I've heard about Joey Janela for a while now but haven't seen him. What's his gimmick? What are some good starter promos/matches to get the gist of him?

the only thing i remember about joey janela from the only joey janela match i've ever seen is he did a flip bump onto his head on the apron to sell having his ankle grabbed and pulled

joey janela was ryan gosling in drive but sometime over the last year transitioned into being the guy from drive that calls out old wrestlers for crazy dream matches and makes them do a canadian destroyer

I complete me.
My experience of Joey Janela was that I saw the trailers for the Spring Break and thought 'THIS IS GOING TO BE A SLICKED HAIR COOL MOTHERFUCKER' and instead he came out like a roadie from Phish. which is fair enough actually, he was fun and did good match things, but he needs to update his poster image.

according to the NWA interviews, he only responds to his shoot name when he's teaching but cuts promos on the class. I don't think he's a very good teacher.

no, dropping the belt at this point would kill little credibility the NWA title has left. Get some promoted, hyped defenses with Tim Storm then drop to the next guy. The big challenge is getting eyes on the product and they're working towards that.

NWA has no credibility since a 53-year old history teacher who wrestles bad matches is their champion.

He would wrestle better matches if he was booked with people that could actually work. I'm looking at his cagematch stuff and the big names he's worked are:

Charlie Haas(*fart noises*)
Angelus Layne (great brawler but not really someone who can carry someone bigger/heavier than her)
Big Daddy Yum Yum (phashahahahahaha)
Moose

No wonder he loving sucks.

I feel like you could get a pretty decent face run if you leaned into this honestly

Tim Storm can be like "yeah I am old, yeah I am a teacher to pay the bills, but this is still the same belt Ric Flair and Harley Race and Dusty Rhodes had, and if you think I don't deserve it come take it"

It feels a little like what they are doing, but being honest about Storm's weaknesses could do a lot to make him more appealing imho

he's bad and old and has bad matches on account of him being bad and old at his job which is professional wrestler.

I really liked this promo. I think the censoring of the swearing adds to it in some weird way. Like some indie guy getting all his f-words in is nothing special but it feels more like he's lost his cool in what's supposed to be a professional environment or something.

E: actually you know what it reminds me of, one of those loving weirdos who call into talk radio shows and completely lose their cool, and I think that's the kind of thing this character would do so it works for me.

just have him Homer Simpson his way through matches until people solidly split on whether its endearing or annoying. Then put the title on better drawing champ. Needs to be a huge deal. A flat title change does no one any favors.
