No longer content to be solely an announcer, Joey Styles now steps out from behind the announcer's table to produce his own vision of anti-sports entertainment pro wrestling that can only be described as EXTREMELY HARDCORE!
“We are proud of the talent put together for our inaugural show,” said Styles, “These skilled and determined champions will have the wrestling fans watching on the edge of their seats throughout the program, so you don’t want to miss this pay per view spectacular.
“All of the matches on JOEY STYLES’ EXTREMELY HARDCORE will give extreme wrestling fans the chance to experience the unique and over the top environment that was the signature of this genre when it was invented in the early nineties,” added Styles. “The group assembled will both demonstrate the wrestling skills and the violence of extreme wrestling.”

Joey Styles was the only play-by-play announcer for the now defunct, ECW (EXTREME CHAMPIONSHIP WRESTLING) for its entire revolutionary existence from 1993 through 2001 on syndicated television, TNN (now Spike TV) and pay-per-view television.
The name Joey Styles is synonymous with hardcore, over-the-top and the true insanity of professional wrestling.
Styles made pay-per-view television history and professional wrestling history in 1997 when he became the only play-by-play announcer ever to host a live wrestling, boxing or mixed martial arts pay-per-view event alone, with no color commentator. He went on to host live pay-per-view events solo for many years.
Now, Joey’s back, and the crowd is on its feet chanting his name, “JOEY, JOEY, JOEY!”
