TNA requested that Samoa Joe leave ROH for a number of reasons. They want to give him the NWA Title soon but they have fears that he could be injured while working for ROH. They also want him to focus more on dates that they have booked for him. This could include international dates for New Japan as well as AAA in Mexico. Joe may be back in ROH sooner or later for one shots here and there but it won't be anytime soon. They are however still allowing Homicide, Austin Starr and Christopher Daniels to all work for ROH since they aren't currently used as top stars in TNA.
If this has been posted I apologize..I checked the first three pages and didnt see anything.

Sadly, I guess it makes sense, but only because Joe has shown himself to be somewhat injury prone over the last year.
I mean, AJ Styles was NWA Champion and still showed up regularly in ROH, but AJ also didn't have two pretty nasty knee injuries within one year.
It sucks, and I wish like hell it wasn' the case, but it makes pretty sound business sense.

The sad thing is it makes total business sense for TNA. But, if it means Joe gets the strap, you won't hear me complain one bit.

Hmm well at least we'll see him in NJPW and AAA.
Look on the bright side we'll see Joe vs Nagata, Tanahashi, Liger, Giant Bernard, and Nakamura.

eh I'm still not totally buying it. If it's injuries, why say he's quitting when he can be honest and say he needs to cut back and cannot physically still compete at a ROH level?

Because from ROH's perspective would there be more impact concerning Samoa Joe leaving, or just saying "see ya, I'll be back later dudes". ROH want this to be seen as a huge deal, it's smart business. They're going to sell more tickets in the farewell tour, and DVD sales if people believe it's the last time Joe wrestled. |
