"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!

Fain's Video of the Day

This video is one of my most memorable moments in wrestling history, and its hilarious. In this video we see the poor bastard Jake "The Snake" Roberts get smashed in the head by a guitar from the Honky Tonk Man. The thing about it is that someone screwed up and replaced the prop guitar with a real one, and when Honky hits Jake with he guitar, holy shit!

The Innovator of Bullshit

Tommy, Tommy, Tommy. You fucking sell-out piece of shit. That's right, I'm calling Tommy Dreamer a sell-out. You come out on Impact and read Vince Russo's script to perfection, because there is no way in hell that came out of your mind because you have obviously lost it.

Do you really expect us to believe any of the shit that spewed forth from your mouth. "I hated sitting idly by while my friends got fired." Dipshit, your friends got fired because in all reality they have no wrestling talent and their relevance had expired. But, the more likely scenario is this, the were not adaptable to the money making PG rating. Think about it asshole, if Vince doesn't have any competition, he doesn't have to push the edge of the envelope, which means he can get higher priced sponsors for tamer TV. Shitty yes, but bound to happen. Why would he pull out the good stuff now when he can wait for when he has a challenge.

And you, Tommy, and "EV 2.0" are not that challenge. It's going to suck, and suck badly. Why? No Paul Heyman, and no Vince's money. Paul Heyman MADE the 2005 and 2006 One Night Stand PPV's work. And don't give me this fucking bullshit that it was Vince pulling the strings because I seriously fucking doubt that Vince wanted Paul Heyman talking about smoking pot with RVD, or calling out JBL and his title run or Edge and his infidelities. Vince was surely standing at the Gorilla Position, but Heyman was running the show. Yes, Vince killed the ECW TV Show by taking over the writing for sponsorship money, but we already covered that and Tommy sure didn't seem to be complaining about the paychecks he was cashing while he was there. He was just too much of a pussy to sit in the back and help the next generation of superstars.

Tommy we all know that the reason the original ECW lasted as long as it did was because Vince was putting some of his WWE money into it, and now you think that TNA is "gonna do it right." Excuse me, but they can't do TNA right, what makes you think they can do this right?

Side Note: has anybody ever noticed that the really good TNA storylines are run through and end up shitty, and the shitty storylines take forever and just get shittier, if it wasn't for quality matches I'd think I was watching an episode of Thunder.

Tommy, go fuck yourself and take the rest of those has-beens with you. Haven't you noticed that anybody from that era with real talent, except for RVD and Jerry Lynn, is staying as far away as possible? You are the first person to sell-out and leave WWE for so-called greener pastures in TNA, yes other former WWE talent was there before you, a lot of former WWE talent actually, but they seemed to be genuine in there promos speaking against WWE, you seem like Mr. Lincoln at Disneyland and somebody is just programming the words as they come out of you mouth. I hope you enjoy your "One Last Stand", I'm gonna get Battlefield Earth from Netflix and watch that instead.

The preceding blog was strictly the opinions and views of one man, and one man only, if you disagree or were offended, you shouldn't have gotten this far into and you can take you want/need for an apology and suck it.

The picture is property of the writer and publisher of this blog and is posted sideways to show the state of TNA as he sees it, it is from a TNA even from about a year ago and this picture was taken about 5 minutes before the first match, another great crowd for TNA wouldn't you say?
