Samoa Joe responds to rumor that he'd rather be in WWE.

Samoa Joe posted the following on his official website in regard to rumors (not reported on PWInsider.com) circling around his TNA tenure:

"Former X-Division champion Samoa Joe has been telling people that he would rather accept an entry level WWE contract (believed to be $50,000 per year), rather than resigning with TNA. Joe is not happy in TNA, and doesn't want to stay with the company when his current contract expires."

This statement is untrue because of one tell all reason. "he would rather accept an entry level WWE contract (believed to be $50,000 per year), rather than resigning with TNA."

Buuuuuuuuuull*****, Are you crazy? I really really like money! You see, the goal as a career pro wrestler is to work hard, make money, and hopefully have a life that is somewhat of a comfortable experience in your latter years. Do many of us succeed? Well, no but a Kid can dream can't he?

The only reason why I choose to openly refute this rumor is because in all honesty it makes me look SO UNCOOL around the office! I mean when you make up cool rumors that make me seem all super rebellious and anti authority I just ride with it, but when you make up rumors that I am going to work just as hard for less money, well that just make me feel that you think I would be dumb enough to do something like that.
In closing,

My name is Samoa Joe
and You can watch me & TNA Wrestling on SPIKE TV..

I think Joe wants to say that it's true and that he wants to go to WWE with that contract, but doesn't want to be fired by TNA at the same time.Total-KO

Thats what it sounds like to me too, hopefully he does get signed by the E. I'd rather see him dancing like an idiot, or doing whatever the other one the_dude said than being in TNA.

thats a big kick in vinces crotchbilljakybob

What Joe is really trying to say is that he would never even fit in WWE. He is way toshort & stocky to be a true pro wrestler. He wouldnt be able to cut it in the WWE! Stay with those little guys in TNA. Keep your $35 grand pay check.BadMrSnake

Your sarcasm is almost killing me.

i reckon joe would get a abd reception from tna fans, shud he go to wwe, but as everyone else says, thats a kick in the crothuler area of vincent kennedy mcmahon

No... it isn't? Joe is just using common sense, work same for less money? No f'n way. If McMahon wanted him McMahon would get him with the right price.

Joe will remain on the indy scen working at ROH and a couple of promotions, I think the "big lights and publicty" was too much for the guy! imagine how he would cope in WWE with all the boogers and embarassing storylines over the Chairman finding his "illigetimate son" comparing that to TNA!Howell123
