I don't think there's gonna be a match between these 2 yet, this is a good way to build a feud straight off the bat.

But they have different matches and angles to deal with at the next PPV

I keep hearing that Angle's first match proper would be against Christian

Have Sting win the title or Jarrett retain (it doesn't really matter), Joe feud with the winner over it, hopefully makes Jarrett Job (who can then move to a lower level feud with Eric Young)

Then have Joe/Angle title match

That who thing if booked right could last 4 months before the Joe/Angle match happens

OK Joe is not one of the best in the world. He just isn't.

He has bags of talent but he can't carry "just about anyone" to a five star match.

Pepsi man, I'm not surprised you disagree with me as you always seem to. Even if you're obviously wrong. The crowd really can make a match, and the crowd seems to get behind Joe all the time, so he must be doign something right don't you think? Or are you to stubborn to realise this?

^ Thanks Dave, that's what I was saying. Also he moves quicker around the ring than I would've thought for a guy like him.

And btw pepsi man you can't compare Brown and Joe, you just can't. Joe is far better. TNA fans will chant for anything, except Jarrett.

Yea and pit your newest big name against your young rising star. Its kinda hard for Angle to put Joe over by just beating him, which is what will happen since hes their new savior.

I can just imagine how great Joe V Angle will be, can't get the thought out of my head. Hope the writers don't fuck it up and also hope they do it before Angle gets injured.

I hope they design and introduce a new title belt before anyone worth watching wins it. Am I the only one who think that thing looks like a glorified belt buckle?

Joe can wrestle but that only gets you so far in wrestling these days, as ironic as that is. its just that the crowds hes performed in front of mark for actual in ring talent, which is a good thing but not a trait of the mainstream. Angle could give him a huge rub tho.

Ya know it's funny how you guys under-rate Joe, but that's just your opinion at the end of the day. Just because Joe might not suit WWE doesn't mean he hasn't got talent or charisma. I just think he would be toned down so much in WWE, like down to Umaga's level, and that's why the WWE crowd wouldn't get behind him, they wouldn't see the real Joe.

Can Joe draw the money of his peers in the WWE? I don't think so. And all the ring talent in the world (which I feel he has a great deal of) can not help him there. Ask Bret Hart.

And hey, can you do me a favor? Don't condesend to people just becuase they aren't Joe marks.



Thanks.

Umagas trash. Joe is great no doubt, I dont think hes underrated tho. Joe would get his time in the ring, his time on screen and prob a decent push off the bat to get over. If his charisma and level of talent is what you say it is, he wouldn't have much of a problem.
Guys like RVD and Benoit got over based on previous reputation in other promotions and their in ring ability, so if hes the same there shouldnt be much of a problem.

With that being said, its not right to say "Joe wouldnt work in WWE cuz they suck" If hes so great and can win over any crowd in the ring, he should be able to draw, which he wouldnt.

Fuck'n A right. That was one stiff head-butt. Sweetness. I hope Kurt is ready to work a stiff match, cause I'm sure Joe is wanting to give a receipt.

Perhaps, but he busted Joe open. People aren't supposed to bust Samons open with head-butts.

QFT. I saw an match live between Joe and Test back in October last year. While it was an entertaining match, it was nowhere near a great match. Good to see you back btw, Destor.

It's been said a few times but I'll say again. If they blow this opportunity with Angle and Joe and rush it... I don't know, but I'll lose a lot of faith in TNA. This encounter was good but this needs to be drawn out.

Not a fan of Kurt's entrance music, guess I'm just so used to his WWE theme. Then again, I hated Christian's music when I first heard it and now I like it.

Kurt's theme just seemed weird to me. I don't like Sting's TNA theme either, to be honest, but for whatever reason, Christian's music never bothered me. *shrug*

The music is definitely going to take some getting used. Though I was having a herd time hearing it over the insane pop, so I dunno, I have to hear it again. It's just that Kurt's WWE music was so perfect, change always sucks...

Yeah, to be honest, I didn't even really dig the remix they used starting when he was drafted to ECW while he was still in the WWE.

Sting's music sucks donkey nuts. To be honest, there's about 5 songs (AJ's, AMW's, Daniels', Jarrett's and Joe's) that I actually like and can listen to. The rest do nothing for me and are crap.

New entrance themes always take a while to grow. I think its because you associate so much with them and suddenly its different. Even his original WWE music was strange until he got over, because it was formerly the Patriots music and Sgt. Slaughters for a while too.
The only entrance them changes I really can remember growing to like was the Undertakers new theme in 98, HHH's motorhead theme in 2000, and even Goldbergs WWE theme. I hated all of them at first but after I had associated them with some memories it certainly took

This is totally irrelevent.

You can't compare Samoa Joe in temrs of money to guys in the WWE.

