Samoa Joe's gimmick is that he is your OG and will be respected as such.

The only Samoan in modern WWE history who didn't need Rocky's help to get that contract/push. The only one that I know of anyhoo.

His gimmick is visiting dining establishments and putting them out of business due to the large quantities of food he eats.

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. It's simple and has a ring to it, like "Samurai Jack." It is old-school wrestling goofy, but memorable once you see what he does to his opponents faces.

If he did, he surely couldn't beat Russia Alexander, Spain Rodrigo, and DEFINITELY not Nicaragua Fred.

Wash them clean off.

You're missing all the nuance of his character. He's not just a ninja abductee. He's a guy -- a SAMOAN guy -- who is so badass that he can get abducted by ninjas and just magically reappear with no explanation and no questions asked. Plus, his name is Joe.

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. Samoa Joetry? In all seriousness his gimmick is "the only Samoan not related to Dwayne"

He is the guy that will kill you if you piss him off Which means he's not a member here considering the many fat jokes we make about him.

I have a picture with him from when I met him in our hotel after Takeover London and people who don't know wrestling at all saw it and said "Blimey, I wouldn't want to mess with him!" And that was happy normal Joe.
So yeah his gimmick is "I can kick your ass"

Some things just sound better than others,usually if they are more obscure,it helps not think right away of the country
