Well, Samoa Joe announced on Twitter last night, that he was parting ways with TNW/Impact Wrestling after 10 years of working for them.
I was more surprised that he stuck around this long, after they botched his initial push back in 2006.

They didn't seem to really do much with him the last few years. I hope he goes somewhere that will showcase his skills. I doubt WWE would use a 35 year old fat Samoan guy, even if he is really athletic. I've always like watching that type of wrestler including Yokozuna, Big Boss Man and Umaga.

Bullet Club, with NJPW. They've been promoting their shows here in the states through GFW. I'd love to see Joe vs Tanahashi, with Jim Ross calling the action.

Jim Ross makes every match seem more special. I love the videos of his voice commentating on non-wrestling stuff. Priceless.

I'd love to see Joe go to NJPW. Or NXT - even if they don't sign him, he'd be a great special attraction (think: what Rhyno's doing now) that could help get over Kevin Owens.

Didn't watch TNA too much I'm more of a WWE guy. But Samoa Joe had some serious talent for a big guy. I hope he signs up with NXT or something.. But I doubt it will happen just because of his age.

I expect to see him going to NJPW to either join or feud with Bullet Club. AJ Styles is there, and is doing great. Imagine Joe versus Kenny Omega...
I don't see Joe signing a developmental contract with WWE, especially considering how things went with Punk/how tight Joe and Punk are/were.

Joe should go to NJPW which would help ROH use him and not have to pay all the finances. Or he could do the rounds in PWG, PWS , SMASH etc... Don't think Lucha would use him but he has a lot of options. I pray he doesn't go to shitty WWE but hey if the paycheck is good and he wants to end his career where he doesn't have to wrestle just talk talk talk... I don't blame him.

Man, I haven't either considered Lucha Underground. I'd love to see that, actually. HIm vs Son of Havoc/MDog, would be great.
