-Samoa Joe recently turned down a three-year contract extension.

-TNA is planning to hold all 2008 PPV's outside the Impact Zone.

-The World Title Match on Impact achieved a 1.26 rating, higher than Sting/Angle. As previously reported, the episode acheived a 1.21, the best rating in TNA history.

1.21...point one higher, breaking glass ceilings.

Does that mean that Joe is still trapped till '09? In any case, w00t.

Is there even a place for Joe in WWE, with UMAGA~! lurking around?

I was thinking he'd go back to ROH. I don't think he'd be able to work WWE style very well. Him going back to ROH might attract a lot of TNA fans, making ROH a viable #2 promotion.

There's already some WWE fans watching ROH. I just can't see Joe in WWE in the near future. He would probably be way underused and be on the lower roster.

To paraphrase from Foley's showdown with Joe in ROH on what would happen if he joined WWE:

"Hell, now that Rikiski's gone, let's throw a thong on him and call him 'Raw fish eating Joe!' "

Too fat, not the tallest, and he doesn't have a gimmick. I doubt a man who has taken part in three ***** matches in the last three years will find his niche wrestling as a mixture of UMAGA~!~!~! and the Old Man from the sea.

I would love for Samoa Joe to go back to RoH. Now all Ring of Honor needs is to get him and mabye AJ Styles back and they'll be set.

Joe being used poorly in WWE would make him richer than Joe being used poorly in TNA has.

Besides, it's not like TNA needs him. Rosey's available.

I'm actually optimistic for Joe in TNA, because I figure this "Match Of Champions" thing will lead to Angle/Joe 4 at Hard Justice, where TNA will have no choice but to put the belt on Joe.

Honestly, I think Joe belongs nowhere. I haven't seen much of his ROH work yet, but none of the TNA work has really impressed me. I think my most blatant complaint is that he rarely sells offensive moves against him. His promos are like scratching chalk against a blackboard. He needs to slim down. I also get the sneaking suspicion that he's a jerk outside of the ring.

Well, Joe is a tad tubby. And his promos in TNA are laughably bad.

I think what would be kinda cool (if Joe had a chance in ECW) he can rekindle his feud with CM Punk. But I know that they can't pull of that great of a series in ECW than they did in ROH.

Deleted Pat's double post.

Oh, and for those who say Joe can't have a good promo in TNA:
