I think by 2012-2015 he just stopped caring entirely. When he went to NXT he was in much better shape, putting on good to great matches regularly even up till like 2018. Edit: Everyone in my comments only seems to remember his main roster run or his 2 Nakamura matches. He put on an amazing triology with Balor and was Balor's only Takeover loss till recently. Watch any of his matches in NXT, he was motivated and part of those 2 golden years for NXT. Was he ROH Samoa Joe, no, but he wasn't 2014 Joe. Idk if it was the money or the fact he was taken seriously but the passion was really there.

Not simply petty hypocritical. Parodying Arn Anderson’s retirement and mentioning his alcoholism?

TNA not making Joe and AJ THE FOCUS of the promotion starting with building them to the two biggest stars in 2006 was a HUGE mistake. You have two young guys, who are incredible in the ring and put on amazing matches, and you instead keep bringing in WWE Re-treads and pushing them to the moon. Why? To try and get instant ratings? All TNA had to do was look at WWF in 1996/1997. They knew they werent super popular and needed to grow, so they built new stars and pushed them up the card (Rock / Austin / HHH / etc) and then took back over as the biggest promotion in the world. Im not saying TNA would have reached those heights, but if they would have taken time to push THEIR guys, while using some WWE re-treads along with them it could have been really good. But Joe and AJ should have been the focus of that promotion from 2006 going forward. They could have grown from there as their own product instead of a BS crappy WWE cast-offs show. If they would have been patient and let ratings and stars grow, who knows what we'd think of TNA today......but in the end, they would make the same stupid mistakes TIME and TIME again....it was a joke.

The thing that made it stupid was Scott Hall’s unreliability was not a secret by 2006. But let’s bring him back for another run then be shocked when he no shows’s

After a few years, I think it became obvious that it wasn't Joe or TNA, both sides just gave up on the other after a while. Vince Russo recently stated in an interview that there would be times where Joe would show up to tapings having slimed down and gotten in shape. Then others where he would be 35 pounds heavier and walking like a fucking turtle. While Joe being in bad shape is Joe's fault, Joe also clearly had issues with the way TNA did business. With the way Joe tore in Scott Hall for getting paid a shit ton of money when he was no showing dates or his scathing promos of WCW guys taking TNA spots, he clearly didn't like what TNA was doing. So I think its just a case of both sides slowly becoming more and more tired of the other.

If I had to sum TNA up it would be self-deprecating.

Wow, a lot of restraint not to use "HE'S FAT!" Anyway, I think Joe kept getting fatter was a lack of motivation due to the company not caring about him, so that apathy meant he shouldn't care about himself. Lack of motivation leads to lack of self-care, leading to weight gain, loss of dedication to exercise and cardio, and him looking all pasty and crud. Then he goes to NXT, and all of a sudden, you see a glimpse of what people were talking about when he got his act together. His main roster run in WWE is another story, but let's pretend NXT was a revival.

When you think about it TNA really had such an incredible roster pre-2010's. If I was forced to pick four, the Mt Rushmore would be Angle, AJ Styles, Samoa Joe and Abyss. But it really feels wrong to leave out Christopher Daniels, Amazing Red, Awesome Kong, Bobby Roode etc.

I think the TNA mount Rushmore is Jeff Jarrett (for founding the company and being the first top guy) AJ Styles (for pretty much being THE TNA guy for most of his run) Sting (for being TNA's dependable Legend, in terms of work rate he was their Undertaker) And Matt Hardy (for making Impact relevant again in it's darkest times) I think Sting can be swapped for Christian Cage, Bully Ray, Scott Steiner, and a few others who built themselves somewhere else but showed they weren't good hands but great main event talent. Oh this is excluding the Knockouts Division if you include Knockouts then the answer feels obvious to me: Jarret, Styles, Gail Kim &, Awesome Kong.

TNA Mount Rushmore: Samoa Joe, AJ Styles, Christopher Daniels, Abyss. All 4 were crucial to the early development and prime years of the company. You think of TNA and these are the first guys that come to mind. Honorable mention for guys like Sabin, Shelly, Low-ki, Amazing Red, Shark Boy, Eric Young, Bobby Roode, James Storm and of course, Kurt Angle. 2004-2008 were the prime years of the company. Even with all the flaws they had, they were a truly great alternative to WWE at that time. In fact, by 2006 I'd thrown in the towel with WWE and was a full-time TNA guy for about a year or 2. TNA had an enormous amount of potential. You can't just blame Russo for what went wrong. There had to be some key players behind the scenes for many years that always held back the company and stifled progress, and we just don't know their names. It's still astounding how many times they blew their chance at breaking out and becoming a major player.

My Rushmore of TNA: Kurt Angle, because Perc Angle hit different. Jeff Hardy, because of Victory Road 2011. AJ Styles, because he’s a flat earther. Finally, Jeff Jarrett, because his daddy bought him his spot.

What happened? TNA never trusted Joe after the Scott Hall incident. Either that or someone higher up resented him for it. He basically peaked after he beat Angle for the Title. By the time Hogan came in, Joe was used as a guy to get new guys over. Joe caught on and he sorta went auto pilot too. His ROH years were better for sure. By the time WWE finally gave him a look his body was so beat up that he kept getting hurt.

