Wish him the best tho. Maybe he can go somewhere else and actually wrestle. Maybe he wanted to in wwe and he wanted to be released bc he couldn’t. Who knows.

I RARELY agree with Jack the Jobber but DAMMIT HE HITS THE NAIL ON THE HEAD RIGHT HERE!!! I loved Joe's Corkscrew Plancha at Unbreakable. I wish he did it in WWE at big time shows like Wrestlemania and the like. Not only was that dive spectacular because of his big man agility, but he SAVED IT FOR THE SPECIAL OCCASSIONS THAT NEEDED IT! As much as I'm going to miss his in ring work and dread the fact that he never won a Royal Rumble, King of the Ring Tournament, or beat guys like Lesnar in a Submission match for either the WWE or Universal Championship; I think I'm going to miss his contributions to UpUpDownDown just as badly! Joe! We believe in the Power Game and we believe in YOU!!!

I would say a lot of things really, he is similar to Walter as he fits in almost any era which makes him appeal to everyone in a way. Now I think Walter is better in that aspect because I can see Walter in the Golden Era where I can’t with Joe. I think his wresting is also world class and he carries himself as a mega star in the ring and is brutal but uses his dive to the outside perfectly in my opinion, unlike a lot of wrestlers when Joe does a dive it has more impact due to the size of him and that he doesn’t do it often. Joe is also incredibly believable. Can he ACTUALLY beat Brock Leasner in a fight? No probably not but he makes it look like he can. Joe has this incredible intensity that brought out Brock Leasner’s best storyline since the CM Punk feud for SummerSlam 2013. Also to make it more sad these are the matches/feuds WWE missed out on Tribal Chief Roman vs Samoa Joe John Cena vs Samoa Joe Kevin Owens vs Samoa Joe Walter vs Samoa Joe Prince Finn Balour vs Samoa Joe Big E vs Samoa Joe Rey Mysterio vs Samoa Joe (not the 2019 version we actually got) Samoa Joe vs Bobby Lashly Samoa Joe vs Karrion Kross Samoa Joe vs Matt Riddle in a Fight Pit Samoa Joe vs Drew Mcyntyre Samoa Joe vs Sheamus What an absolutely crap decision to release him just to say “we had a nice profit recently, do you watch Raw?

Not because it's a particularly great storyline, far, far from it. It's pretty awful, all things considered, and in the hands of just about anyone else, it would go down as one of the "ugh, do you remember _that_ terrible idea they had?", while Samoa Joe just made you feel terrified by literally everything he does. The guy can sit down and read a made up idiotic "fairy tale" while sitting in an armchair and looks like the most terrifying thing in the world while doing so.
