Samoa Joe

He hasnt been seen or heard off since he was kidnapped by 5 other people. I dont even think he has been mentioned since that night, but I might be wrong. Any ideas when his kidnapping is going to be acknowledged and who is behind it?

He has been mentioned by Taz a few time's but not that much. It smacks of "we have nothing for you at this moment in time" to be honest.

Knowing TNA, he'll just re-appear on TV, and nothing will be mentioned about it ever again.

Could be the Spirit Squad 2.0...well you never know with TNA and the rumours of Kenny Dykstra joining the roster!

Seriously though, it wasn't mentioned on the 8th of March edition but I do think Hogan or Bischoff are behind it though. Maybe Bischoff has kidnapped him and tries to convince Joe to return to his Nation of Violence ways (not that I watched TNA during that phase) in order to control the Sting/Wolfe/Flair/AJ group that may form over the next few weeks?

I think he deserves to be a big main event player at TNA. I dont feel like he is getting this. It will become more difficult for him to break in with the signings of Hardy, RVD and the push of Abyss.
I hope something comes from this angle and perhaps someone else who isnt doing anything can be behind it, Raven, for example.

Cheers Bosch. Rocky, I wouldnt put it past Bischoff being behind it, I remember him being on the phone alot that night. He will probably make it something to do with his confrontation with Bischoff in the championship match.

im a big fan of Joe and if this angle leads to Joe getting to be a multi time champ then im all for it however him being kept of tv is a sign they havent got anything for him yet

i do feel Bischoff is going up against Hogan after watching last nights episode

Maybe hogan picks a team say RVD,Hardy,Abyss,Pope & Angle Vs bischoffs team Wolfe,Sting,AJ Styles, Anderson and Flair

Not seen last nights episode yet, will watch it when it comes on here. I would be all for Joe becoming champ but that would mean that Styles is involved in the kidnap otherwise him coming back and becoming champion would be confusing.
Would also be all for Hogan against Bischoff, I sensed this when Hogan came to save Abyss from Bischoff and co.

doesnt need to be AJ behind it could be bischoff and leave Joe taking on his goons for a month or 2 then have Joe have a title shot

Good point. I hope the goons are people like Raven and Dr Stevie because they are doing nothing at the moment and it would be good for them to get back in the ring. I cant see Aj staying champ much longer, he has been champ for a long time now and I think he will drop it to the Pope at Lockdown.

thats where my moneys on Pope to win it although i dont think he'll hold it very long

Hopefully if he does win it will extend his fued with Wolfe but cant see it going much longer. There are a lot of people in TNA that could be champion within the next couple of months. The booking is all over the place.

true it is all over the place but im sure it'll sort its self out

also kinda keeps you guessing who will be champ next

Yeah I was going to say, it is easy to confuse but easy to keep the fans entertained at the same time.
People who would be credible champions in the next few months:
AJ Styles
The Pope
Desmond Wolfe
Samoa Joe
Kurt Angle
Mr Anderson
RVD
Sting
Jeff Hardy
Abyss
Jeff Jarret

The list could go on. I put Jarret but doubt he will be champ again, still good in the ring though.

i do feel if Jeff Jarret was champ again it would really play along nicely with his story line will have to be a long time again but could happen be a kinda dream story some one whos had to start from the bottom and work there way up

I can actually see it folding out like that towards the end of the year/start of next year. Cant see Bischoff giving it to him, but I can see Hogan calling Bischoff out about it sometime down the line and giving him the opportunity.

think he'll be back before lockdown next month as he's face was shown in the promo video for it after the popes it showed AJ,Abyss, The Pope Then Joes

Still not a mention of Joe, he got kidnapped live on TV for God sake, MIA's in North Korea are getting more coverage than Joe, terrible angle

They better come up with something good for his comeback after this. Tenay and Taz did a shite job of commentating on it when it initially happened and now they don't bring it up at all. If he just comes back with no mention of it whatsoever then I'm turning off and not tuning back in.

a kidnapp with no ramsom or anything

Very true Bosch it hasn't been very well thought out at all. I mean if Taz and Joe are such good friends why isn't he worried about it. If I saw one of my mates being bundled into the back of a van I think I'd be a bit worried

they could at least get the police seg in there where they come down check out the video evidence and take interviews from people close to him like Taz

Perhaps Taz is behind the whole thing nah I think it shows, as mentioned, that TNA dont have any ideas for him. If done well however, this storyline could be very good, with Joe fighting off his kidnappers and revealing his horror to the iMPACT zone, mabye with scratches/bruses/stitches

he could do that but i can see him returning heel cos TNA didnt even care when he got kidnapped they didnt try getting in contact with him or help out his family trying to find him
