Early life

Joseph Janela was born and raised in Hazlet, New Jersey. Janela grew up a fan of deathmatches and the extreme wrestling style that was popularized by Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW), Combat Zone Wrestling, and the multiple other promotions that sprung up once ECW closed. According to an ESPN interview, a young Janela became enthralled with the "high-risk, high-reward style of matches" presented in hardcore wrestling. [3] Starting at age 15, Janela began lying to professional wrestling promoters in order to start wrestling, telling them that he was of legal wrestling age and fully formally trained, which he would later admit in interviews that he was not. [3]

Professional wrestling career

Independent circuit (2006–present)

Janela made his professional wrestling debut at a 2006 National Wrestling Superstars (NWS) show where he lost in a Triple Threat match against JD Smooth and Corey Havoc. [4] He would continue to work primarily for NWS until 2012 when he started to expand into other promotions. On March 17, 2012, World Xtreme Wrestling, a promotion ran by the Wild Samoans, booked him in a match against Brandon Scott, which Janela lost. [5] Also in 2012, Janela started portraying the masked Starman character for Pro Wrestling Syndicate.

[8] On the last day of the tournament, Janela would defeat Jimmy Havoc in a non-tournament death match. [9] Around this time, Janela also began wrestling for Major League Wrestling, Beyond Wrestling, DEFY Wrestling, Smash Wrestling, AAW Wrestling, and Chikara.

In September 2018, Janela suffered an injury during a match against Psicosis at a Game Changer Wrestling (GCW) event. Janela stated that MRI results showed that he suffered a complete or near complete PCL tear, a complete tear of the MCL distally, and a ACL sprain, among numerous other injuries.
