Mal vi esta parti-me a rir.

Samoa Joe que tem actualmente 10 pontos negativos no Bound For Glory Series, tinha-se especulado que a TNA tinha algo de grande planeado para ele e assim pudesse subir na classificação do torneio, contudo o plano mais recente é que a TNA não tem nenhum plano para Joe e os criativos nem uma storyline tem para ele e durante algum tempo deverá se manter assim. Foi reportado ontem que Joe pensa em sair da TNA para a WWE quando o seu contrato com a TNA terminar.

Nos últimos dias o ex-TNA World Heavyweight Champion, Samoa Joe, recebeu o apoio por parte de seus companheiros de TNA, Bobby Roode e Kurt Angle.

Roode esteve na sexta-feira passada no Livecast do PWTorch, onde ele disse o seguinte:

Joe tem um talento incrível e se move muito bem para ser um cara grande. Sendo heel ou babyface, ele sempre tem uma grande reacção quando aparece. Ele é respeitado no ramo, e respeitado no nosso backstage. Ele é uma pessoa com que eu nunca tive uma rivalidade grande e eu gostaria de estar em um ringue com ele.

Angle, que concedeu uma entrevista com a Sirius XM Radio e disse o seguinte para Joe:

Não temos feito justiça com Joe. Isto tem a ver com um problema de atitude, uma troca de atitude. No Pro-Wrestling você tem que jogar dentro das regras. Joe era um pouco rebelde. Penso que isso poderia ter afectado. Acho que Joe é racional. Penso que poderíamos fazer de Joe uma grande estrela outra vez. Penso que Joe é um Main-Eventer completo. Penso também que necessitamos fazer agora, porque não fizermos nunca vai acontecer.

The Importance of Restoring Prestige to the Tag Team Championships: "I think it's absolutely key. Some of the greatest matches that have been ever been wrestled have been Tag Team matches, some of the greatest wrestlers have been Tag Team wrestlers, I think Tag Team wrestling, I don't know where it fell out of favor, if I'm part of the resurgence and part of making it relevant again then I'm all for that."

If his Partnership with Magnus Go Further than their Tag Team Title Shot This Sunday: "I think that remains to be seen, I'd like that to continue, I think there's a nice symbiosis between myself and Magnus, I think the Championship Committee put us together because they thought we'd self destruct and kill two birds with one stone because I'm a problem. I've always been a problem and I think TNA are trying to figure out how to contain this problem and their best bet was put oil with vinegar and watch it not mix, and watch it not work out and watch them work themselves into oblivion but obviously we've totally ruined that planned and we plan to continue on and rampage on."

TNA Needing To Move Out of the IMPACT Zone: "I feel it is of dire importance if you want to see the product as well as the fan base continue to grow, people want to see wrestling in their hometown, they wanna go to live events and they want to be part of the experience and forgive me for using the same adjective again but its a very symbiotic experience where the crowd very much powers the performance in the ring and its almost subconscious, when you are out there in front of thousands of screaming fans it amps up your game a little bit, whether you like it or not, it puts you on point, it puts you on focus and makes you want to go out there and put something on fantastically. I think what you saw last week (TV taping from England) was very much evident of that."

His Proudest Moment in the Company thus far: "Winning the Heavyweight Champions, for a bevy of reasons, first and foremost because it was from an athlete like Kurt Angle, is world renowned and world class and one of the top players in the game and I look forward to replicating that experience here in the near future."
