BurningBeard Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Didn't Cesaro say on Austin's podcast recently (or maybe Austin was just recounting an off-air conversation with Cesaro) that heels aren't allowed to cheat anymore?Yeah, Austin said that. Heels can't do anything rasslin wise that a heel would be expected to do.I thought they were specificaly talking about the reverse mule kick. He was, but the implication was that heel behavior in general isn't allowed. How are they supposed to get over as heels then? Ohhhhhhhhhh it makes sense now, taking the piss out of of *insert city's sports team* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramsey Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 So, all kidding (man, Samoa Joe is so fat he was playing Hungry Hungry Hippos, got jealous, and ate all the marbles himself) aside, where does Joe go from here? Is it ROH or bust at this point? Put me in the camp that REALLY would love to see him drop some weight and finish out his career as "grumpy old Joe who will kill you" but no motivation, well, look at him now.

RandomAct Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 If Hunico keeps putting in these sub par showings as Sin Cara then I nominate Joe to take over the mask. If they do that, Samoleon Joe is available for much cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fallacy! Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 RE: Heels cheating.. Off the top of my head I can recall Tyson Kidd using his feet on the ropes in a pin attempt Monday, and Seth Rollins using his briefcase in the 3-way at Royal Rumble. So it does still happen from time to time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dog Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 But when it happens it's always a major plot point. You don't see "incidental" cheating like hair pulls and chokes anymore. Eye pokes have graduated from standard heel transition to move-of-death on par with a low blow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jrag Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Joe was the best wrestler in the world for a year or two. That alone should be enough to earn him a run in NXT. Who knows? Maybe he gets super motivated and gets the call up. Maybe not, but a guy who was that good will always deserve a chance. Assuming WWE doesn't need two work rate fat guys Every promotion ever needs more fat guys who can work. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Man Known as Dan Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 I'll say it again, just for sake of discussion: Joe still lives in Cali, he could work Lucha Underground for one date a month and do the rest of his life stuff and wrestle in PWG there. Him in Lucha Underground is really a great fit for him IMO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stay Gold Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Yeah, Lucha Underground + indies (PWG) is what came to mind for me. It makes perfect sense. Isn't Joe trying to run a restaurant? Or is that already a thing? I'm most likely going to see Teddy Hart & Chris Hero vs Joe & MVP next month. Strange match on paper, but sounds like it could be fun.

Him in Lucha Underground is really a great fit for him IMO. WWE's not going to pay him what he wants just to stick him on NXT. Only way I can see Joe in the WWE is if he's fast-tracked to the main roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming WWE doesn't need two work rate fat guys Every promotion ever needs more fat guys who can work. Re-package Bull Dempsey as a Samoan. Hey, if Haku's kid can be passed off as Mexican, Bull Dempsey can be Samoan. Wax his chest hair and send him to the tanning salon. Pair him with Joe and have the traditional, fat Samoans go after the Uso's for their new age in-shape Samoan bullshit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casey Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Heyman retweeted Joe's statement about leaving, with a "Hmmm" before it. Let's not forget that a few months ago, Triple H and Samoa Joe followed each other on Twitter then quickly un-followed each other. I think Joe in WWE is more likely than people want to think.

Joe probably makes some kick ass Polynesian barbecue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Dave Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 I don't see any downside from WWE's perspective in regards to bringing Joe in for a look. The worst case scenario: he's on NXT a few months and has good matches w Zayn, Balor, Itami, Owens, et al. The best case? A motivated worker who can get good ,watches out of pretty much everyone on the roster... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Now I wanna go eat at Joe's restaurant. Usually if a fat guy's passionate enough about food to open a restaurant, then it's good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
