I watch a lot of wrestling with my girlfriend since I introduced her to it a couple of years ago. She doesn't really care about your workrate if she can get behind the gimmick, and she asked me a question that stumped me - the one in the title.
What does Joe have going for him that you can't find anywhere else? I really can't pinpoint anything he has that is actually unique.
What are your guys' opinions?

he's a monster heel that is agile as hell for someone his size.
There have been others over the years but currently he is really the only one in WWE at the moment like that.

His name is Joe. He's from Samoa.
I'd argue his gimmick is that he doesn't need anything more than that. His actions speak for themselves.

His gimmick is looking like he wants to kill your entire family.
I think he's mastered it.

Submission master and dangerous striker that can bully the small guys and choke out the big guys. He is extremely short tempered and when pushed to the edge for any reason often cares more about inflicting pain than winning.

Angry Samoan fat man with a volatile temper and enough knowledge to tear anyone apart if he feels like doing so. Like Brock but fat, basically.

I'm sorry, but it's hard for me to take someone with a name like 'Samoa Joe' seriously.
That name sounds so generic and, to be honest, it sounds like a user name that a basement-dwelling internet addict might use on forums.
It sounds like a total jobber name.

He's the gooniest goon that wrestles regularly for WWE. Is that not enough?

He once wrote a fascinating post on his Myspace regarding this. I think it only really came a couple times overtly in his TNA run (his Samoan heritage(no, we're not counting the Nation of Violence), but he mentioned that he drew inspiration from Samoan warrior poetry. Namely, it influence the mix between brutality and grace you witness in Joe's work. In the ring, he's an absolute monster that strategically dissects his opponents. Yet, contrary to the stereotypical expectations of a meathead with a vaguely ethnic gimmick, he presents in promo as this highly articulate, highly thoughtful man.
Dunno, it's hard to express adequately, but when I read it I recall it inspiring me a lot.
