[3.0] "He's the sort of wrestler that will be in a match where he opponents works a body parts for 6-7 mins, but then not sell that damage at any other point in the match. He also takes huge bumps that make him look good for taking them instead of making his opponent look good for giving them. Whether he wins or loses has no connection to the match he just wrestled. Avoid his matches."
[10.0] "Janela is the king of the independents. I've seen him live a number of times and he always puts on a great show. Watch Janela vs. JT Dunn from GCW's first show in Providence. Janela is one of the busiest travelers currently working the indies. He's put on stellar matches for GCW, DDT, BZW, WSW, etc. all in the past year or so. Hoping to see him beat Blake Christian for the GCW World Championship. Janela deserves it."
[8.0] "I mean this in the nicest way possible - Joey is built to be an indie wrestler. He thrives when it comes to having creative freedom and having longer, chaotic matches not stunted by ad breaks. He's not perfect, but I genuinely feel like he's always "must-see" and will give you your moneys worth every time."
[4.0] "AEW wirkte stets eine Nummer zu groß für ihn. Er ist klein und ziemlich untrainiert, hat aber trotzdem ein gewisses Charisma und man erinnert sich definitv an ihn. Im Ring waren eigentlich nur seine Hardcore-Matches sehenswert. Hätte man ihn vielleicht deutlich weiter unten in der Card (und nicht gegen Weltstars wie Moxley oder Omega) gebracht und wäre mehr in die Comedy-Schiene gegangen, vielleicht hätte es besser funktioniert."
[9.0] "One of my favorites easily. One of the most creative minds and a deeply underrated worker. I don't get when people say he's all gimmick, he's spent 2022 having numerous 20+ minute barnburners. His match with Speedball Bailey is one of my favorites of the year so far. As far as I'm concerned, if you don't like Joey, you don't like wrestling."
[8.0] "Anyone that rates Joey low is out to lunch. This cat is so talented & versatile. One of the very best unsigned talents in the world. He can do it all. Whether it is straight up wrestling brawling hardcore high flying deathmatch it does not matter. Joey can do it & do it well!"
"From what I remember, he's a solid wrestler that got a lot of praise for protecting his opponents from injury. There's a certain layer to his cadence that just seems off in terms of personality..."
[8.0] "Good worker, great at the deathmatch style. Definitely gets too much hate for someone who does his job pretty well. Very funny as well. Wished he did more In aew but alas the past is the past and you gotta move on. Glad hes still doing stuff in the indies and GCW"
[4.0] "Janela is your typical crash dummy, he's just there because he likes to do dumb stuff, like being thrown off a roof into a car. He's also the guy who get in the ring to fight an invisible man, and also the one who lights his own footh on fire to kick his opponent. In other words, he is not good..."
[1.0] "As much as people love to complain about the WWE system, at least there is professionalism and order there. True it might all be about the money and appealing to the target demographics, but at least there is polish. Joey Janela is the antithesis of professional. The guy has heart and spirit, give him that. But does he have the business mind and willingness to improve himself? Does he want to put in the work to round out his skill-set and be the big dog? No. He's a goofy goober, and there are no signs of the goofy goober facial expressions ever stopping anytime soon. We're talking about him sure, but it isn't for the right reasons. The comedy bits fall flat, the bodily harm is just depressing, an overall bummer. 1.8/10 for Joey Janela. A wrestler strictly for the reddit.com community."
[9.0] "Reinventing himself after leaving AEW, Joey Janela likes to make sure people are talking about him by doing a great job in the ring. Very happy to have the opportunity to see him wrestle at BodyZoï Wresting in Belgium, this is the style Europe needed to make wrestling more famous."
[9.0] "this guy is amazing. I saw them twice in Belgium the first time against MBM it was a crazy match 40min of pure happiness and the 2nd time against Aigle a more classic match but as great and now he is champion in Belgium so can't wait to see him again soon here"
[7.0] "Wow he went downhill after AEW. I like Janela but christ is he inconsistent, he's got a great character and can work when he wants too, but he's kinda lazy. He's not in the best shape but he's not like Mean Mitch Page, people are kinda weird about his image and I dont think that's ok."
[5.0] "A decent wrestler has some great skills but some of his matches lack what he has, he holds back on many occasions and instead goes for the comedy approach in wrestling while on other occasions this dude has all the skills to go far in a major promotion if he drops the comedy act he will become a massive star in tna, wwe, aew or nwa."
