Professional wrestling has produced countless memorable table spots over the years, but Greektown Wrestling delivered a different kind of spectacle on October 23: a table that simply would not cooperate.
During a six-person tag team match, Joey Janela found himself at the center of a prolonged and punishing sequence involving a table positioned between the ring and the guardrail. The table had been platformed for a high-impact landing, with B3CCA, Aaron Rourke, and Marcus Mathers each taking turns trying to send Janela crashing through it. What followed was less a single dramatic table bump than an escalating battle between the wrestlers and an unusually durable piece of furniture.
Janela teamed with Sloane Jacobs and Channing Decker against Rourke, Mathers, and B3CCA. The official result saw Janela, Jacobs, and Decker pick up the victory. But the defining image from the contest was the table’s remarkable resistance as move after move failed to break it.

A Table Spot That Kept Going
The sequence began when Janela attempted to DVD B3CCA through the platformed table. Rather than collapsing beneath the impact, the table stayed intact. That alone would have been an awkward outcome for a spot designed around a clean break, but it turned out to be only the first failed attempt.

B3CCA then went to the middle rope and came down with a splash onto Janela. The table again held firm. With Janela still taking the brunt of the action around the platform, Rourke entered the sequence with a somersault senton. The result remained the same: the table did not break.
Mathers was next to try his luck. He attempted a double stomp onto Janela, aiming to finally force the platformed table to give way. It still did not happen. Mathers followed with another attempt, this time using a slingshot splash. Once again, the table remained in one piece.
After several impacts and increasingly desperate-looking efforts to complete the spot, Rourke returned with a more straightforward senton. That was finally enough. The table broke on the final attempt, ending one of the more stubborn furniture-based sequences seen in a wrestling ring environment.
The moment was especially striking because the table did not merely survive one mistimed landing or one unexpected impact. It withstood a series of attempts involving multiple wrestlers and several different types of offense. By the time it finally gave way, the story of the spot had shifted completely. The wrestlers were trying to create a major crash, while the table had become the unexpected obstacle around which the entire exchange revolved.
Janela Takes The Punishment
Janela has long been associated with chaotic matches and a willingness to participate in high-risk, unconventional situations. In this case, however, the October 23 sequence was notable not because a table broke in dramatic fashion, but because it took repeated attempts before it did.
That placed Janela in a difficult position throughout the exchange. A standard table spot is generally built around one decisive impact, giving the match a clear visual punctuation mark. Here, each unsuccessful attempt created another chance for contact with the table while leaving the intended payoff unresolved. The eventual break came only after B3CCA, Rourke, and Mathers had all been involved in efforts to put Janela through the platform.
The physicality of the moment also added to its unpredictability. Once the first attempt failed, every subsequent move carried the same central question: would this finally be the impact that broke the table? The answer continued to be no until Rourke’s final senton. The repeated failures gave the sequence an unusual rhythm, turning a familiar wrestling prop into the focus of the match’s most talked-about moment.
There was no ambiguity about the table’s role in the scene. It had been set between the ring and guardrail to create a dangerous-looking platform, and the competitors repeatedly targeted Janela there. Yet rather than behaving as expected, it resisted the impacts until the sixth and final attempt.
The Match Result Still Belongs To Janela, Jacobs And Decker
For all the attention drawn by the unbreakable table, the match did have a winner. Janela, Sloane Jacobs, and Channing Decker defeated the team of Aaron Rourke, Marcus Mathers, and B3CCA.
That result is important because the spectacle of the table sequence could easily overshadow the actual competitive outcome. Janela’s side left with the victory, while the opposing team was responsible for much of the offense during the extended table sequence. The match therefore combined a clear six-person tag result with a moment that took on a life of its own.
Jacobs and Decker were officially part of the winning trio alongside Janela, even as Janela became the central figure in the table-related chaos. Rourke, Mathers, and B3CCA collectively tried to turn the platformed table into a defining weapon against him. They eventually succeeded in breaking it, but not before the table had resisted every earlier effort.
In wrestling, a match can be remembered for its finish, its feud implications, a standout performance, or one visually unforgettable sequence. This was firmly the latter. The official record will show the winning team, but the lasting memory from the event is likely to be the lengthy progression of failed table spots and the persistence required to complete the final one.
When The Prop Becomes The Story
Tables are a familiar part of wrestling’s visual language. They signal danger, escalation, and the possibility of a sudden impact that changes the mood of a match. Usually, the expectation is simple: a wrestler is driven through the table, it breaks, and the crowd reacts to the crash. Greektown Wrestling’s October 23 match offered the opposite experience.
Instead of functioning as a quick payoff, the table became a recurring problem. Every failed attempt raised the stakes of the next one. The wrestlers adjusted from a DVD to a middle-rope splash, then a somersault senton, a double stomp, a slingshot splash, and finally a regular senton. The changing approach underlined just how much punishment the table absorbed before its eventual collapse.
That escalation also gave each participant a moment in the sequence. B3CCA was involved from the opening DVD attempt and followed it by splashing Janela from the middle rope. Rourke tried the somersault senton before ultimately delivering the senton that finally broke the table. Mathers contributed two separate attempts, first with the double stomp and then with the slingshot splash. Janela, meanwhile, remained the target throughout the extended ordeal.
It is the kind of unscripted-looking wrinkle that can make a wrestling moment stand out. The intended spot did eventually happen, but the path to it was dramatically different from a routine one-impact table break. The table’s refusal to collapse turned a familiar situation into an endurance test for everyone involved.
A Chaotic Greektown Wrestling Memory
Greektown Wrestling’s October 23 show now has a particularly unusual six-person tag moment attached to it. Janela, Jacobs, and Decker secured the victory over Rourke, Mathers, and B3CCA, but the match’s most enduring image may be the table surviving impact after impact before finally breaking.
Janela’s attempted DVD did not do it. B3CCA’s middle-rope splash did not do it. Rourke’s somersault senton did not do it. Neither of Mathers’ attempts could force the break. Only after Rourke came back with a standard senton did the table finally yield.
In the end, the winners were Janela, Jacobs, and Decker. The wrestlers completed the spot. The platformed table was eventually broken. But after surviving so many attacks before that final impact, it had already made its own case as the toughest participant in the match.
