Joey Janela believes that he's the best carry job wrestler of all time.
Throughout his career, Janela has made a name for himself by often wrestling legends or older names that want to wind down their career. Over the years, Janela has squared off with names like Psycho Clown, Tank, Ernest Miller, X-Pac, Scott 2 Hotty, Marty Jannetty, and Ricky Morton.
Now, ahead of his match with Sabu at Spring Break 9, Joey Janela recently spoke with Fightful Overbooked for an interview and explained why he's the best carry job wrestler of all time.
"I wrestled Marty Jannetty with deformed ankles, he could barely walk. I did that twice. I wrestled Barry Horowitz, who needs two knee replacement surgeries and he can’t bend his knees, so he moves like a real life action figure. People always say Bret Hart is the greatest carry job wrestler of all time. I can say, right now, with all the confidence in my heart, if you think I’m joking or making up some bullshit, I am the greatest carry job wrestler of all-time. Even better than Bret Hart. I love Bret Hart, one of the greatest wrestlers of all time. He’s a better wrestler than I’ll ever be, but as far as carrying other wrestlers through matches, I am the best carry job wrestler of all time.Tom Magee was a great carry job, he made that guy look like the next Sting, but I wrestled Barry Horowitz for 30 minutes. I never did magic mushrooms before, but I was drunk the night before. We were at the bar, my friends girlfriend is a bartender, so whenever the bar would close, we’d stay there for 4 or 5 AM and keep drinking for free. The other bartender had magic mushrooms and I said, ‘give me that’ I took a handful of them and ate them. I went back to my friends house and I was feeling good. ‘This isn’t too bad.’ I watched ‘The Wrestler’ and stayed up all night. Went right to the building, still high on magic mushrooms, and wrestled Barry Horowitz, dealing with the side effects of that. I carried him to a 30 minute match. Bret Hart could never."
Elsewhere in the interview, Janela revealed that Sabu wants their match to be the greatest match of all time. Check out his full comments by clicking here.
