10 Wrestlers That Seriously Took The Piss
4. Joey Janela
A contemporary classic of the piss-taking genre in that a contemporary performer bludgeoned one of the classics with a simple gesture, Joey Janela's disgusted disregarding of a tennis racket during his All Out 2019 brawl with Jimmy Havoc and Darby Allin was an important line in the sand to draw between himself and outspoken critic Jim Cornette.
The two can't and won't ever agree on how wrestling should look and feel in 2020, and this stunt show on All Elite Wrestling's last pay-per-view before Janela became a weekly networking television wrestler was the perfect place for the 'Bad Boy' to bat back much of the grief he'd taken from the 'Prince Of Polyester'.
Or not, because he tossed the thing to one side with disdain having found it under the ring while poking around for more effective plunder. A simple but evocative gesture that went down a storm with the live crowd and remains a key checkpoint from Janela's early ascendency in the company, the 'Louisville Lip' got served from a young and hungry wrestler that didn't need new balls please. It was ace.