Angle being the one to snap Joe's unbeaten streak was a terrible idea. Angle was already majorly over, he didn't need that rub and could have gone to someone else.

Wrestling fans usually say a guy who's already over shouldn't Beat the Streak because a younger wrestler with the potential to be a big star should have done it,right?🤔 That's the problem, the key word is potential. If a wrestling company has a young wrestler do something incredible like beat an "undefeated" wrestler because they think he's going to be a big star, that doesn't mean the fans are actually going to see him as a big star and then it happens?😑 that wrestler that just did something incredible will start getting less time on TV, will begin losing matches on regularly and then even might find himself out off the company. That's why wrestling companies always go with an already-established STAR. Not just established but HUGE MEGA STARS. That's why TNA went with Kurt Angle, that's why WWE went with Brock Lesnar for Undertaker streak

AJ Styles, Samoan Joe, Cowboy James Storm, Jeff Jarrett. Honorable mention Awesome Kong, Gail Kim, Kurt Angle, Abyss

Angle was better than Jarrett.

Samoa joe, too much loyalty. He should have went with any other company. Go back to japan, roh, try for fcw, etc. I feel he just was in a stunk because he knew tna wouldn't do anything really with him so why bother? He lost that fire to keep trying.

My TNA Mount Rushmore: AJ, Jarret, Angle, Storm.

Whose "genius" idea was it to turn Sting heel after he had already totally flopped as a heel almost a decade earlier in WCW?

1:28 okay that was pretty nice of you, nice complements lmao

I will always say the in ring work was cause of the dumbest bump in wrestling history with the Dropkick on the stars at BFG (I think) against sting. Like seriously who the TF thinks about doing that and thinks it’s a good idea

I can't believe smarks actually thought TNA would overtake WWE. Lol.

Scott calling him a half breed was so fucking funny and this cooming from a mixed person

I can't believe how many times he hit the muscle buster and never hurt anyone and all of a sudden Tyson Kidd. That's crazy

Great video Mr Hawk x

Your rant on Jo had me in stitches. Gloriously blunt hahaha

"Joe would remain on the Raw commentary team until the April 12, 2021 episode when he was replaced by Corey Graves." - Hawkipedia ... imagine getting replaced by Corey Graves... the shame of it... ouch.

Joe is one of the most underrated stars in wrestling and I hope he signs somewhere and gets some kind of push.

Ey Hawk, got an odd one for you: How about The Hurricane’s short ROH stint in 2018? I think you’d enjoy the matches, and given he’s a former cruiserweight, I think your perspective would be awesome.

My TNA Mount Rushmore eh? Well it would have to be AJ Styles, Christopher Daniels, Kurt Angle, and Christian.

It's shameful how they ruined Joe. Then again he left and went to WWE and got the same treatment there as well.

The hawk is not over cuz the 🐦 is the word ha still over ask Peter Griffin

Sadly while Joe could’ve been used better by TNA he wasn’t great wrestler since 2008. He was... good, but not at the same level as before. So its kinda understandable why TNA management stopped putting much effort into him.

Elix Skipper gave his life to TNA and nobody talks about him.

Oh God I forgot they actually had Okada at one point!!!

Aj because come on he was TNA. He was and is the guy who really broke out and became a star in TNA. Angle because he took TNA up a level and and made them a legitimate company. Samoa joe is on the list because behind AJ he was a main stay and even though he lost a lot of big matches he was in big matches all the time. And Gail Kim she really started the women's revolution on her own and was having incredible matches with people who didn't deserve to be in the ring with her.

I think instead of Joe it should be Christopher Daniels. Daniels was there from day one like AJ and no matter who he was in the ring with he was pure money, and he would do any crap gimmick they gave him like curry man and suicide and have them over like rover, and the come back as Daniels again and wow the crowd every night. It’s a crime he never got a world title run

Joe was a beast in his ROH/TNA days

TNA Mount Rushmore: Low blow, Ref bump, guitar shot, the stroke. Just 4 Jeff Jarrett faces carved in stone.

Well...The "Shove it Squad" exists now Brother! 👍

I’m really drunk and incoherent. But because I’m on the hawks team I’ll still like and comment this video before watching it.

AJ Styles Robert Roode Christian Cage Jeff Jarrett Reasoning: AJ is a shoo-in as TNA's golden boy; I wanted to include someone who TNA developed into greatness and it was to be either Roode or Austin Aries, with Roode having the stronger case for it; I also wanted to include someone already great who came to TNA and had the highlight of their career; this is where everyone would say Angle (or perhaps Sting) so instead I went with Christian, besides merely being different I would excuse my choice by saying that Angle had done so well in WWE (and Sting in WCW) that they could justifiably put him on a Mt. Rushmore of their own, whereas Christian really seemed to come into his own in TNA - and Jarrett needs to be there, however much I wish he didn't, with there being the added bonus that his presence connotes Joe and Angle. If you really can't stand him, swap him out for Abyss.

Hope I find your TNA backstage recap video someday lmfao

Motor city machine guns, aj, Jeff hardy, broken Matt hardy... there's really no arguing these 4. The machine guns count as 1.

My TNA Mount Rushmore would have to be Angle, Styles, Sting, and I guess Jeff Jarrett. I never really understood the appeal of Joe and his lack of progression as a performer since his glory years really shows. I never really saw him as world champion material but to each their own.
