Professional wrestling is all about having big stars who are known outside the ring. Lately, people from outside wrestling, like The Costco Guys, have become popular in the industry. In fact, Joey Janela even claimed that The Costco Guys are more popular than Roman Reigns among casual fans.
Joey Janela took to Twitter recently and shared his thoughts on wrestling fans criticizing the Costco Guys, pointing out that they are more popular and recognized than most professional wrestlers due to their silly internet videos, despite never performing moves like a Canadian Destroyer.
Joey Janela then followed up with another tweet, claiming that if Roman Reigns and The Boom Crew were placed in Washington Square Park, and regular people had to choose between them for a photo, most would pick the Costco Guys. Janela then stated that Tony Khan should book MJF versus Big Boom AJ for AEWs HBO Max debut, predicting it would skyrocket ratings.
There is no doubt that the Costco Guys are a huge deal on social media right now and they have made many media appearances over the past several months and Tony Khan never fails to use them as much as possible.
The Costco Guys are reaching a huge audience beyond the usual wrestling fanbase, showing that in the internet age, fame doesnt always depend on being in the wrestling ring but many fans might disagree with Joey Janelas remarks no matter what.
