Well, old new? Or new old? Semantics.
Between the interview he did a couple months back talking about how he was "ready to run with it" again, provided TNA just gave him the opportunity, and now this report of him making an impassioned speech to the TNA roster during the UK tour, talking about how tough the tour was, but that he was glad there was no "prima donnas, no complainers and no whiners", and how proud he was of everyone, it sure seems like he's stepping into a leadership role (again) for the company, especially in the wake of losing both AJ Styles and Sting two guys who have been absolute cornerstones for the company over the last nine years.
With Angle also set to be out a while now coming off knee surgery, and rumors he may even miss Lockdown, someone needs to step up, and it looks like that guy is Joe.
He's always been something of a polarizing figure there, consistently praised for his abilities despite his size, yet just as often chastised for it, but when you boil it down, he is, for all intents and purposes, a "TNA Original" (not that this matters much, but to some it does), and having him step up here like this is probably going to be a pretty big boost to the morale of the company that's still feeling the effects of it's losses from the last calendar year.
Thoughts?
