At All In back in September, Joey Janela and his then girlfriend, Penelope Ford, gave a memorable performance in his match against Adam “Hangman” Page.
The New Jersey native’s stock was rising on the independent scene until he suffered a
devastating knee injury that would take him out of action for the rest of the year. "The Bad Boy” went onto Twitter and posted a reflection on this past year, which also reveals that he is no longer with the “The Bad Girl” Penelope Ford.
“I wish I had a camera crew follow me around for the last four months,” wrote Janela.
” You couldn’t write my life, ups and downs galore. Went from wrestling on the most talked about pay-per-view of the year to completely blowing out my knee in less than two weeks.”
The knee injury wasn’t the only blow as his personal life also took a hit.
“Major knee surgery at the end of October caused me to miss my own show in Los Angeles (I watched it from my friend’s basement) [and] on top of all of that my real-life relationship with Penelope Ford ended.”
However, the “Bad Boy” isn’t down and out by any means.
“I just wanna thank the fans for being with me these past few months, all the love and support has mentally and financially supported me through these times.” He went on to state that he’ll “give everyone the greatest wrestling comeback story of all-time.”
