Fain's Video of the Day 8/5

One of my favorite moments ever in wrestling. Being a huge Shawn Michaels fan already, I loved this spot so much and its sooooooooo bad ass, its probably the best Sweet Chin Music Ever. Enjoy

Gaaaayyy

Other than Vance Archer's "Tramp Stamp", this has got to be the gayest tattoo on a wrestler, we know who you are, you don't need to get 8 inch letters with your inititals. At least he got the dates of his childrens birth and not the dates of his TNA title wins, that would've been even more fucked up.

"Joe's gonna kill you!"

So, today or yesterday or whenthefuckever, it has come out that Samoa Joe has been "suspended indefinitely" for supposed "poor attitude and weight issues". Yeah, he's a big guy, always has been from what I remember him in ROH and his early days in TNA, but at least he dropped some of it from his time in that Main Event Mafia fiasco. Plus, he's one of you best wrestlers, and honestly one of the most over with the fans, if not THE most over with them. Put simply, the guy can go and maybe should be carrying the belt. I like RVD with the title, but he's not a "TNA guy" and I think thats what they need at the helm as champion right now. Joe has been misused and used sparringly for at least a year now, yet his match with RVD earlier last month on Impact is one of the highest rated of the year among wrestling fans, not just TNA fans, and think about this, RVD and Joe had to almost literally BEG for more than the four minutes they were originally given!

Now, I can see Joe being upset, he's been one of the biggest supporters of the company for years now and now he's being pushed aside, and not just for the ECW guys, but for everybody apparently. He felt his match with Jeff Hardy was ruined when the finish was revealed by the announcer telling everyone "30 seconds left" when Joe had asked them not to do that, and yes, even though I can't stand Jeff Hardy, that match was pretty good up until that point.

So what does Joe do now? Does he wait his time, working some indy bookings, granted I don't know if his contract allows that or not. Does he ask for his release and work some indy bookings until it blows over a la Bryan Danielson, and on that note, just imagine seeing him and Bryan Danielsson wrestle in front of 500 people and the excitement that would bring to the wrestling world. Does he ask for his release and return to ROH? I see this as the most unlikely as ROH is essentially bankrupt and it would be insane for him to go there. Does he ask for his release and attempt to sign with WWE? And if he does, how would they use him? Would the stupidly put him in FCW and try to milk another season of NXT with him as the star attraction? I kind of would want to see that, just to see Michael Cole and Matt Striker pissing themselves at the fact that he might snap and kill them. In all actuality, if he were to go to WWE he would probably work maybe a month in FCW to stay in ring shape and then debut on WWE TV, but how would they use him, although his wrestling style is fine for TV-PG, his "gimmick" is not and I feel he would be used as a mid-carder like Christian, but man would they have some great matches, if WWE would let them.

Discuss....

Edit: It is now said that his suspension is only for one month, but this should still be discussed, because if he's not happy, shit could go down!