[6.0] "Joey Janela represents the best and worst of indie wrestling. Spot fests, comedy, death matches, huge social media presence, wrestling in every continent, eternal hatred from Jim Cornette, the occasional actually serious match? If you're looking for a guy who has done it all, look no further. While I can't say I'm a big fan, I'd be lying if I said I never found him entertaining. The "big leagues" weren't and will never be a good fit for him, but maybe that's okay for him"
[5.0] "Difficult for me to rate. Did some decent promo and character work in AEW...and he had some good matches when paired up with high level partners. But seems like a free spirit who just needs to roam the world and do crazy shit until the day he injures himself too badly to continue. I have nothing against the "mudshow" type of wrestling, and he's clearly built a career on it, even though it isn't really for me. Certainly his career potential has peaked however."
[7.0] "Joey Janela is back to being who he should be - a globe-trotting indy sleazeball dabbling in all styles of the sport. In 2022 alone he's been doing his thing in the US, Canada, Japan, South Korea, Belgium, and Australia, had plenty of matches with established, high-level workers, done some deathmatches, been a part of some strange and goofy stuff, maintains a presence on social media + the microphone, and is a competent promoter. Weekly US TV is a a cage for Joey, he doesn't belong there. He's a weird wild animal who needs to roam."
[2.0] "Not very good. His character only works when doing dumb over the top stunts and nobody would ever talk about him if not for those dumb stunts. He is just an attention seeker and not a good pro wrestler."
"His time in AEW and his teaming with Sonny Kiss left much to be desired, but he's not a horrible wrestler. I just don't think AEW was the right company for him. In fact, I don't think any major company is. Janela should just stay on the indies, where he should be. It's not that he doesn't deserve to be in the major companies. They just don't suit him."
[6.0] "Joey Janela ist ein guter Worker mit vorhandenen Charisma. Gutes Mic-Work, wirkt jedoch leider durch seine Statur oftmals ein bisschen "Fehl am Platz" für den Casual Zuschauer. Aus den genannten Gründen hat Janela nie wirklich gut bei AEW funktioniert, und ist wohl nun in den Indies besser aufgehoben. Potenzial: Indy World Champion - Indy Main Event"
"I think the sheer number of haters in the comments should speak for itself: the guy is charismatic, magnetic and draws so much heat. Truly one of the under-appreciated wrestlers of our time. People saying no psychology can't be paying attention. Janela rules!"
[1.0] "Joey Janela is an awful, awful wrestler. No psychology, no storytelling. Covers up his lack of wrestling ability with ridiculous hardcore matches in Garbage Championship Wrestling or whatever it's called. No charisma or promo ability. Terrible, terrible look. I don't care about body shape but you could at least try to look like less of a bum. Underneath that terrible beard and long greasy hair looks like a decent enough guy. One of the low points of AEW's beginnings. Just a terrible wrestler all around."
[2.0] "(Revised rating): Used to like Janela. If he spent more time on working on his craft instead of goofing off in the ring then maybe he'd be making more money in the industry. Decent wrestler on his day, though."
"Actual joke for a professional wrestler. His wrestling skills are mediocre at best with little to any wrestling psychology. overall Joey Janela is one of the worst wrestlers ever. I question why AEW even decided to hire someone so garbage like Janela."
[10.0] "People have been claiming that Joey's time is up - When in reality he only returned to what he cares about most. His return to the indie scene has been nothing short of a continuous success. Constantly putting over rising stars, finally getting legit with his physique, and sticking to his "promotional foundation" is creating a combination that shows firsthand Joey has bought back into HIS brand. Controversial-sure, but go talk to the guy... Nice as shit. I make sure I get to any promotion when I see Joey on card now... he's only been getting better."
[2.0] "Without a shadow of a doubt, Joey Janela is one of my least favorite wrestlers to watch on the planet. His brand of entertainment is so far away from what I enjoy that I find it a chore to ever watch him."
