Only if he losses 25 pounds, or turns 45 years old overnight. Those are tickets to World title.

I echo what HMark said. The Russo reign in 2010 and 2011 nearly killed Joe's career. Thankfully the new regime came in and rebuilt him to where now they can put him in a main event feud and no one would find him out of place (whereas in 2011 he was jobbing clean to anyone with a pulse).
He could have conceivably won the BFG Series and won the title from Bully if that is where TNA wanted to go. I think he needed 2012 to rebuild his value, and he did. Now he is back to being a main event player. It is whether or not TNA wants to push him to the belt.
Honestly, if/when they decide to give Magnus the title, I think it would be a good story to have him win it off Joe. In that feud, Joe always had the upperhand, and I think it would be a good story to have Joe win the title and then have Magnus finally be able to beat him.

He's a lost a step or two but Joe is still the Bee's Knees.

To me Joe is the only babyface in TNA that is actually "cool". Sting and Jeff Hardy are total spazzes. Kurt Angle has always been a dork, and now he wears those sunglasse and is in rehab. Magnus is just...dry. Styles is whiny and can't help but come off like a dick when he speaks for any substantial amount of time. Aries wears a cape and is still kind of a douchebag, even if he's a babyface. Joe's the laidback dude who cuts promos with a little bit of a smirk, but if you piss him off you're done.

I always thought that was something both ROH and TNA could've capitalized on more with Joe: his temper. Granted, Joe was such an icon in ROH that depicting him as anything other than just "Joe, the ultimate champion" was kind of a waste (he didn't need a gimmick by the time his reign was midway through), but the guy manages to come off as California laid-back while still seeming like the slightest transgression will make him snap a guy in half while screaming Samoan war cries. Again, it goes into Joe working as a heel or face: if he's the bad guy, then he can be the villain who always seems to keep him cool...so when he decides to break somebody, it can be done in a terrifying way. If he's the hero, then he won't let the heel get to him, but you'll have the crowd itching for him to snap and break the smarmy/evil/cowardly/whatever bad guy. |
