Samoa Joe Suspended

[taker707]

Samoa Joe has reportedly been suspended indefinitely by TNA. Apparently the reason for Joe’s suspension is a bad attitude. There is also at least some heat on Joe for his weight not improving.



update:

Source: Prowrestling.net

As reported earlier, Samoa Joe was said to be very upset following his match with Jeff Hardy on iMPACT! last Thursday, which ended in a time limit draw. Joe was furious following the bout because he felt the finish was given away by TNA having ring announcer Jeremy Borash say there were 30 seconds remaining when he specifically asked them not to. According to a source, Joe headed backstage and screamed at Vince Russo while Dixie Carter was present. There are reports that Russo instructed Borash to announce that there were 30 seconds remaining in the match which got Joe irate.

Joe hasn’t worked for the company since the outburst. He wasn’t on hand for last week’s iMPACT! television tapings in Orlando. One source claims Joe yelled at production team members David Sahadi and Keith Mitchell, while others say it was Vince Russo — who reportedly instructed Borash as we noted above.

Meanwhile, another source felt that Joe was right about the finish being given away, but added that he handled the situation poorly. He’s had past backstage outbursts which doesn’t help matters.

As of this writing, we believe that Joe has been suspended by TNA. We’ll keep you posted as we get more.

[Schlomey]

Sounds like he is getting fed up with the overbooking & writing too. Also sounds like he is trying to protect his characters likeness in the process. Good man, Joe is, for sticking up for his character & what he thinks is right.

[Innovator]

Atta boy Joe

[Sixx]

He's a fat piece of shit, that's what he is.

[Innovator]

Now lets get Homicide to quit, Joe waits out his contract, and BAM 3 Kings back together.

[VSG]

Who was the 3rd king?

[CSL]

Maybe we finally have an answer to the age old question 'Who ate all the pies?'

[CSL]

Who was the 3rd king?

Burger

[VSG]

I was hoping someone would say that.

[BigDaddyCool]

I could see Joe making the jump to WWE.

[VSG]

Joe can join the SES and save us. Not likely though.

[Schlomey]

Samoa Joe and Husky Harris could be a tag team...no wait..that would suck.


4 too many floppy titties in one team.

[Xero]

TNA suspends people? Since when?

[VSG]

Not enough cash to support the roster?

[RKO'em]

I could see Joe making the jump to WWE.

I'm pretty sure he's said he'd never jump ship.

Anyone have the interview he said that?

[Destro 2.0]

Hell he is too good for them here is hoping for him to come back to Ring of Honor where he belongs. As for weight name a small samoan.

The Rock. While not "small", he did not have the "Samoan Fat", aside from the moob issue, which a few thousand dollars and a jogging suit remedied.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

The Usos

[Xero]

Them too.

[Destro 2.0]

None of them are small by any means so you are all wrong.

[Xero]

Define "small". Wrestler small or "normal" small?

[Destro 2.0]

Please from everyones reactions on here a little bit of fat means that your obese.

[Xero]

What the fuck are you talking about?

[Supreme Olajuwon]

He's clearly fat. It's not that big a deal.

[Destro 2.0]

I am talking about how everytime someone gains weight or shows a little bit of weight. You mindless fucking morons start harping about how they are obese.

[Xero]

Fat != Obese.

Samoa Joe is fat.

[Mooияakeя™]

What the world sees of the US, he is fucking anorexic.

Anyway, tbh, Joe boy... WWE bound at any point? Nah, Japan / RoH more likely. Fuck Russo. His time was up ages ago. He should go do some other shit like grow oranges. Surely his over selling of things would work a treat in the retail sector.

[Destro 2.0]

So was Umaga,Manu,Husky Harris,Yokozuna, Rikishi, and Giant Haystacks.

[Destro 2.0]

Joe has every right to punk out Vince Russo. Dixie carter is too stupid to realize how much of problem he is. Let him go write for CSI or some other bullshit.

I watch the preview for the You Shoot with Dixie Carter and she said every time she hears fire Russo. She will fire someone else.

[Xero]

Okay, we've established who fat wrestlers are. You are apparently in agreeance.

What is the problem here?

Also, Yokozuna was obese.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

That is correct. There are multiple fat people in wrestling.

[Destro 2.0]

Okay, we've established who fat wrestlers are. You are apparently in agreeance.

What is the problem here?

I am tired of everyone being obsessed with body Image its wrestling. Look back 30 years ago not everyone was in great shape.

[McLegend]

Don't forget about Matt Hardy and Raven.

