LastMinuteLapras Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 I would've loved to see Joe in the WWE a few years ago, but I think its too late for him now. He's already 35. Thats a bit late to join NXT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nWo_Kevin Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 Thinking about it I can see Joe going to ROH and NJPW and then eventually ending up in Jeff Jarrett's new promotion. I mean Samoa Joe was his best in TNA when Jarrett was running things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oresama Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 Although I don't see him signing with WWE. Him appearing in NXT like the guys at thr recent tapings would be cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
classiq. Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 ROH would be the next logical promotion for him. NJPW would be insane and WWE/NXT would be very unlikely. ________________________________________________ https://twitter.com/JustinLaBar/status/567902940683321346 Wonder what that means...

Lyriqz ✪ Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 He was mostly annoying in the past few years to me. He could fit in well with NJPW or something like that but I'm not particularly interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rozay. Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 I think it's possible he goes to NXT, although not the most likely. He's 35, yes, but Bálor and Itami are 33, so it isn't that crazy. He could also debut straight to the WWE. I didn't think about Lucha Underground and GFW. But actually, those are the more likely destinations for him now that I think about it. I'm still pulling for NJPW though. A ready-made feud with Okada is there waiting for him.

RazR Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 He was on a sharp decline but I guess you can't put the full blame on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Generations Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 Okay...Joe as a Heyman guy would be good, tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunchbox Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 That's if he gets back to the shape he was in in ROH and gets that passion for wrestling again. The only thing that worries me is the fact that NXT has guys who are dominant like Joe was so how do you introduce him and have people who aren't "smart" fans give a shit about him. Hes not exactly a wizard when he talks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hes not exactly a wizard when he talks. Joe isn't bad on the mic...and like I said, Heyman would be good for him. Also, the NXT fanbase always knows what's up. If he was brought in there, with Heyman, he would stand a very good chance of at least becoming NXT champion. Would he possibly ask for his release before getting to the main WWE roster? Maybe. But he would be over on NXT. And Joe vs Owens would certainly be something to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronson Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 Please wrestle for PWG and Lucha Underground! Samoa Joe vs. Alberto El Patron would be sick. About a month or two ago, I would be totally on board with him going to Lucha Underground. But they're getting pretty crowded as far as talent goes right now.

classiq. Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 Update: Tuesday afternoon, longtime TNA star Samoa Joe announced he was leaving the company. This was followed by several TNA talent taking to social media to show their respect for the former World Heavyweight Champion, wishing him the best going forward.PWInsider has now provided insight as to why Joe and the company have gone their separate ways.According to the outlet, the situation is very similar to that of AJ Styles at the end of 2013. It was clear at the time TNA was undergoing financial issues and could not afford to offer Styles a contract at a competitive salary to what he was making beforehand. Because of such, he decided to leave after dropping the main title to Magnus, and went off into the independent scene.Unlike Styles, this situation did not play out on television. It is said Joe was looking for a higher salary, and the company simply could not match. PWInsider says there was not heat on either side of the discussions, and they very much consider the doors to be open should something work out creatively. Additionally, it is said TNA is looking to push younger talent and put more of an emphasis on them. While Kurt Angle, in his 40s, may be the current champion, creative is allegedly starting to push in another direction. At age 35, Joe was not in the long-term plans for the main event, and given his misuse creatively in the past, would likely have not faired well. Joe is expected to head to the independent scene much like Styles. http://www.wrestlingrumors.net/update-samoa-joe-left-tna/33938/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Horse Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 I'd love to see Joe back in Ring if Honor honestly. It's not the same as it was when he left, but it he would make me more interested than anything they're doing right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tooocoool Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 Damn guys Samoa Joe in 2003-2005 was the king of the Indies, absolutely in the top 5 of the best pro-wrestlers in the world (In a time where we had Benoit,Angle,Eddie,) and seeing how bad he became it's really sad. I've been watching Joe for 10 years, since I was a kid, he 's one of my all time faves and I think there is no better place for him to go in NJPW,get back in shape and have the baddest match/feud of all time:Joe vs Ishii for the IC Title Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
