Well, might as well rename the Fifth Year Festival to the Samoa Joe Farewell Tour. This is easily as big a deal as when Punk finally had to say goodbye. Odd that it's happening in Liverpool of all places, but none the less I expect an incredible send off for Joe.
Who do you want to see him against in his final match? He's scheduled at some point or another over the next few shows to wrestle McGuinness, Rave, Davey Richards, and Morishima. Who do you want to see him go out against in Liverpool at the end of this?
I'd kill to somehow see another Punk/Joe or Ki/Joe match. KENTA/Joe would be great too. But who do you want?

If we're talking about dream matches, Punk/Joe would be the most appropriate match since it was one that made Joe famous.
But it's got to be something we've never seen so Joe/Misawa would be awesome

I think it should be Joe vs. KENTA since they've meant in a 3 way and in a tag match but never one on one. I think that would be really epic since your not gonna get Punk or Low Ki in ROH right now.

For a "poetic" ending, Joe would have to face Punk, Ki, Dragon, Homicide, or Austin Aries.
He just faced 'Cide, and there's no way Punk or Ki are gonna be there, and Dragon's nursing his injury.
Ergo, from the ROH roster itself, I really think Aries is the optimal choice.
Otherwise, maybe a surprise guest will come in, who knows?

Oh, I'd toss Christopher Daniels in there too. I mean it's happened 100 times, but it would be appropriate.

How about Joe winning the tag team titles and then dropping them when he leaves, ala Trish with the womens title? Its the only title that he hasn't won and I feel it would be a great ending for him to go out as the first ever ROH Triple Crown champion. Also, its a good excuse to get the belts off Sydal and Daniels, considering they aren't even defending them at the moment, and they could hold a tournament for the vacant titles afterwards (which the Briscoes should win of course). What do you guys think?

Actually Joe-Daniels would be good as Joe has a lot of history in ROH with Daniels

Well, with a bit of luck and a following wind, I'm gonna be there to see it live. I feel almost honoured.

Wow..if it's at all possible (I can work out hotel and the like) then my first ever live show might be Joe's last match..damn.
Fingers crossed though, heh.

Has to be against someone new, someone who REALLY needs just one final shove into the main event. But I can't really think of someone who would fit that bill right now. Delirious wouldn't be a good choice, and he's already made his mark. Sydal would probably be a great choice match-wise, but would also be a little bit...underwhelming as a last opponent (plus, he was already KENTA's "last" opponent). Romero and Danielson are unavailable, he's already facing Nigel the night before (which is a really good opportunity for passing the torch to a new top face)...Aries maybe, KENTA would be great if possible...Daniels, Richards, nah...
Who does that leave? Whitmer, I guess. I could see Gabe booking Whitmer to go over Joe in his last match, even if I wouldn't exactly WANT to see it.
EDIT: Thinking further...it HAS to be Roderick Strong. I can't imagine it being anyone else.

Joe/Kobashi, and make Kobashi use the Burning Hammer, and have Joe use Hashimoto's moveset

What do you guys think? I like that idea, especially since if these first few shows have been any indication, who knows how many defenses SyDaniels will have. But Joe doesn't need the W, when there are a ton of guys who by beating Joe could really benifit. But then again, I'd love a Tag Title Tourney. |

I was thinking that since this guy still works FIP, that Jay Lethal may be brought in to work Joe's final match.
Too bad London can't wrestle him for a DBD I rematch.

Joe vs. Yoshiaki Yago. But I'm probably the only person that would consider that option.
