In a series of tweets, Joey Janela responded to his critics and talked about his work ethic.

I absolutely give 0 fucks what people think of me, my friends & family have been watching me for half my life (legitimately) try to accomplish my dreams & in Oct they will get to see me on tv.. I’ve been through so much shit in my life, someone calling me Jelly won’t offend me..

But what does offend me is someone saying that I’m a shitty wrestler from word of mouth, anyone that has watched my work over the years knows that’s completely false. I 100% could’ve taken 0 risks over the last 3 years & would’ve found a way to get myself to the position I am now

I suffered a bad knee injury in September & came back 3-4 months early, wrestled a heavier schedule & wrestled at a higher caliber right off the bat with 0 in ring practice before my 1st match back. Wrestling Flawless 30 min-one hour matches with constant attention & appreciation

Shortly after All Elite Wrestling announced the signing of Orange Cassidy, David Bixenspan of Deadspin profiled the controversial wrestler. “The signing might work or it might not, but Orange Cassidy isn’t just a stunt performer,” wrote Bixenspan.
