If you aren't familiar with Samoa Joe, you have some catching up to do. If you are familiar with his work in TNA, you still have some catching up to do. Joe's matches with Kenta Kobashi and CM Punk in Ring of Honor are absolutely legendary. I bet Joe felt like a million bucks when Stone Cold claimed to be a huge fan of his work and especially his work with Kobashi. Joe vs Kobashi was the very first Ring of Honor DVD I bought and I was instantly hooked. Joe's size makes him unique and his strength and endurance make him look unstoppable. They discuss where his name comes from, which is a pretty funny story. They also discuss Joe's journey through wrestling to television and the current state of wrestling.
The interview is a good hour and two minutes including commercials and an intro, but its completely worth getting through. It's definitely for fans who consider themselves insiders and gives an insight on how cool Samoa Joe really is. Austin brings up a good point where he asks Joe why TNA isn't 100% behind him, and push him to his full potential. I wish Stone Cold Steve Austin, Jim Ross, William Regal and Jake the Snake Roberts pooled their money together and started a wrestling organization of their own. They know real talent, and they all absolutely love the business and would put together something special. I know these are only dreams, but a man can dream right? Anyways, download this pod-cast onto your phone, iPod or whatever and give it a listen. If you like what you hear, check out Joe's work on youtube or ask me to borrow some DVDs.
I give this pod-cast 3.98 out of 5 Burning Lariats.
