Trivia
- Joshman was going to participate in Mogul Chessboxing Championship before breaking his right arm, which also prevented him from participating in The Big House 10. He would attend the Ludwig Smash Invitational despite his arm not fully healing, placing 9th.
- During his match against Lunar Dusk, he button-mashed with his broken arm to try and escape the Ice Climbers grabs.[1]
