Joseph Carmine Bonsignore (born July 14, 1971), better known by his stage name Joey Styles, is best known as "the Voice of ECW". He was the first, the last, and the only play-by-play announcer in the wrestling business to call entire live pay-per-views solo (that is, without a color commentator to give him some breathing time and explain moves - "wasn't done before me, hasn't been done since!", in Joey's own words). Styles was well-loved by fans for his commentary skills and snarky attitude, and when ECW folded, it took a while, but he eventually signed with WWE and took up the play-by-play mic on Raw and later WWE's ECW brand. He was Kicked Upstairs in 2008 and served as the Director of Media Content for WWE.com before being released in mid-2016. He promptly signed on with Beyond Wrestling, CHIKARA, and EVOLVE, but was fired from all three promotions in November of that year over a very controversial remark (quoting the then president-elect) made towards a female ring announcer during an EVOLVE event. He quietly left the business afterwards.Joey is not related in any way, shape, or form to AJ Styles - though they are both phenomenal. | |

Vocal Evolution | |
| Joey Styles (Wrestling) / int_2ef005ab | comment |
Vocal Evolution: In the early days of ECW, Joey was a lot and lower pitched to the point that it was borderline Dull Surprise. It's especially noticeable when you hear Joey yelling "Oh My God" in 1993 and then hearing him say it 12 years later at the first One Night Stand. | |

Ultimate Job Security | |
| Joey Styles (Wrestling) / int_8c55e307 | comment |
Ultimate Job Security: Let's face it - any other person would've been fired from WWE for what Styles' said and done on his Twitter account alone. He keeps his job most likely because Vince McMahon doesn't want angry smarks burning WWE Corporate Headquarters down the next day. Eventually averted, as he was fired from WWE in mid-2016. Let's run down a partial list of Styles' Twitter shenanigans: He revealed Bryan Danielson's return just minutes before it actually happened. He revealed Aksana's removal on WWE NXT Season 3 before it was shown, then apologized for the reveal and insulted NXT at the same time a week later. He insulted WWE's ECW brand by saying it wasn't anything compared to the old ECW. He actually acknowledges (and rips on) TNA, something WWE goes out of their way to avoid doing at all. He's now decided to mock the new WWE policy of never using the word "wrestling". Not that this is the first time he's done that. | |

Everyone Has Standards: Joey Styles, the long time ECW announcer, was disgusted with Mick Foley's famous Hell in a Cell match at the 1998 King of the Ring, as revealed on the alternate commentary to said match on one of Foley's DVD sets. As much as he hated Mike Awesome, when Masato Tanaka hit him with a steel chair onto the chair on his face, Styles responded with a startled "Holy crap!" Lampshaded immediately: | |

Precision F-Strike: During the ECW World Heavyweight Champion Mike Awesome vs. Maato Tanaka match at ECW November to Remember 1999, November 7, 1999, Awesome hit a sit-out Awesome Bomb from the ring apron through a table to the floor. The crowd started the "ECW ECW ECW" chant, until the realization of what they had just seen hit them and they started a "Holy shit! Holy shit! Holy shit!" chant. | |
