Everyone comes crawling back to ROH after they are disregarded by TNA.

Well TNA didn't let of Joe, I bet TNA wanted to keep him he left because he wanted to have a new journey for his Wrestling career.

Even if TNA still wanted him, they weren't really using him like they used to. Same story as Bad Influence.

I gotta agree, I was highly upset when Bad Influence left TNA because they had it all even as a older tag team.

That's because he's not half the wrestler he used to be, he's gone massively downhill this past two or three years which can be accounted somewhat to poor booking decisions. He might bring that quality back in ROH, guess we just gotta wait and see.

I'm hoping with Joe it's motivation. He had a great match with Aries at Slammiversary a couple of years ago, & then Angle a month later. Just depends how up for it he is.

I think it is, he was one of the best wrestlers in the world in 2005-2006 and I think his strong booking and strong character development led to him being motivated. I hope ROH can bring that motivation back.

Word is Joe has signed for WWE NXT, thus why he isn't taking indy dates past April.

Also, one of his ROH matches has been confirmed as against Kyle O'Reilly. If Joe is ready to go, that could be nuts.

Yeah should be fun to see how it does wtih O'Reilly. If he is signed with WWE, I wonder if they are going to change his name. I mean Samoa Joe is pretty dope of a name to use.

Why do I see ACH hopping over the Turnbuckle, Joe catching him and swinging him head first into the post?!

Elgin vs Joe, they have a similar type of moveset and size should be a good match.
