Joe’s Gonna Kill You: Samoa Joe to WWE?

Huge news regarding TNA superstar Samoa Joe. Is there a possibility of him coming to WWE? I look into the future and analyze why most wrestlers hate TNA.

Now this is obviously far away in the future…but it is nice to think about. Samoa Joe just recently turned down a 3-year contract extension with TNA, and apparently TNA has been trying to make a deal with him for some time now. It is reported that Joe wanted a raise, but was very angry when he found out that he could only get the raise after he agreed to the 3-year contract extension. There is no word on the possibility of Samoa Joe jumping ship yet, and in fact he might use the “I’m going to leave” thing to gain more money.

If he did jump ship and go to WWE, what would all of this mean? I’ll tell you what it would mean. Half of the people who work for TNA are not satisfied with TNA. Think about it…recently Konnan and Ron Killings left, Samoa Joe declined a contract extension, Senshi asked for his release (but was turned down), and morale is apparently terrible backstage.

If I may quote the PW Torch:

“The current backstage morale in Orlando can best be described as "terrible". Most of the TNA roster (including top talent) is unhappy with how bad the booking has been for quite some time. There is no faith that the writing will improve any time soon and there is a shared consensus that changes are needed. With recent rumors that Jeff Jarrett is slated for another run with the TNA World title in the coming months, many are losing faith that the company is even on the verge of heading in the right direction.”

I read about one report just like this every week or two.
Konnan was recently on a radio show and was asked why he left TNA, and he said:

“A combination of five years of lies building up and not getting paid enough money.”

Now that I am done hating on TNA, I’ll get back to Samoa Joe…

If Samoa Joe comes to WWE then I would say he should go to Smackdown. Have him boost the “B” show for awhile then maybe move him to RAW after a few years. Think about bringing him in as a face and having the following feuds:

Samoa Joe vs. MVP
Samoa Joe vs. Edge
Samoa Joe vs. (bring him from ECW) CM Punk

Or on RAW:

Samoa Joe vs. John Cena
Samoa Joe vs. Randy Orton
Samoa Joe vs. Mr. Kennedy

Just incase you didn’t know, Samoa Joe is a GREAT wrestler. He became the face of Ring of Honor, and took part in 2 of Dave Meltzer’s extremely rare 5-star matches while he was in Ring of Honor (vs. CM Punk and vs. Kenta Kobashi). That is why he would be great in WWE. If he and CM Punk had a Cena-Edge length feud then TNA would be blown off the map. If you want to see some classic Samoa Joe in ROH then please watch the youtube video of him vs. CM Punk...Part 1...Part 2...Part 3
