10 Hottest Free Agents LEFT In Wrestling Today
1. Samoa Joe
Right now, Samoa Joe is somebody who could thrive as a top tier attraction for any single pro wrestling company on the planet. Which makes it all the more baffling that WWE opted to release the Samoan Submission Machine as part of their annual post-WrestleMania cuts.
For WWE, they had a special talent on their hands in Joe. This is someone who is believable as all hell, who can work with any style of wrestler, who can be a truly despicable heel or an ass-kicking babyface, who is great on the mic, who elevates everyone he works with, and is a talent and a person held in the highest regard by his peers.
It's still utterly insane to think that WWE chose to release Samoa Joe, but hey, Vince McMahon's loss is the wrestling world's gain. Wherever Joe ends up, he can be a genuine gamechanger.
Should he go to AEW, that's a phenomenal addition to the All Elite locker room. Should he head back to Ring of Honor where it all began, that's a huge shot in the arm for ROH. Should he decide to stop off in the NWA, that's finally a viable contender to dethrone NWA Worlds Heavyweight Champion Nick Aldis. Should an IMPACT Wrestling return be on the horizon, that's a perfect person to lead IMPACT in its battle against Don Callis and his cronies. Should he take a trip to New Japan Pro Wrestling, that's one stunning attraction for NJPW.
The point is, Samoa Joe is one of the best all-round talents on the planet - and right now, he's unquestionably the hottest free agent in the industry.
