During a recent episode of his radio show Carton and Roberts (via Wrestling Inc), radio personality Craig Carton claimed he was offered a job to announce for ECW, where he would go by the named Joey Styles. The man that was hired to be Styles, Joseph Bonsignore, was hired in 1993.
Carton claims:
âI was once offered a job in wrestling when I worked in Philly. I donât even know the name of the company (at the time). It was in the mid 90s. I was going to be Joey Styles, I was on the WIP Radio in Philadelphia, someone came to me from ECW and said, âweâd love you to be our ringside announcer, and youâre gonna go by the name Joey Styles.â My schedule didnât allow it or something. I donât remember being against it, because I wasnât making much money. I donât remember why I didnât take up the job. But I was going to be Joey Styles, Iâll never forget the name because it was such a cool name.â
