Best description of Soma Joe ever...
From this page referring to terrible video game box art: http://www.1up.com/do/feature?pager....=2&cId=3167717
"Fat guy who looks like he just kind of randomly wandered into the shot on his way from the sauna" lol |

I really don't. I mean, the "Soma Joe" name is crappy, the man is a good wrestler, with interesting ring presence that captures the imaginations of quite a lot of the people who watch him.
I really don't understand the hate. Is it because so many within the IWC like him? |

Of course a large man Samoa Joe's side can do what Joe does. Fuck, Joe does it. He's a human being. Anyone could technically put on a match with perfect psychology, too. People have limits, though. Joe has worked his ass off to craft a style that takes a lot out of people. KOoS' post about the WWE only signing CM Punk on recommendation: Didn't Joe turn down a WWE contract? JamesSteele's point about the name: I know what the name means, I just think it is really forced and awkward for a pun. It's your right to not like him, but Joe's promos work. They're not overly flashy, but they aren't that forced. Especially when held up against Randy Orton's, or even John Cena's. Joe's not a natural on the mic, he's a wrestler first, talker second, but he's nowhere near bad. |

Are you trying to put words in my mouth so that you can make another diatribe based on a lie? Man oh man...I mean, for all your snipes at me being a journliast, it'd be nice if you actually had your facts straight before calling my kettle black. That would be rather difficult though. I've explained myself to you before, Noid. On this very issue of "Big Men." That you continue to assert things contrary to what I've stated on the matter really does lead me to believe you're lying, intentionally, to make up an argument. Like the CM Punk deal, like your faux complaints to attack my journalism, like your entire "gimmick" which boils down to "I'm too stupid to understand you, so I'll make up an argument I can easily defeat with my half-assed reasoning." You're like Fox news: Yelling at the real journalists and spinning bullshit all the while. |

Or even hate for him, really. |

Would it have been better if I made a 20 paragraph post explaining how he should be used in TNA and eventually turn it around to have him job to or team with a bunch of jobbers?

The fact that he looks like a fat guy who wandered in from the sauna, and then proceeds to beat the shit out of someone is part of why he's awesome.

See though, Noid didn't get the connection that that's what he looks like there.
Now he's going to reply and say he did, but didn't find it funny, when he didn't realize it until now. And NOW he's going to respond and say I'm "not funny" and go on a 3-5 paragraph post explain exactly WHY I'm not funny and explain how he "knows comedy" because he's a "stand up comedian". Maybe he'll throw in that I'm just "playing a gimmick" that goes against anything in the IWC or entertainment in general and not understand that other people like other things and that if HE and a hundred other people say, for example, Santino is a "subtle comedic genius", that it's the God-given truth and the majority. Maybe he'll explain how if the general population likes things it's called "popular" and that I'm not "in the majority". Of course he'll have to throw in how I'm just an asshole who "has to get it my way" and try to turn every point I said here against me, whether he actually believes it or not. Now he'll just post exactly what I wrote here except change the wording to sound like he didn't. Or he'll just post something to the effect of "you're pretty much spot-on". Perhapse he'll even point out my grannatical erors. Last edited by Xero; 05-10-2008 at 12:45 AM. |

I "know comedy" because I am naturally a very funny person. Believe it or not, I'm very different on TPWW than I am in real life. You don't know otherwise, and you won't be able to convince me otherwise. With some things if people don't know, you can't tell 'em. I am fairly certain (of course, I cannot be) that you don't know. You might be hilarious in real life, but you strike me as a bomber. Quote:

Honestly Kurt Angle looks way more ridiculous than Soma Joe on that cover...Look at his face! He looks like an angry kid with Down Syndrome.
And Sting looks like he's yawning...Leave it to TNA to make the worst video game cover ever. |

I mean, you can't really argue that he DOESN'T look like a random fat guy who wandered out of the sauna into the ring.
Doesn't take anything away from him. Like some said, it may even make him that much more awesome. Preference really, but you gotta recognize that descrip as fact |

I think Kurt actually shit himself just before the photo was taken. Stings just yelling out about it, and Joe just looks pissed off that it splattered on him.

I'm not a big fan of anything TNA does, really. Hardcore respect for most of their roster, but it's not booked to look like money. If WWE can push Randy "Resthold" Orton with his botched Diamond Cutter to main event status then it's possible for TNA to look good.... they just need to figure out how to do it.

Flip over to TNA, and they can't do that. They've got some legit stars they could use, but they're few and far between compared to the WWE castoffs. Part of the way you get guys over in pro wrestling (At least the mainstream stuff) is by having them work with guys who are already established. No matter how good you are, it's hard to become a household name otherwise. Not to mention the fact that every time I tune in to TNA, someone's speaking that really shouldn't. They need to focus on mic skills a lot more or something. Workrate's great when you're trying to pack gymansiums and shit, but if you've got a TV deal, you might want to try something a little extra. |

I'm going to quote something my boss said to a customer who believed he was getting ripped off because he was black.
"Life isn't fair, get over it." I'm not telling you to get over it, but life isn't fair. You're right. Orton got a huge rub from an icon, a legend in the making, and a hairless ape. After that you can't just put the Euro title on him and make him feud with Shannon Moore over spilt milk. Orton was headed places the moment he walked to the ring with Triple H and Ric Flair. Being the son of a wrestler helped him get his foot in the door to be the youngest world champion in WWE history. Orton not making waves in the industry is like Bill Gate's son working at 7-11. No chance in hell. Orton was given so much, worked for very little, and should get all the credit along with all the shit he has earned. |
