Joey Janela, a well-known professional wrestler, has experienced many highs and lows throughout his career. He has been victorious in some of the most grueling matches and has suffered defeat in others. However, one of his most memorable moments came in the form of a close call with the law, where he almost faced charges for murder.
On the occasion of Cinco de Mayo, a day celebrated by many, Joey Janela took to Twitter to share a few tweets that recounted the harrowing incident that occurred ten years prior. He revealed that someone had been murdered next to his car outside an indie wrestling show a decade ago, and because he had been eager to retrieve his vehicle, the police had suspected him of the killing.
Janela’s tweets shed light on the events that unfolded after the murder took place. He had been stuck in Scranton, Pennsylvania, for days, and his predicament had been exacerbated by the fact that it coincided with the last episode of “The Office,” which was being celebrated in Scranton at the time. Adding insult to injury, Janela’s job as a pizza delivery boy had almost been jeopardized as a result of the incident.
Despite the gravity of the situation, Joey Janela’s tweets exuded humor and resilience. His fans responded with funny remarks, but they were all relieved that he had managed to avoid a potentially life-altering outcome.
Probably one of the most insane wrestling stories of all time…