[5.0] "Bei AEW kann ich mit dem Kerl wirklich rein gar nichts anfangen. Ja, er hatte ein paar gute Hardcore Matches, mit Moxley und Omega und vl. noch das Cracker Barrel Match. Das kann er, dort hilft ihm einfach seine Wackyness. Und ein bisschen abstruses Charisma ist ihm ja auch nicht abzusprechen. Aber Abseits der Basics passiert bei ihm im Ring wirklich rein gar nichts Interessantes, mit dem richtigen Gegner kann er aber zugegeben durchaus ein solides Match worken. Seine Darstellung nervt einfach unfassbar und auch seine Promos sind meistens unglaublich mies, auch wenn es ein zwei Ausreißer nach oben gab, die waren aber gut produziert und pretaped. Dazu kommt oben drauf, dass er auch wirklich nicht im geringsten wie ein Wrestler aussieht, höchstens wie ein Kerl, der gerne einer wäre. Physis steht bei mir definitiv nicht an erster Stelle, aber Janela macht auch hier rein gar nichts her. Im Indie Bereich wäre er ganz gut aufgehoben, vor allem in verrückten Hardcore Matches, da kann er durchaus glänzen, bei AEW brauch und will ich ihn nicht haben. EDIT: Ist rauß aus AEW, zum Glück. Im Indie Bereich finde ich ihn dann doch deutlich besser. Da gehört er hin, und das meine ich nicht abwertend. Dazu waren seine letzten Matches bei AEW Dark überraschend ordentlich"
[0.0] "Single. Worst. Performer. In. AEW. First and probably only zero I will give on this site. Why' Because Janela is the biggest joke of a wrestler wrestling has seen in years. Horrid physique, awful look, fake as hell character, more like a coward if anything, and his in-ring skills are the worst. There's a reason you see him and Sonny Kiss pretty much exclusively on Dark, even AEW is ashamed that they hired these goofs. Things like him vs the invisible man or stan or whatever are the reasons why no outsiders to pro wrestling are willing to give it a try. Wasn't professionally trained and this numbnut thinks it's something to boast about. Buddy, you CAN'T wrestle. Stick to debating trolls on Twitter and wrestling in GCW, because it'll mean I will see less of you on my screen."
[6.0] "My AEW guilty pleasure. Every match of his looks like a car wreck, fun to watch but it's a bad, bad match. Nonetheless, he has many, many flaws, and he's suitable for the indies, not AEW. Sometimes way over the top, some of his stuff looks way too fake. The aesthetics of him are great though."
"He really doesn't fit in the big leagues, he's a lazy wrestler as it seems and you can't really believe he was a main event in the start, I don't know if he is lazy or moody or he can't come up with something good enough."
[5.0] "I am not really sure he fits in a company like AEW where his unique creativity struggles to find the space to flourish. His spring break shows are usually fun, I doubt he will be in AEW after his contract finishes and he will be back in GCW having far more fun."
[10.0] "The guy scrapped and clawed from the bottom and now has a show named after and produced by him that is now the most attended non-WWE event of WrestleMania weekend. He can wrestle with the best of them anyway, but his vision, creativity, and ability to get people to talk about him (look at how polarizing he is here) shows that he gets professional wrestling much better than the people who continuously slag him."
[9.0] "I see many users saying that his skills are mediocre, nothing offensive but nothing impressive at the same time. I would definitely rate his in rim skills as over average, he might not be the perfect technical wrestler or an astonishingly agile high flyer, but he is a risk taker and a moment maker. Plus he has a great and creative mind for this business, as another comment mentions. His promos and presence are a rarity."
[10.0] "Joey Janela is the king. You can see all the hate for him here alone, but that's simply because people don't get that when you're with Joey. you're with him 110%. The guy didn't organically build THE WrestleMania weekend show that at this point would outdraw IMPACT or ROH because he sucks; he got to the big leagues because he's got one of the most creative minds in the business. Bad Boy For Life"
[5.0] "I get it, but at the same time I don't think I have ever really enjoyed a Joey Janela match in full. He's not as menacing as Nick Gage, he's not as psycho as Jimmy Havoc, he's not as charismatic as Sandman or New Jack, and he's not as polished as (fully prime) Sabu or Super Dragon."
[3.0] "Never enjoyed Janela on the indies and he's been a major disappointment whenever on screen in AEW, takes away from Sonny Kiss whenever they tag and he's put on nothing but mediocre singles contests for over a year."
[5.0] "Joey is nothing special, but he's not terrible. He's kind of average at everything, maybe a bit below. But he's also not terrible at anything, so he has that going for him. He has surprisingly wholesome chemistry with Sonny Kiss, and their tag team has made them both fairly entertaining to watch. I wouldn't pay to see him specifically, but I also wouldn't fast forward his matches."
