The Real Reason For Samoa Joe's Absence From TNA

The reason given for Samoa Joe's prolonged absence from television is that management wants him to lose weight ? at least 25 pounds. Suffice it to say, he's none too pleased with their request. Joe has not appeared in a TNA ring since the Feb. 18th edition of iMPACT!when he was abducted by ninjas in the parking lot of the Impact! Zone.

It'll be good for him long term, he is great in the ring so having a bit less weight to drag around with him will do his stamina better and he will move a lot more quickerand freely too, plus the less weight he as the less chance he has of being repackage as a non English speaking Samoan who only eats RAW chicken

never thought of it like that really i read the story and laughed

ah crap predicted him to return at the PPV, any chance i can change that to no he's not returning

They'll change their minds when they realise how valuable he is......or at least used to be.

I think they shouldn't of asked him to do that if im honest. He he quite quick for a big lad and i think thats is one of the reasons people like him so much, his ability to move around the ring.
