^^^^ Aaaaah, I've seen that.


....And Cena couldn't get Daniels a shot having been jerked by TNA? ...Man, I'd love to have seen Daniels take it to the big stage.

Sucks for Daniels, he never had the charisma to make it as a top guy, but he certainly would have been a solid mid card hand in WWE. But at this point in his career, it's almost over for the guy. He's basically 40 and will probably never get a chance to show his stuff. Who knows, but it's not like he's a Finlay or Batista.

Daniels is in really good shape, especially at 40. Great wrestler and a great promo. Just the intangible "it" factor he misses dearly and keeps him from being a bigger star. Plus his body has an odd shape to it that WWE probably doesn't like. He'd have to even himself to get more than a look from the 'E.

Gimmick-wise, Fallen Angle vs The Dead Man coulda been so so sick!

That said, agreed, I couldn't quite see Daniels (or Joe for that matter) being a bonafide ME-er in WWE.

I think Daniels signed a contract with ROH.

Hasn't Joe been employed by WWE already? I mean, yeah he's got credibility now that he didn't have a decade ago... fans will have a clue who he is and he could be brought in with Cena to help establish his character completely... but he's not exactly the kind'a guy who can just show up one day in the 'E in a match, he'd have to make a HUGE impact, almost something along the lines of filling the role of a "who put Taker in a coma" kinda deal if he's not going to get a boost from a teammate Cena trying to dismantle the Nexus or something of the sort.

Joe did work some dark matches and some matches on Heat/Velocity. Honestly if you are expecting Joe to come in and be main eventing right away it's asking for too much. Now, I am not saying I wouldnt be all for it but odds are if he comes in he would either be an NXT guy or have a Del Rio esque hyped debut, which could be great for not only him but the WWE as well

GODDAMNIT NO! What a fucking idiot. He doesn't even have the sympathy factor on his side anymore. He continues to re-sign with a horrible company that treats him horrible.

Let's be fair to him. he needs the money and TNA guarantees a steady paycheck. Usually when guys in TNA go to WWE, they have to at least get some hints that the WWE will be interested.

I think I'd rather be homeless than work for TNA.