[7.0] "Joey Janela hasn't done a bad job in AEW. He's a solid wrestler and has entertaining car crash matches. Cuts a solid promo. He doesn't look like a star, but he's a likeable everyman sorta person. He reminds me of a lot of ECW wrestlers, where their flaws could be overlooked because of how hard they worked to entertain, even without an amazing physique On another note, the fact that someone ranked him low because he didn't get into a fist fight with Enzo Amore is pathetic."
[1.0] "I have no idea why JJ has a job with the second biggest wrestling company in the US. Everything about his look is terrible I dont think it would harm him to visit a gym once in a while. His garbage style of wrestling is suited to his backyard."
[0.0] "how the hell are you gonna be a "bad boy" when you walk away from a fight with enzo amore? joey janella is a poser and a chump. jinder mahal has more skill in his pinky than this loser has in his whole body. he's a joke and a disgrace to pro wrestling."
[3.0] "Joey Janela spaltet die User hier ganz ordentlich. Seinen Hardcore Kram gabe ich nicht gesehen, sodass ich nur den AEW Run bewerten kann. Leider ist da im Ring wenig Offense und auch nicht sonderlich Defense zu sehen. Natürliches Charisma ist sicherlich vorhanden; die Arbeit am Mic ist aber einfach schlecht. Tut mir leid Joey, da muss in vielen Bereichen viel mehr kommen!"
[9.0] "Ich finde den Bad Boy einfach großartig. Er hat ein tolles Charisma, seine 80er Jahre Entrance-Music löst nostalgische Gefühle in mir aus und sein Wrestling-Stil ist für mich eine Mischung aus Backyard-Wrestling und etwas, was man in den 90er Jahren in WWF, WCW und auch ECW gesehen hat. Bei der AEW scheint er jetzt im Tag Team mit Sonny Kiss auch endlich angekommen zu sein."
[2.0] "i give every new wrestler i come across a chance but i dont understand Janela. has no build, no height, no technical ability and isnt very good on the mic. The reason i am giving him a 2 and not a 1 is because he is brave and will jump off high things but that dosnt make you a wrestler. Not everyone who AEW signed was going to turn out well."
[2.0] "Zwei Punkte bekommt er für seine Risikofreude und seinem Einsatzwillen. Aber ansonsten gibt es rein gar nichts, was ich an Joey Janela reizvoll finde. Eher bekomme ich das kalte Kotzen wenn ich sehen muss, wie größere, stärkere und schlicht fähigere Worker seine "Offensive" verkaufen müssen und er trotz seines bierbäuchigen Spargeltarzan-Looks auf der selben Augenhöhe wie ein Jon Moxley oder Kenny Omega dargestellt wird. Bootleg-Backyard-Jericho? (credit to: Excellence Of Execution)..... kann man so sagen. Klar braucht jedes Roster einen Prügelknaben der bereits ist krankeste Bumps auf sich zu nehmen, aber selbst da muss es definitiv bessere und besser aussehende geben als Mr. Janela."
[3.0] "Janela isn't as bad a worker as some make him out to be but what skills he has are pretty minor league for a guy who's been on AEW regularly. His character work and promos are similarly underwhelming. I don't wish Janela any ill in his personal life, but in terms of quality tv, I'm glad Penelope Ford is working with Kip Sabian, a more talented performer and better character fit for Ford than Janela ever was."
[3.0] "Hat wenig bis kein Wissen darüber, wie man im Ring arbeitet und wie man sich als Wrestler präsentiert, abseits von Aneinanderreihungen von High Spots, um billige Pops zu bekommen. Kein Charisma, keine Ausstrahlung, sehr schlecht am Mikrofon."
[5.0] "Spotwork is fine and all, but Janela's lack of actual wrestling knowledge or skill and his look means he's not going to be in any major position. Usually has to rely on hardcore wrestling to get himself over, through he is admittedly quite solid on the mic, so credit to him. I doubt he could be anything beyond mid card, through."
[4.0] "Pretty much the modern day equivalent of an ECW trash brawler. Not good at wrestling but manages to get over by putting himself in some frankly stupidly risky situations."
