Joey Styles is as much an ECW Original as The Sandman or Tommy Dreamer. Styles was indeed the true voice of ECW and the face behind the iconic "OH MY GAWD!" quote.
When WWE acquired ECW, Styles took a small break from the wacky world of professional wrestling, a sabbatical if you will. However, in 2005, Joey would return to the company. Despite being highly respected by many within the industry, Vince McMahon was never a huge fan of Styles’....style. In fact, there's been a long-standing rumor that Styles was passed up for several jobs, including lead commentator for RAW. The reason behind it was that Vince wasn't a fan of Styles' pure play-by-play delivery. Instead, McMahon would opt for the strong storyteller types, such as WWE Hall Of Famer Jim Ross and others along those lines.
Regardless of his length of tenure, Joey Styles was a great addition to the WWE broadcast team. Today, Joey remains employed with WWE, serving as the Vice President of Digital Media Content.

Jonathan Carpenter is a pro wrestling journalist at Sportskeeda. After obtaining a degree in political science from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, he started writing WWE articles in 2016. Jonathan believes integrity is vital in journalism and ensures his work is high on accuracy. He conducts in-depth research and verifies information from various sources before curating a feature.
Jonathan has engaged in many meaningful conversations with prominent pro wrestling personalities like Drew McIntyre and DDP. He grew up in Memphis, admiring Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan during WWE’s Golden Era in the ‘80s. He has attended many pro wrestling events and credits The Hulkster for making his childhood memorable.
Jonathan, a big fan of Bray Wyatt, would like to see the latter's brother, Bo Dallas, continue his legacy as Uncle Howdy. If he were to work on the storyline, Jonathan would book the return of Erick Rowan as Howdy’s muscle. He thinks it would be a great way to honor the former Universal Champion.
When not writing pro wrestling features, Jonathan likes to collect sports memorabilia and has amassed a large collection of event-used and autographed relics over the years.
