Where does Joe fit in...

[CBCS]

Where does Samoa Joe fit in all of this? He has been kidnapped and gone for weeks. He's not even mentioned? I'm confused with this angle. So where does Joe fit in all of this? Does anyone have any ideas on this angle?

He didn't get mentioned last night which confused me but frm everything i have read this is gonna lead to a big push and a return of the badass Samoa Joe from when he debuted. He will wind up coming back and just being the killer again. Which I'm glad for. Can't wait for a match between him and RVD

Maybe he went to that Biggest Loser ranch in order to work on that FUPA he's got going on.

That being said, I'm curious to see where this angle end's up going. I just hope that the writers aren't reading the "Vince McMahon book of ruining storylines" and they go ahead and do something interesting that we won't see coming. I'd personally like to see him come back with a posse and take care of business!!

I think this is all one big story to get Joe off of our TV so that he can drop some pounds. He has never been small but now it is just ridiculous to see how big he has gotten. When he debuted he was a little big, but here lately he has gotten so big that he looks sloppy. His size is what has held him back. It seems that they try to push him, but it never works when his is as big as he is. When he was World Champion he was OK, but since he has just kind of given up on his appearance. I think that when Joe returns, he will look just like he did when he debuted and return to his style of wrestling that makes you say "Joe is gonna kill you."

I don't know, and I'm glad I don't. I really thought they handled his return under the Nation of Violence poorly aside from the debut of Taz, because IMO a "Nation" can't be run by a single entity. The NOV should have run as a platform stable to get new and angry young power houses over under the calculated and callous direction of a brutal Samoa Joe.

Because of that, I really feel Joe would benefit most right now from disappearing for a few months. I don't mean disappear like he did prior to his MEM feud either, when they injured him to get him off TV for a while. I mean he needs to be forgotton entirely in order to give his return the meaning it deserves. The night Joe returns to iMPACT! or PPV needs to be one of the best "OH SHIT!" moments of the year, not another "Oh yeah" moment when they simply bring someone back who'd been lost in the shuffle like they continually do with Daniels.

Play it right, TNA – don't tip your fucking hand for once. If I have to read about Joe's return in a god damn dirt sheet, you'll have failed tremendously (again).