[1.0] "Definetly one of the worst internet darlings these days, his matches really lack on any storytelling or psychology as they always end up being really boring and repetitive spotfests and his lack of training gets him even more exposed, honestly i have no clue how he gets so over. At least gets a 1 because when paired with an actual good wrestler he can kinda deliver something half decent."
[2.0] "He's only popular because he let Zandig jump off a roof while holding him. He bragged about having no wrestling training on Steve Austin's podcast (and it shows). It makes me sad that a guy like Tony Khan is intent on pushing someone like this. Time will tell if people will continue to buy the bullshit as AEW progresses. As for now, I suggest this joker buy a set of dumbbells & get his pudgy ass in a gym."
"Ich habe definitiv zu wenig von ihm gesehen, um ihn bewerten zu wollen: Aber bis jetzt bin ich wenig angetan. Für mich wirkt der Typ wie ein Backyarder, wie der er auch nach rund 12 Jahren im Business immer noch aussieht. Eine Bereitschaft, seine dürren Arsch irgendwo runterrauschen zu lassen, macht noch keinen Wrestler. Schon gar keinen guten."
"What a boring internet darling. Nothing about this guy is entertaining. He looks like a jobber and a curtain jerker. He will wrestle in the minor leagues for his entire career and nobody would give a damn about him"
[6.0] "Joey Janela is the modern version of Sabu: he's not a great wrestler by any stretch of imagination, but he's completely unafraid to try and execute absolutely insane stuff. And very much like Sabu this willingness to perform crazy and dangerous stunts has led some people to consider him worse than he actually is and many others to consider him way better than he really is. In reality Joey Janela has standard skills for somebody who spent over a decade in semi-obscurity before becoming an indie sensation: how much of this is due to Janela's hard work and how much to increasingly frequent talent raids by a certain well-known promotion cascading through the wrestling world is open to debate. How much AEW will allow Joey Janela to showcase his utter fearlessness of trying insane moves is an interesting question, but a question that may be answered in the near future."
[5.0] "Another internet darling. As a promoter you have to give him a lot of credit for what he has done, but as a wrestler, being benevolent, he is average. Zero psychology in the ring, makes many moves but usually these have no purpose in the match and his comedy tends to be excessive. At least he is charismatic."
[10.0] "He is the Bad Boy of wreslting. Great wrestler. He is a hardcore brawler and a daredevil jumping off ladders and buildings. The match with John Zanzig was crazy but true hardcore style. His style is fast and exciting to watch. He needs to be in WWE or Impact. It would be cool if he was in Japan or Mexico and get international experience. His girlfriend Penelope Ford is great as well and exciting to watch them together. This guy is non-censored which is great. He is a legend in CZW."
[8.0] "Joey Janela isn't just a deathmatch or hardcore wrestler; given the opportunity, he can go in the ring. He's building his brand on his own and getting his name out there. In just under 2 years, he's become a hot commodity on the independent circuit with his DIY ethic, his performances, and will. However, his willingness to do crazy and dangerous things in the ring doesn't make for long careers and he doesn't have the "look" that larger territories look for, despite his overall talent."
[9.0] "Joey is great in ring, and is willing to put his body on the line to put on entertaining matches. The fact he took the roof bump at TOS with Zandig for himself says lots about him as a person and how passionate he is. The bump doesn't define his career because of how many great things he has gone on to do after. He is great out of ring too, shooting some decent promos and entertaining with his character. Plus he makes a great team with Penelope Ford."
[7.0] "Great character, amazing promoter, awesome charisma and is amazing to watch live. His wrestling isn't great and he's for goddamn sure a spotmonkey but he has his niche. I appreciate that. Man is a self made star"
[4.0] "I still don't understand what was so great about Joey Janela. He is a very average wrestler at best on the indies now. He has cool look and cool character but he tends to overkill his comedy stuff which ruined his matches to me. The live crowd may love it but it is not transferred well when i watch through my computer. Most of his pwg matches proved that point. Even aside from that, his in ring performance is not anything special. Just moves after moves without any storytelling or psychology. Overall, i couldn't call him a good wrestler."
[7.0] "I completely respect Joey's promoting skills and charisma, but beyond that he's a pretty average wrestler. He knows how to do movez and has excellent banter with the crowd, but actually structuring a match and psychology is something he lacks at. I also think he is quite a dangerous worker from the matches I have seen of his. Credit to him for doing lots of deathmatches too even if sometimes they aren't that good."
