Joey Janela Says He Turned Down Offer To Be On Power Slap

Joey Janela says that he had an offer to be on Power Slap and gave an emphatic refusal of the opportunity. Dana White recently said that independent talent should join Power Slap instead of trying for WWE or AEW, noting that they can make more money. Janela posted to Twitter to respond to a clip of the interview noting that he was offered a chance to be with the company and said no (with emphasis).

Was the money good yes, was the money good enough to give someone a free shot at jaw, The Embarrassment & CTE deluxe? F**k no, I’ll take the $50 to launch myself off a ladder through the thumbtack table any day of the week..”
