Samoa Joe needs to call up AJ Styles and get an interview with New Japan. It gives me chills to think of him in the ring with Ishii, Goto, or Nakamura. Could be fantastic for his career after being on ice with TNA for such a long period.

I wonder if he can take those Japanese Strong Style though. He has really slowed down and i mean a lot this past year. He hasn't gone a full on 20 min in a long while and gets gass out fast and no disrespect i mean he was my number wrestler and probably the last monster with an awesome winning streak. 

I can't disagree with the questions about his cardio.  Even in those fantastic 3-way matches with Styles and Daniels, he spent a great deal of time on the floor.  Even in excellent recent matches, like against Aries, I couldn't help but notice that he was gassed by the end.  As far as working stiff, though, I think he'd fit in perfectly.  And, truth be told, the top guys in New Japan can carry anyone.  Nakamura recently made Bad Luck Fale look good, and Fale moves about as well as Kevin Nash when he was in TNA.

Also, to be honest, his contract would probably be like AJ's.  Styles, so far, hasn't worked any of New Japan's house shows and only shows up for PPV events.  He spends far more time wrestling for indies in the States.

Yup, too bad Kevin Steen is in NXT, but if he gets in a feud with Jay Briscoe *_* 

 

Which ever direction he is going he will get my full support.



 

Bet with gooch_destroyer, he wins if FFX and FFX-2 will be at $40 each for the vita. I win if it dont

There is said to be a good amount of interest from Triple H in giving Samoa Joe a WWE tryout for a potential run in NXT, according to MetsFan4Ever, who has broke several WWE stories in the past year.

According to the report, Vince McMahon isn't as interested in Joe as Triple H is but there could be a push within WWE over the next few weeks to give Joe at least a tryout run.

No word yet if Joe is even interested in coming to WWE and working NXT. We've reached out to WWE for comment on the rumor and will keep you updated.

I think Joe's time is done. If it was even 5 years earlier, he could climb his way to the top. Not now.

So why is everyone like "Reigns should still win because that means the fans can control the main event at Wrestlemania" as a bad thing? Seriously, the fans who pay their money to watch a product shouldn't be allowed to get what they want? WTF? Since when is the customer wrong? Like, don't get me wrong, I don't think Daniel Bryan should become champ at Wrestlemania. But there's no way you can have Reigns, a terrible wrestler, against Lesnar, a man who can't carry a match, Main Event Wrestlemania. This year's Rumble was the worst Rumble I have ever seen in my life, because of how poorly booked everything was. Lesnar vs Reigns will be even worse. Fans are speaking out because the product has become worse than garbage and are not happy.



Well Fast lane is over. It was pretty entertaining. I thought the Cena/Rusev match was pretty entertaining. Better than I thought it would be. Too bad Rusev will be pushed under the Cena bus at the Mania. Great lead up to the mania though.

lol I was about to go all spoiler alert and post results but if people haven't watched it I don't wanna spoil too much.



I watched and, while I would much rather have had an Elimination Chamber ppv, I'm okay with how last night played out.



You guys really need to watch this stuff: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s4FKmPSOauU



 

Absolute joke giving Bray Wyatt a match with the Undertaker. Will never understand the appeal of Husky Harris. And he gets a match with undertaker? Guess it doesn't really matter in the end since Undertaker can now be compared with the quality of modern Sonic games. This company and it's inability to progress is going to be the downfall of it.
