Did Samoa Joe Evaporate?

[Charismatic Edge]

I haven't read any rumors or seen any reports about him taking time off. I watch wrestling every week and don't know how I missed something like that.

What plans does TNA have for him? Did they send him to a fat camp? What if he returns and he's solid muscle?

I'm thinking he'll be back for Lockdown on Team Hogan. At least that's what I'm hoping for. If you've seen this man please contact Dixie Carter.

Joe was walking outside to his car, and some ninja's came and kidnaped him. Tenay mentioned it the following week, but haven't heard anything since.

Sounds like yet another repackaging to me.

I've been wondering about the Joe thing for weeks, too. I hope it's a repackaging. He comes back 10LBs lighter, I'll be grateful. I want the old Samoa Joe back. W/ his original attire.

Send him to Smackdown to feud with Jericho. Stat.

 

[Kizza]

Quite possibly the worst sold angle I've ever seen.

Tenay: Joe just got kidnapped.
Taz: Yeah.

*Not mentioned again*

It was just, ugh. I can see him being transformed in some way, ala Ministry Of Darkness, but much, much cheesier and stuff.

Way too fat to just evaporate.

He will help the pope beat Aj at lockdown and he will have a new gimmick. That is my guess.

I
What if he returns and he's solid muscle?

I thought about that, it would be fucking awesome, lmao. It's pretty sad, really. He should be main eventing constantly along with Pope, Wolfe, AJ, Daniels, Beer Money, Hernandez, and someone like Jeff. I miss the cocky heel Joe that was feuding with AJ/Daniels, that was seriously sick.

It was a pretty lame way to get him off of television. Most guys in TNA are on one week then you just don't see them. They could have easily done this with Joe instead of making this stupid kidnapping skit. It would be different if there was a little more emphasis on it, but since it appeared like it didn't matter to anyone that Joe got kidnapped it certainly didn't mean alot to the fans either. Joe should be treated better. Hopefully he'll be back into a main role on iMPACT! soon. I am not a big Joe fan, but he is definitely better than Morgan, Hernandez, and those pointless Abyss ring boy promos.

Way too fat to just evaporate.

Of course he didn't evaporate, he vanished into fat air.

Seriously though, TNA is fucking Blue. Joe is kept off tv and Rob Terry is smoking chumps the way Joe should. Just sad.

I think Tomko is getting it worse than Joe lol

 

[Charismatic Edge]

^^Good point. That match on Impact against Terry was very odd. Tomko started becoming a better wrestler until he wanted back in the E.

If I didn't give out too much rep in 24 hrs I'd rep that post because Tomko shouldn't be getting squashed like that.

 

[noumenon]

Hogan had him chained to a treadmill dangling a cupcake and his career in front of him.

 

[Soul_of_Ruby]

Anyone else miss his old attire? The one where he'd have black on one side and red, blue, baby blue, white, orange, or brown on the other? That was perfect for him, imo.

 

[MizMasta3000]

Tomko packed on some pounds as well.
