Samoa Joe Arrives at WWE NXT Takeover: Unstoppable

How ironic is it, that on the day Destination America is rumored to be cancelling TNA Impact Wrestling that one of TNA’S biggest superstars in history finally makes his WWE debut. At the conclusion of the Kevin Owens-Sami Zayn match, Samoa Joe came out rescue Zayn from any further beating. The arrival of Samoa Joe to WWE has been a long time coming. I believe WWE is really starting to head into a way different direction. They are signing on big guys who have more then five moves and can work circles in the ring. Samoa Joe along with Kevin Owens are two big men who have so much agility it’s ridiculous. 

For those who don’t know of Samoa Joe, he is a former ROH Pure Champion, ROH Heavyweight Champion, and held every title and honor you could think of in TNA Impact Wrestling. I considered him the face of Ring of Honor and TNA during his time at both places. He’s been wrestling since 1999 and hasn’t stopped since. I look at the Samoa Joe signing as a sign of what WWE did in the 80’s. WWE took out all the territories and it seems that NXT is grabbing the absolute best of what is outside of WWE now. 

So you now have Zayn, Balor, Itami, Owens and Joe who dominated the indy scene for so long all under one roof. Guys like Punk, and Bryan really paved the way for a lot of this to happen. You can also thank Triple H, William Regal and the rest of the NXT coaches, trainers and scouts. They all know what the fans want. They are in tune with what today’s wrestling fans would like to see. Signing Joe has definitely put NXT over the top as an elite and superior pro wrestling brand. I look forward to seeing what Samoa Joe does in the WWE Universe. I suggest you start watching NXT otherwise Joe is gonna kill you!