[jskinnyg]

Yokozuna was a planet... RIP...

[jskinnyg]

Don't forget about Matt Hardy and Raven.

Heh Fat Hardy... Jeff is starting to put on the lbs a lil too...

[Xero]

I am tired of everyone being obsessed with body Image its wrestling. Look back 30 years ago not everyone was in great shape.

If they can move, not be sloppy in the ring and generally be not lazy, there is no problem with "fat". Vader was a fat fuck but he could also fuck you up twenty ways from Sunday and looked good doing it.

Thing is, guys like Matt Hardy's in-ring work was being affected to some extent when he put on the pounds. It's more a problem of being out of shape than being fat. You can be fat and in shape.

[CSL]

I am tired of everyone being obsessed with body Image its wrestling. Look back 30 years ago not everyone was in great shape.

You're a bit of a drooling spastic aren't you.

This :y:

[Destro 2.0]

Define fat here because if you are not so roided up or your ribs aren't showing then you are an obese human being.

[Tazz Dan]

I always wondered why I was so fucking obese. Must be the Samoan in me.

[gwaruk]

i dont think wwe have expressed any interest in joe have they?? though seein joe vs kaval in wwe would be tremendous imo.

[CSL]

I did it...for Tazz Dan.

[CSL]

Define fat here because if you are not so roided up or your ribs aren't showing then you are an obese human being.

You're a chubber aren't you.

[rated rjo]

How did a thread about Joe being suspended turn into a rant about how fat he is?

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Define fat here because if you are not so roided up or your ribs aren't showing then you are an obese human being.

No one said obese. Fat and obese are not the same thing. Your gripe seems to stem for your inability to understand this.


Also, come on bro. He's clearly fat. LOOK:

That is fat. It's very clearly fat. There is no debate.

[rated rjo]

Nix that, fat wrestlers period.

[Xero]

When you have double boobs going on, you're in the "fat" zone.

[jskinnyg]

yep... fatty... But still so f'in quick...

What was Umaga? What is Husky Harris and not once has anyone said anything about his weight.

[Xero]

Actually, at least in chat, it's been brought up that Husky Harris is, indeed, fat.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

What was Umaga? What is Husky Harris and not once has anyone said anything about his weight.

Fat. They're fat. AND THAT'S OK. They're big and beautiful.

[CSL]

brb gonna go make sure I've mentioned anybody that has ever killed anybody ever before I say anything bad about Charles Manson.

[bigslimjj]

The real story here is that Russo is still a f***in idiot who can't book shit.

[gwaruk]

so all the "men" callin joe fat,... You'd say that to his face would ya???

[Destro 2.0]

Yes its is but the first comment after that one chap posted. Well he is a fat piece of shit.

What's he gonna do, deny it?

[Supreme Olajuwon]

No but he might eat you... The fat kid always gets hungry... I'm just sayin' ...
:yes::yes::yes:

[gwaruk]

i recall joe punkin some fan out at a live event lol

[Xero]

I plan to eat Sammy G if I ever meet him, because he called me fat.

[jskinnyg]

Maybe he meant PHAT Xero...

[Destro 2.0]

So lets curse the name of Vincent Russo Esquire.

[The Pope]

Joe's gonna kill you

[VSG]

What is going on here?

[screech]

What the fuck happened in here?

[jskinnyg]

I dunno but I think someone called me fat too.... love it when threads get like this sometimes...

[screech]

Damn you, VSG

[Destro 2.0]

So its great that a TV writer decided to give away the finish of the match. He might as well come before the show starts and tell them the results.

[Joesgonnakillyou]

THIS IS THE WORST THING TO HAVE HAPPENED IN PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING.

I do love Samoa Joe and I'm glad he's trying to stand up for himself and, lets face it, logic in TNA. He could never make it in WWE though, he's just not their type of wrestler.

I think we should just unite and say, he is fat. but the best wrestler to be fat. By miles.

Yes, the only reason anyone would ever call Samoa Joe fat is because his ribs aren't showing.

Nevermind the D cup tits and 17 fat rolls.

[Schlomey]

Fat or not I love most of his work.

Lol, that needs to go up on the "wrestler Lookalike thread"


Am I the only one seeing it strange that there trying to call Samoa Joe on "not wanting to lose weight", yet he still can move in the ring? Both Jeff Hardy and Tomko have put on weight and gotten sloppier in the ring and havent gotten called on it?

