Joey Janela is one of the top independent wrestlers on the scene and is known for taking risks in matches and willingness to put his body on the line.
Dana White recently stated that indie wrestlers are jumping off ladders and going through tables with tacks for $50 when they could be making serious money at Power Slap.
Janela said he was contacted by Power Slap, but turned them down.
“Nothing against anyone doing the powerslap deal props to you but they hit me up and asked me if I wanted to do it, & I said fuck no.
“Was the money good yes, was the money good enough to give someone a free shot at jaw, The Embarrassment & CTE deluxe? Fuck no, I’ll take the $50 to launch myself off a ladder through the thumbtack table any day of the week…”
Sinn Bodhi (Kizarny in WWE) is a booker for Power Slap.
Wrestlers such as Juicy Finau, Stunt Marshall, Mazzerti, Facade, HollyHood Haley J, Alice Crowley were part of a pro wrestling Power Slap special.
One of TKO’s ventures. Think an arm wrestling kinda set up, except instead of locking hands and arm wrestling you wind back and whollop the motherfucker across their cheek as hard as you physically can.
Funny as shit to watch, but a horrible activity. Straight up concussion shit. All brought to us by Dana “I slap my wife around in public on video” White.

I actually think it’s Dana White and prior UFC owners the Frititta brothers branching out rather than TKO, but other than that you’re very much on the money.
