Joes gonna kill you? Well, probably not in WWEs PG environment. Joes gonna mildly harm you is more like it. Either way, Joe deserves a shot in the biggest wrestling company in the world. Sure, he probably would have fit in better a few years ago when he was younger and in better shape, but at 35-years-old, he still has a few years of competing at a high level. Sure, Joe may have not ever become a top star in WWE, but you cant rule it out either. Not many figured that CM Punk or Daniel Bryan would evolve into main event talent, but they were both able to despite so much working against them. Like Punk and Bryan, Joe is a former indie star who just has a natural charisma thats hard to come by. In the ring, he moves around better than virtually anyone his size and his repertoire looks lethal. Its understandable why WWE wants to change the names of all of their incoming names these days, but hopefully Joe could be an exception. Hes won TNAs World Title multiple times, and has been one of the most popular wrestlers in the company since its inception. Fans are going to know hes Samoa Joe, and theyre going to know what hes capable of. It would be exciting to see what he could do with the best in WWE. Feuds with him facing off against Cena, Bryan or Orton may perhaps be some of the last few dream matches we have left in all of wrestling.
As Rust Cohle from True Detective said "Life's barely long enough to get good at one thing. So be careful what you're good at."
Sadly, I can't solve a murder like Rust...or change a tire, or even tie a tie. But I do know all the lyrics to Hulk Hogan's "Real American" theme song and can easily name every Natural Born Thriller from the dying days of WCW. I was once ranked 21st in the United States in Tetris...on the Playstation 3 version...for about a week.
