Re: Samoa Joe's TNA Contract, Lethal Update
Let's not get delusional now. If Fatty Joe goes to WWE, you know they're just going to put him in a crap outfit, perhaps a singlet, make him dye his hair, and then job him for several weeks, bench him for several months, and then release him w/ only a small online announcement.
As for Black Machismo, it has created a huge push for Lethal. I am at a point where I greatly prefer TNA over WWE, b/c of certain characters. When I hear Black Machismo's music hit, I know I'm gonna see a good match and see a fun over the top character. (It's kindof like Santino - except Lethal can wrestle). I did not like seeing him break character for the award. It's like Tyler said, it seemed like stupid timing. I was fine w/ him pushing the match, but pushing the match and breaking character should not have been the entire basis of an award speech.
I dont know why anyone would want Lethal to drop the gimmick. He's a boring as fuck without it, to the point where i even skipped past bits involving him.
Write it on a t-shirt
Write it on your heart
It’s a long, long road
But tonight we make a start
You gotta trust your vision of the visibilty
If you wanna make poverty history
There is no doubt in my mind that if Joe didn't re-sign with TNA that Vince would try and sign him. I don't really think that Vince would job him out neither. I think that he (Joe) would more than likly be placed on the ECW brand and work his way into a fued with CM Punk, who also isn't WWE size big and has done quite well in ECW. I may be a little delusional here but I doubt WWE would give Joe a gimmick since he also used his name in RoH an in WWE when he appeared on Heat.

I always thought that if any guys who were known as being "tna" could make it in WWE, that it would be the Alphamale. Sure he wasn't as tall as Vince might like, but he was still pretty muscular and would be a big enough guy to fare well in the mid card if nothing else. But we all see how that went.
