Samoa Joe should lead a stable of badass security guards that tower over the NXT roster. Every match is a lumber jack match featuring Samoan Security as the lumberjacks who just completely manhandle the NXT developmental trainees like Adam Cole and Kyle O’Reilly who start to lose their passion for the wrestling business as a result. Eventually NXT transitions to a security guard training school for local Florida malls and events

Joe's new role is an expression of a long standing problem in WWE culture: the management is more badass and tougher than the wrestlers. While its not as ridiculous as say Vince McMahon beating C show champs via gently caress finishes, it still makes the wrestlers look like loser geeks. Cole should have knocked Joe's rear end out and declared he was gonna fight Shanky or Quagmire to prove he's tougher than Kyle O'Reilly.

If that was the case and Joe is healthy to compete, I don't understand how Tony doesn't close this deal.

If Joe is actually just going to stay in NXT, then this deal is probably preferable for a larger guy who probably does not enjoy squished air travel. Even when in non-pandemic times, NXT is always in Florida except for Takeovers when they're attached to a main roster event, right? So he may have essentially cut down his amount of air travel by like 95%. Even in a non-wrestling role with AEW, he'd still have to fly somewhere at least once a week. (this all assumes Joe lives in Florida, which is what I assume for most WWE folks) Wasn't one of the reasons Lance Archer left New Japan for AEW due to the long flights and how uncomfortable they were for him with his history of back issues? Sure, he still has to travel for them now but he's not doing those 16 hour flights at all.

I don't think Joe entertained any serious offers or was contractually obligated to hear WWE's offer first. TK absolutely would have come through with anything Joe needed to keep healthy or happy.

He made like one tweet about "Getting through this non-compete" and then went quiet pretty much immediately. I think HHH probably reached out to him quickly and he just didn't want to go through all the rigmarole of changing companies. I have a really, really hard time believing AEW wouldn't do what they needed to get Joe if the opportunity was there, whether he can wrestle or not.

I think Joe didn’t have a ride to the unemployment office after getting fired so the company could report earnings that were like $100,000 higher 2 quarters from now and Paul Hunter asked him if he wanted to hop on the back of his motor tricycle and it was then that Joe learned who his loyal friends were

MJeff posted:2nd gen, I should be clear. That's the thing, though, anywhere he comes in, he displaces someone else. On a show that's overflowing with talent to the point that they are already wasting folks, I'd rather let Joe stay in NXT and do his thing being an authority figure and pulling a paycheck to wear a suit on TV. If it were 2005 S'Moe Joe coming into AEW and kicking Lance Archer out of his spot as third-best monster, I'm down, but post-TNA stairs bump Joe might as well rest up and feather his nest egg with WWE money. Take WWE for all it's worth until something changes there, or AEW gets a second show. Edit: I will admit defeat on commentary, though. Joe in as commentator would be pretty great.

AEW found use in signing Sting, Christian Cage, Paul Wight, and Mark Henry. It seems silly to presume they had no interest in a generational talent with friends and peers in the promotion who has always been regarded highly in multiple aspects of the business and can maybe still go. Its ok to lose some. Its ok to speculate that maybe they hypothetically missed out on a talent they wanted. Who knows? But lessening Joe feels unnecessary.
