I think I like Powerade's suggestion the best: Angle and Joe turning against the Mafia. Joe joining the mafia, on the other hand, seems kind of silly after beating the crap out of Steiner and Nash and Booker and kidnapping Sharmell.
If you think about it,Joe did all that shit like kidnapping,beating the crap out of and bloodying them up to really make the swerve so dramatic.Everybody is watching Joe and his hitlist and how he wants to murder them.he then brawls with Kurt in the match to actually help him,unbeknowngst to the fans(including me),and he works so well with AJ styles in the match.But when he gave the belt to Kurt,it was a real shocker,what the fuck moment.I almost cried.I would consider myself,(alongside Sam probably),the biggest Samoa Joe fan on the forums,and when he stabbed the originals in the back,I felt a slight pierce in my own spine.But when I look at it,it kind of gives interesting and exciting possibilities,but defies logic.
The great possibilities are:
1)This can give Joe the added piece that he is missing.He is great as a heel,his brutallity and aggressiveness really makes him a feared heel.But it's not good enough to just be a monster heel I don't think,he needs to add that little bit extra.First his advisor and now the MEM,Samoa Joe will once again become one of the greatest wrestlers in the world.
2)He is a heel,and AJ and Daniels are faces.This spells some more classic matches.I have never seen a bad match featuring these 3 wrestlers.Think of Unbreakable 2005,Destination X 2006 and more.
3)Kurt Angle is the world champion.That opens the possibility for him to become Legends champion,to fit in with the Mafia.He is not ready to be world champion again and the X division title is a no-go,he won't fit in again.So that leaves the legends title,which is held by none other than AJ styles,which will fit in with the story.And this time he won't let me down.His last reign didn't set the world on fire,but that's not really his fault,entirely.
But the good points come with a big defiance of logic:
1)The main point.Why did he join his biggest enemies?Kevin Nash screwed him out of the title.Kurt Angle and him have had some epic wars,where Joe has set out to kill him,for example Lockdown 08 and Hard Justice 07.I won't bring in any of the recent moments,as for all we know they are part of the whole ploy.
2)Samoa Joe is the nation of violence,a one man army.Why would he want to or need to join the MEM.He could easily turn heel and feud with both the originals and the main event mafia.The whole joining a stable takes away a lot of his strength.It sort of makes him seem weak.As a kind of "I'm a killing machine,but I still want grandpa kevin to hold my hand".Oh well,it sort of is a heel thing.I guess it does fit.
I am looking forward to seeing how this goes,with high hopes.By the way,Joe was looking great as a heel on Impact,which I'm watching now.
