Update on Samoa Joe's status with TNA

With Samoa Joe negative 10 points in the Bound For Glory Series, there has been a lot of speculation that TNA had something big planned for him to come back and climb the rankings before October's PPV. The word is that's not the case and there's nothing behind Joe's poor performance in the Series.

It's said that the current regime within TNA sees nothing in Joe right now and creative doesn't really have anything for him. Joe will likely stay in the spot he's been in for a while. As noted before, those close to the situation note that Joe is considering seeing what WWE has to offer him once his TNA contract expires in the future.

LOL They've got nothing for him, but they have something for a bunch of guys past their prime.

In the words of Michael Cole: vintage TNA. SMFH

I am not a big Joe fan, but he is talented and he has been with TNA for a long time. They really should do something with him.

Ditto.

Not a huge fan either, but he brings something to the table; and I can respect that.

The thing he has going against him in the modern era is he's a home grown talent instead of being someone who had been established in WWE or WCW. You don't have a chance, these days, in TNA unless you were a star at a bigger company first. Guess what it takes to make serious money there, too.

And this is part of why TNA hasn't managed to develop into a true alternative to WWE.
