Brian Fowler Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 There was an interview with Joe years ago where the reporter asked him "are you related to The Rock?" "No" "I thought all Samoans were cousins." "We are." And I could never figure if it was a dig at The Rock, or him just kinda laughing at the difference between being related biologically and culturally. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not even the same day either side of the border. Given the Tongans seem to be in, that barely matters. The Rock's mother basically insisted that Joe come on board anyway. It's always been the case of Joe just being proud of his own family heritage, but he's essentially an affiliated member at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure how they pun up his name to make it more recyclable though. I see Harper joining them. As long as he and Rowan are in WWE, they're going to be linked together. The Bryan Family vs. The Club would produce some kick ass six man tags. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GuerrillaMonsoon Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 One Planeteer down. Just need a black guy, a Soviet, an Asian female and a South American now. Even going one step further, as part of obtaining the rights to this, you get a promo where Daniel Bryan brings out Ted Turner to lecture Vince McMahon on their generation's failings. That would be the fucking all time best. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shelton, Lana, Asuka, and...Andrade? Mexico is as close to South America as the main roster gets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only people that come close are Daniel Bryan and Paul Heyman. I really think if Joe were around 50 to 100 lbs lighter, basically close to his ROH weight, then he would have been a WWE champion by now instead of being a gatekeeper. Promo was like nails on a chalkboard until Joe came out. I love Mustafa Ali's Twitter videos where it seems like he's shooting from the hip. When he's doing promos like this and working from WWE writers' scripts, he sounds terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For Great Justice Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Side note: I thought that the Phoenix crowd was fantastic every night this weekend. Engaged and into everything and yes a little clever at times but nothing over the top like past traveling crowds. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another time where I would love to be a fly on the wall when they all got to the back. They all had to be high fiving and hugging each other for that line. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