People like HBK and HHH may draw ten fold what Samoa Joe does... However, they also have the audience to do so.

WWE has been around forever. This includes when wrestling was popular. THey have had time to build a market.

TNA and ROH have come around during what is easily a dark period for wrestling.

You can't argue that if Joe were that great, they'd be doing WWE sales, because it's just not realistic. Just like it's not realistic to say WWE's success can be attributed to one or two men.

You have to look at Joe in relation to the place of TNA/ROH. He is going GREAT there in terms of drawing people in, and selling merchandise.

Of course, people in WWE will still outdraw and outsell him because they are a bigger company with a bigger reach.

It's also extremely difficult to get even the most devout wrestling fans to watch a new product. I have tried to get people who watch WWE every week and who love good wrestling to spend ten bucks on an ROH ticket, but they won't. I've meant to watch TNA more, but I haven't. It's not in my routine. It's not because of the quality of the product, it's just because I haven't got around to it. It hasn't even been a year since I got into ROH.

I'm rambling a bit... But the point I'm trying to make is that it's not fair to compare an ROH/TNA guy to WWE guys in terms of drawing, when one business is years ahead in both financial and fan build up.

And hey, can you do me a favor? Don't condesend to people just becuase they aren't Joe marks.



Thanks.

Did you read my point where I was saying' just because Joe doesn't suit WWE doesn't mean he isn't as good as I think?'...slightly re-worded version but basically the samething. And I never condescended anyone. Show me where you think I did.

Guys like RVD and Benoit got over based on previous reputation in other promotions and their in ring ability, so if hes the same there shouldnt be much of a problem.

With that being said, its not right to say "Joe wouldnt work in WWE cuz they suck" If hes so great and can win over any crowd in the ring, he should be able to draw, which he wouldnt.

If they let him be who he really is then yes, he could draw. But none of us know for sure, it's all just opinion.

I think percentage wise for the size of the companies they represent, Joe can draw more than HHH/HBK in the example given.

But it would never work in a real enviroment, so it's not worth discussing.

Have to agree why the head butt isn't being discussed more.

As for people saying that Angle is going to be in for a brutal match, I'd like to raise something about Joe, the guy is such a fucking fantastic worker because he 'works' I can't think of anyone that's he's seriously injured, and the only injuries i've heard him causing are bumps, bruises and gashes.

He's not even the stiffest worker in that company (Senshi is just dangerous, but that's another discussion), so yes this will be stiff, but no worse than a Benoit/Regal match in terms of potential outcome/injuries.

My proposed finish for this match would be a time limit draw, saves both guys face, it would be awesome and it doesn't give us a shitty dq finish. Either that or an ironman match with a draw finish.

TNA can't afford to have either man job IMO

I just found it hilarious that Jeff Jarret runs in in the middle of all that and takes his belt back. But maybe it's because I kept on picturing Avenger stealing James Steele's belt or something (yeah, yeah, C-Fed ref).

Anyway, in terms of the segment by itself, it was good. But in context to a feud, it's an odd way to start.

Oh well, we'll see. I don't think they'll pull it off right, but hopefully, they don't fuck this feud up.

Sorry you had to on that tangent, but that's not what I was saying. If Joe was THERE could he draw that amount of money? If Joe was playing at that level could/would he still be a draw? I don't think so. Has done great on the indy circut? For sure. Has he done good for TNA? Most likely. But can he translate to BIG money? I, personally, don't think so.

But ftr, If TNA is wanting to play with the big dogs they should be held to the same standerds.

Anywho I like to compair Joe to Wahoo McDaniel, their styles are similar, their looks are similar, and I hold in the same high asteem. But niether of are going to a make anyone wealthy. Joe will put on great matches, Joe will have wrestled all the best names and the title of having their best matches, he will have quite the cult following, make a few small time promoters a dime, but when it's all said and done he will most likely be the guy who passed the tourch to the true great, and not as that great himself. Now tha's just specualtion on my part, but I'd believe that to Joe's future.

If Joe was in the WWE, do you really believe he could be a JBL level draw? Let alone a Triple or Rey Mysterio draw? I cant see it. Yes, in small time wrestling he is doing FANTASTIC. I am a Joe fan don't get me wrong, he just not deserving of the accolades that he was given.

There is little no interest in the product right now, just certian charectors. And in light of that Joe has wisely appealed to the (very) few fans who want a wrestling product. But most people aren't wanting wrestling, they are wanting Stone Cold or The Rock. People...not the product. Does Joe really have this alledged charisma to get to that level? No. Definatly not.

Joe is great athlete and a great worker, but he does not tranlate to a wide array of people. Sure he works great for these select few, who like a certain type of product, but the masses? I certantly don't think so.
