Great except for his nonsensical Bret Hart bashing.

Last night, Austin tweeted:

WWE should sign @SamoaJoe as soon as his TNA contract is up. One of my favorite workers in today's game. Needs a full green light push.

This morning, Joe replied:

@steveaustinBSR Much appreciated. *tips cap

There are always a few entrances that can't be topped.

Hogan's "Real American"...starts off soft...the crowd pops crazy...but then the music picks up with a huge guitar riff and Hogan comes storming out of the back like a crazy man.

The Undertaker...maybe the best entrance in the whole damn thing. Especially the later incarnations with fire and druids and fuckin ay, its all amazing. I went to WrestleMania to specifically see this guys entrance live and it did not and I fear never will disappoint.

HHH...everyone hates HHH, and for good reason, but Lemmy and Motorhead cranking out The Game is epic. Fuck you if you think otherwise.

Bryan Danielson coming out to Final Countdown and having a whole room sing it together.

Sandman's Enter Sandman...coming out through the crowd, drinking beer, and spilling it over everyone...Sandman falling off random objects he tried standing on.

If Joe lost some fucking weight and gave a fuck again, he'd be a beast. But, I guess TNA has a way of wearing you down...now he's a sloppy fuck and doesn't give a single fuck.

TNA is the land where veterans who don't want to work go to collect a paycheck for doing very little. Everyone over there seems like some grade A lazy fucks.

The Simmons piece:

Edge & CM Punk are not original songs but he doesn't realize it. Nitpicky, I know.

Pretty WWE centric, but he splashed in some ECW & WCW so I will cut him a break. He's writing for the masses, and I understand that.

Samoa Joe:

Why should he give a fuck? Ever since he "tripped over the bad booking" its gotten worse and worse. I don't blame him for mailing it in.

Joe could hit the switch if he wanted. But we will never see 2005 ever again because he's over 30 with a body type that won't age well, he works for TNA, and even if he goes to the WWE he will just be asked to do dumbed down 6 minute TV matches like Danielson. But I have no doubt they would be good 6 minute matches. Like Danielson.

[EmpireWF]

Simmons doesn't know who Lemmy is, when he knocked 'It's All About The Game' lol

Plus he shat on Bret's 90s music. The hell?

And dude...Danielson could very well be the Heavyweight Champion in the WWE sooner rather than later. lol. Not so bad.

For Joe, it wouldn't be too bad as long as they don't doll him up as the next Umaga.

saw some older pics of Danielson, he looked pretty bad ass with that goat. He actually has been working with Extreme Cotoure and said get ready for new submission moves.

Once you shut it down its hard to turn it back on

[Kuzzy Powers]

I know im in the minority but I actually think Joe would be better off in the E. NOTHING is going to ever be positive again for him in TNA, or for TNA in general, and if Joe comes in a little better shape and with the right attitude he may even be able to make a little noise in the E because he has good size.

McMahon should bring Samoa Joe in with Haku and say he's Haku's son.

but Haku was Tongan ... Tongan Joe?

[JayDizzle]

Just send Joe down to FCW and have him squash all the smaller guys.

Did the same shit in the indies and his early TNA run to look unstoppable.

Make Joe a heel at first while he's killing cruisers (set up a match with a Spike Dudley-esque underdog if you want to get heat), put him with a cocky heel that uses Joe as muscle.

Cocky heel gets too overconfident and pisses Joe off.

Joe turns on Heel, murders him to go babyface and have him win the FCW title over it.

Simple.

Alright, W2B...don't read on until you watched the Davey-Eddie match...finally got around to watching it.

Match was good...very good. I do dig submission style wrestling and this was that and nothing but that. There is a sequence in the middle of the match starting with Eddie dropping Davey on his back on the ring apron...then this amazing back and forth of double stomps that had me on the edge of my seat. The end falls a little flat. I know what they were going for, and it worked, but for a match like that, I was hoping for more emotion out of it.

Really solid match. Loved it. Definitely must see material.