[DLVH84]

I can see that as well. Also, you got to remember Big Van Vader and Bam Bam Bigelow.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I could see Samoa Joe leaving TNA pretty soon. The guy has been allowed to really showcase himself there at times, but it wasn't the match made in heaven that either party thought it would be, I don't think. Joe has got some good friends in the WWE. I believe he is close to both John Cena and CM Punk. If he wanted a job there, I think he would get one. To be honest, I could see him paired with The Usos as a sort of mini-stable.

But I think Joe cares more about his creative freedom than his wallet, so perhaps he might go to Japan, or even return to ROH or join that new Florida promotion. Also, a skinny Samoa Joe just doesn't seem as cool to me as a fat Joe who just kicks the shit out of people.

[RiX1024]

wel JB shouldn't of said that so I agree with Joe there, otherwise he's a donkeybag for going nuts backstage.

[Haze]

OMG, I CAN"T BELIEVE THAT THEY SUSPEN...

Yea don't really care.

[Mr. Nerfect]

For the record, the announced time limit was the wrong call to make. As soon as Borash said it, you knew what was going to happen, and it pissed off the crowd and took the wind out of the sails for the rest of the match. If it happened as it did without the early announcement, people would have been into their wild brawl, been annoying about the time limit, but really wanted to see the next match between the two.

[BigDaddyCool]

I think if TNA keeps screwing with Joe, he will jump to WWE.

[BigDaddyCool]

Tag with Husky Harris. Joe and the Fat Guy

book it

Someone already made that joke.

[Next Big Thing]

I think if TNA keeps screwing with Joe, he will jump to WWE.

That's okay. TNA would just bring in Lex Luger to fill the void and create a new buzz for Monday Night Wars Reloaded.

[Innovator]

Punk is the 3rd king

[The Pope]

OMG, I CAN"T BELIEVE THAT THEY SUSPEN...

Yea don't really care.

This would've been funny had you just completely used different words.

[Rollermacka]

Well then here is the question, would guys like Cyber Kong and former Eliminator Kronus be considered fat? Kronus was around 300 lbs but could hit that 450 better than Justin Gabriel. Husky and Joe are agile and quick in the ring and well, Cyber Kong could probibly throw one of those "Smart cars" at you

[BigDaddyCool]

Joe is a moron for staying in TNA. It is clear the path that TNA is going, the crazy insane path that isn't very clear and don't make no sense ever. WWE would be a good place for him. He needs to pull his head out of his ass.

[Gertner]

Hell he is too good for them here is hoping for him to come back to Ring of Honor where he belongs. As for weight name a small samoan.

Yes. Let's hope Joe goes from making good money, to wrestling for $10 bucks in front of 20 people.

Let's face it, working for ROH won't provide enough food for Joe to eat.

[CSL]

I don't think Vince's personal wealth would provide enough food for Joe to eat.

[Xero]

Cyber Kong isn't fat. He isn't ripped, either. He's just right for his build, in fact.

Kronus was kinda sorta fat but I wouldn't call it fat. Chubby works better, he was borderline.

You can be fat and agile and/or strong.

Though remember height matters, as well as the amount of muscle. If you're 300 pounds and ripped, you aren't fat. If you're 300 pounds and over 6'5 you likely aren't in the fat category, either. Nash and Taker aren't fat, for example.

[BigDaddyCool]

Taker also isn't 300 lbs...

[Xero]

He's like 290 now, but he slimmed down from 328 (billed, let's say 310-315 realistically) and back then he wasn't fat.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Joe should start wearing polka dot tights and call himself the Samoan Dream.

[Joesgonnakillyou]

The 'new Umaga'?


Book it.

[Innovator]

Joe should start wearing polka dot tights and call himself the Samoan Dream.
I'd pay to see that.

[Rollermacka]

WOW, I just got an image of Joe dancing around in yellow dots with Rosie Lottalove in polka dots.

[Innovator]

IF YOU WILL

[Mr. Nerfect]

I think if TNA keeps screwing with Joe, he will jump to WWE.

Especially now that he's getting older. The guy is now 31, but given his size and the style he works, he probably won't be one of those guys that can go forever. When he signed with TNA, he would have been like 26 or something. He was considered "young" by wrestling standards, and he was a hot prospect at the time. He had a long future ahead of him, but now he's sort of in his prime years and doing nothing with it.

If Joe ever thought about joining the WWE, it's probably a "I'm going to do it now before there's no interest in me" thing. The only thing that would stop Joe from signing is if he still has that "artist's mentality" where he doesn't want to conform even for the big bucks.

