WWE can be incredibly frustrating at times, but these last two NXT specials have brought out the inner fan in me and reminded this cynical fan than there is nothing in entertainment as good as good pro wrestling.

Samoa Joe in WWE. Owens getting a PPV match with Cena. A strong womens division (in NXT). New Day Rocks. What a time to be alive.

I'm glad he gets to keep the name. Sounds like Joe and Bill Behrens were able to negotiate a unique deal for Joe.

I never would have guessed it AND I've heard the news over the last few months. He was the guy that was too big, not the right Samoan, too indie, too TNA, too old and all these other things that made him not WWE. For him to not only join but to actually be SAMOA JOE and not a WWE creation, I'm gobsmacked. I cannot wait for him against Owens and hopefully Sami as well.

This is all still way to surreal for me. I just can't believe it. The fact he's also called Samoa Joe as well I got goosebumps mang

Yeah, were calling him Samoa Joe on commentary and he had both a shirt and an entrance graphic saying it. They called Kenta by that name on his first appearance, and gave him a one night only Titantron. However, the shirt is not something that can be changed in aweek, so that would seem like a good indication. Now all we need is Gunner, Abyss and Ken Anderson. CAN I GET A HELL YEAH?!!! Only if Gunner takes out Blake and teams up with Murphy.

I'm more of a casual wrestling fan since 2002, but always been a big fan of Joe. Some might say it is bad timing since he's past his prime, but it appears to be the opposite. It's perfect time, as NXT has really given the indy guys a real chance.
If Joe gets to keep his name, then even better for him. Hope they use him well.

I love a great staredown and that was EXACTLY how I pictured it. Up there with the Angle vs Joe one.
Loved the Regal and Owens part as well, bless Regal for trying to stop him. That headbutt looked deadly.
I am still shocked. I don't know what to say. Just absolute insanity. Can't wait to see what the tapings bring tomorrow night!!!!

I thought CM Punk was going to be the last guy in the WWE to own his name for a long time. Welp this means I should see the PWA show featuring Samoa Joe before he works WWE full time I imagine

Can someone make a joke of how much I marked at the picture of Joe and Owens face to face?

I'm willing to bet that a big part of the contract negotiations was Joe wanting to keep his name. He probably only signed if that condition was met.
f***ing cool to see him on NXT!! While I hope he does end up on the main roster, there are several guys I want to see him work with first. As I said in the show thread, I can't wait to see the spoilers for the next few weeks tomorrow night!!
