Joey Janela has become tight with Paul London.
The Bad Boy recently spoke with Fightful about London, who made his return at a recent Game Changer Wrestling event. Janela, who got to compete against London, says he wants to help the former WWE star resurge his career as he was a trendsetter for a previous generation. Highlights from the interview can be found below.
Says he bonded with Paul London after the two worked together in GCW:
I got Paul London a little wild for that match, in the back. Paul London is the man. It’s the first time I’ve ever met him, honestly. We share the same fan chant of ‘please don’t die.’ We have that connection and we clicked. Now, me and Paul London are [tight]. I’m trying to get Paul London to do another run. He said he was ready.
Says he wants to get London more work in the industry:
I said I would help him out, whatever he needs. I’ll let promoters know that he’s ready to go. I’ll definitely help him out, for sure. He’s a good guy. I had the Best of Paul London on DVD in high school. He was a trendsetter and somebody that was an unlikely guy to get to WWE. He was one of the guys that started that trend of getting guys hired from independent wrestling and seeing how they fared on a bigger and national stage.
Wants to help London become great again:
He was bumping his ass off. He didn’t want to dive, I forced him to dive. I said, ‘you have to dive. I’ll catch you if it ends my own life.’ I convinced him to dive. He said, ‘you’re trying to expose me.’ ‘No, I’m trying to make Paul London great again.’ I’m gonna get the hat made, ‘Make Paul London Great Again 2023.’