I think CM Punk's being in the WWE and doing so well there could help to convince Joe that he can go to the WWE and still be Samoa Joe.

[itsmeJD]

If Joe goes to the E I see Vince putting him with the Usos and dub them Samoan Swat Team 2.0....which I guess would make him the new Samoan Savage.

[The Pope]

[Next Big Thing]

Punk wasn't viewed as the face of TNA. Samoa Joe is.

Vince would want Joe to come to WWE so he could job him out and put him in funny skits on Raw with Santino and Kozlov. If Christian and Gail Kim can't get decent pushes, no way in hell Joe would. Not to mention he'd probably have to do two years in FCW to learn the "WWE style."

[Mr. Nerfect]

I think Joe would bypass a lot of that developmental stuff. He's got friends in high places, and while he might not be given the "keys to the company" or anything, I think they'd use him as a strong mid-carder at the very least. I could see him being put with The Usos, but it'd need to keep with their "We're a new breed of Samoan" thing.

But Danielson was only in FCW for about a few months before getting called to the main roster.

[Xero]

Who are his "friends in high places"? Because Punk ain't one.

[Destro 2.0]

No actually Joe and Punk are best friends. If he leaves and I hope he does because he just too good. I hope to see him in Japan or ROH again.

[Xero]

I mean Punk isn't "in high places".

[Destro 2.0]

I mean Punk isn't "in high places".

But from the stories the hobgoblin manufactures. Vince has been high on Punk lately.

[thecc]

Who are his "friends in high places"? Because Punk ain't one.Cena

[Xero]

Yeah that worked out so well for Danielson.

[Destro 2.0]

Yeah that worked out so well for Danielson.

The only reason Samoa Joe has a towel around his neck when he comes out is so that it will cover his manboobs...Haha.

[Fox]

As far as the "Joe is Fat" stuff goes, I don't really understand it from a company's perspective.

Look out at the audience at any wrestling show in the country and tell me there aren't a shitload of fat guys. So, what's wrong with giving these fat guys someone to look up to in the wrestling business; someone who, like Joe, can actually wrestle and put on incredible matches. If he were a fat piece of shit with a terrible work rate that would be another story entirely.

[Aguakate]

Ever since Bischoff and Hogan got there, we have seen less and less of Samoa Joe, for some reason...maybe Eric isn't a huge fan of his or something? I mean, he's a former Champion...you would think he would be involved in important storylines.

[Destro 2.0]

Ever since Bischoff and Hogan got there, we have seen less and less of Samoa Joe, for some reason...maybe Eric isn't a huge fan of his or something? I mean, he's a former Champion...you would think he would be involved in important storylines.

Its because Hogan and Bitchoff only like big Muscular men who were underwear so they can masturbate to it and Bitchoff can pimp his wife out to someone new. Hell look at Rob Terry no talent or Charisma at all but the roids have him with no fat at all. But this also doesn't explain why they have been pushing Abyss like they have. I know Hogan wants to make him the Next John Cena whatever that fuck means.


But Joe should be removed from Suspension and put into a feud with RVD. Then have him go over RVD. Its gotta be him or Nigel McGuniness. But, alas TNA does not nor will the ever know how to create new stars.

[Vastardikai]

It just goes back to the major problem with these "Wars."

WWE Management is lazy.
TNA Management is incompetent.

laziness trumps incompetence.

[Domino]

I met Joe in Houston. I'll never forget what he told me. "We put on a good show when they let us." I guess he finally got fed up, haha.

[BigDaddyCool]

Especially now that he's getting older. The guy is now 31, but given his size and the style he works, he probably won't be one of those guys that can go forever.

Well he is conforming for no bucks right now.

[Brigstocke]

Isn't his 'Speed and Agility for a big man' the whole point?. Thats what Joe does and always has sold himself on.

As if it matters at all that he's a bit of a tubster, so were countless numbers of good workers (Vader, Bigelow, Bossman, Bubba Dudley, Albert et al) and fatties are an important part of any roster.

Would Mark Henry have a job if it wasn't for his sheer size? Wrestling companies use fatties to make smaller guys look good when they beat them.

Always have and always will.

[VSG]

Aren't you supposed to remain in Casual?

[Brigstocke]

Aren't you glad I've briefly jumped the fence again? Top notch post I made there m8.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Well he is conforming for no bucks right now.

Bingo. Which is why I do agree with you when you say that Joe's time in TNA might not last too much longer.

And that was a good post, Brigstocke.

[VSG]

And that was a good post, Brigstocke.

Agreed. Keep it up, Brit.
