Joey Janela is set to compete in the JCW Jersey J-Cup, which takes place on February 15th and February 16th.
He will take on Atticus Cogar in the first round, continuing their rivalry from GCW and Cogar attacking Janela and Megan Bayne.
Appearing on In The Weeds with Jeremy Lambert & Joel Pearl, Janela previewed the bout.
"Atticus Cogar has just come back to the company. He’s trying to regain the trust of the locker room but he’s doing it in a sleazy way. I don’t think he really cares. He left a few years ago, followed Rickey Shane Page out of the company, and eventually realized if he kept following the path Rickey Shane Page was on, he would become quite irrelevant like Rickey. He had to come back to GCW to regain his relevance.
"There are no weapons in this tournament. It’s the J-Cup. There are rules to this shit. The last three years, he spent his time wrestling in dirt pits and chain rope rings and hepatitis-covered canvases all over the United States. He got away with smash and bash wrestling. You pick something up, you smash them in the head, there is no technical wrestling aspect to that. He’d pull out the skewers, get a cheap pop. Now, he’s gonna have to learn how to wrestle. There’s no smash and bash here, especially Joey Janela. People pigeonhole me, people who haven’t been paying attention, saying I’m a hardcore wrestler, but I do hardcore just as well as I do technical, high-flying, or comedy stuff. I’m a little bit of everything."
