Dude was amazing in ROH and the first half of his TNA run. Going to NXT really breathed life back into him after the way the end of his TNA run went. Really wish he would have one the Big One in WWE.

Joe vs Kobashi is a match everyone needs to watch at once if you haven't see it

My favorite Joe match of all time. Samoa Joe vs Necro Butcher from Something to Prove on 06/11/05

[TNA Turning Point 2005] Samoa Joe kicks the shit out of AJ Styles

 

[Alexa]

Joe went full Inoki on him, lol

Was great at one point. Waited too long to go to the big leagues. One of those guys I’ll always wonder...

“What could’ve been?”

Gotta still grant Joe that he's one of the best talkers in the biz, certainly in WWE. I'd still give him a world title run in a heartbeat, even if he isn't a machine in the ring anymore.

That promo he did before I think an Elimination Chamber where he just wrecked everyone in like 2 minutes was amazing

They had their chance. They put him up against Brock and AJ for the belt. I still say he should’ve beat Brock.

But I think it’s over when it comes to his in ring run.

He fucking slayed Jeff Hardy especially.