[4.0] "Without a doubt my least favourite indy wrestler. He's technically average but I think the worst part of him is his "character". I hate his character because he seems to try so hard to have a heel character, an alternative character but it doesn't seems natural at all, he's way too forced when he moves and when he "acts". Another thing I hate about him it's that his matches are maddeningly slow, I understand that he wants to have an old school setting, but it's way too boring"
[7.0] "Joey Janela ist ein sehr interessanter Mann weil völlig anders als die meisten. Damit kommen wir auch zu seiner größten Stärke: Seinem Charisma. Hat sich mit dem Bad Boy einen eigenen Charakter erschaffen, der Reaktionen als Face und als Heel ziehen kann. Allerdings ist es manchmal so, dass es zu over the top ist für ein Gimmick, was sich dann manchmal zu ernst nimmt, deswegen 8 Punkte dafür. Im Ring liegen Genie und Wahnsinn bei Janela nah beieinander. Er kann wirklich gute Matches worken mit seiner Athletik, Härte und Furchtlosigkeit. Manchmal kann es aber auch sehr spotty und botchy werden. Er ist was das angeht ein bisschen mit Sasha Banks vergleichbar, allerdings mit Höhen auf niedrigerem Niveau. 6 Punkte dafür. Am Mic gut und intensiv aber auch hier manchmal etwas sehr überdreht aber dennoch unterhaltsam und daher 7 Punkte. Insgesamt 7 Punkte für den Bad Boy."
[8.0] "Interessante Entwicklung von ihm. Als Starman unfassbar schlecht und nervig vielleicht lag es auch an der Maske aber als The Bad Boy Joey Janela richtig gut. Er ist schon unterhaltsam und gut im Ring. Bin schon überrascht wie begehrt er wurde. Edit 06. 04. 2018 Von 7 auf 8 Punkte rauf viele Matches haben es mir gezeigt. Manchmal echt etwas unsauber im Ring und nicht alles ist immer in Ordnung was er macht doch sonst richtig stark."
[6.0] "Zu Joey Janela, weiß nicht recht wie und ob ich ihn bewerten kann, er ist kein schlechter Wrestler, scheint aber ein Jerk in real life zu sein, das ist aber nicht mein problem mit ihm, sondern auch im Ring okay, mehr aber auch nicht."
[2.0] "Für jemanden mit 10 Jahren Erfahrung ist Janela in meinen Augen wirklich erstaunlich schlecht. Unsauber, wirkt extrem planlos und überfordert, sobald es um Highspots geht. Sollte man meinen, dass jemand mit diesem Look zumindest gute Comebacks hinbekommen würde, so kann man durchaus enttäuscht werden."
"Why doesn't this guy have a perfect 10/10 rating? ! He is the most entertaining guy in the ring, whether it is his stand up comedy or his wrestling skill. He isn't a death match guy, but sure as hell fights like one of the guys. He puts his heart, soul, and everything into one match alone, and I really hope that he goes to bigger, way bigger places. I see him all the time because I am in the area he always wrestles in. I want to see him in the big leagues soon. I can see a really bright future for him. Hopefully, his talent is never fucker over, though."
[10.0] "A great jersey native wrestler who deserves so much more than what e's been given. In CZW he is a multi time wired champion and deserves it all. Joey Janela is one of the most underrated workers on the east coast."
[7.0] "Charismatischer Wrestler, leicht Psycho aber ich mag so etwas. Gute Moves crazy am Mic. Habe ihn bisher nur bei CZW gesehen. Steht in der Liste auf ihn sollte man in den Jahren mal schauen."
[6.0] "Charismatischer Kerl mit soliden Fähigkeiten im Geviert. Joey Janela ist mir vor zwei Jahren aufgefallen als ich etwas recherchiert habe, völlig zufällig eben. Am Körper könnte er vielleicht noch was arbeiten, aber ansonsten hat er in den zwei Jahren gute Schritte gemacht und ist nun auch in der Combat Zone in aller Munde. Positiv ebenso: Er kann sogar Hardcore Kämpfe gehen. Warum es erstmal sechs Punkte gibt? Weil ich auf seine weitere Entwicklung mega gespannt bin. @Cagematch Team: Mittlerweile ist sein Spitzname "Bad Boy", kann man ja mal aktualisieren"
