TNA Wrestling has suspended Samoa Joe indefinitely, reportedly due to bad attitude. Additionally, it is said that officials are unhappy with his weight.

As reported earlier, Samoa Joe was said to be very upset following his recent match with Jeff Hardy on iMPACT!, which ended in a time limit draw. Joe was furious following the bout because he felt the finish was given away by TNA having ring announcer Jeremy Borash say there were 30 seconds remaining when he specifically asked them not to. Joe hasn't worked for the company since the outburst, reports www.prowrestling.net. He wasn't on hand for last week's iMPACT!television tapings in Orlando. One source claims Joe yelled at production team members David Sahadi and Keith Mitchell, while others say it was Vince Russo ? who reportedly instructed Borash. Meanwhile, another source felt that Joe was right about the finish being given away, but added that he handled the situation poorly.

I dont think he will get a full push again then. Quite a shame really, he was definately getting a push but think this might slow it down.

Hope it doesnt as he is a great worker and very much over with the fans.

Hes one of the best workers they have and for me one of the most believable guys in wrestling. Im a big fan of his work and he should be contending for the title if not champion. Says it all about TNA at the moment imo

I was expecting this to be Hardy.

Yeah, was a good match, the time limit helped them both get over and look decent plus making their next (presumably PPV) match look exciting.

Also, wasn't Joe next on Angle's "list" to beat, be interesting to see them explain that one away.

And what the fuck has his weight got to do with anything?

AJ's next for Angle

Ah right, suppose Joe wont be in the "top 10" next week then.

His weight should have nothing to do with it. In all fairness he probably moves just as well as anyone and his weight doesnt stop him from flying about the ring.

He has been that weight for as long as i can remember anyway.

Whether or not Joe was right or wrong, it sounds like he conducted himself in the wrong manner and TNA were right to suspend him. If you don't take action it can easily lead to anarchy backstage.

As for his weight, it was never really seen as an issue til Hogan came in. Guess Hogan gets a bit too hung up on the look of wrestlers.

Seems like Joe got a bit too big for his boots. I'm not denying he's a good wrestler and draws fans but I'm sorry, in any workplace, you just can't behave like that. He's not bigger than the company.

Suspending him is not a bad way of handling this - it's much better than the WWE burial, which some wrestlers never recover from, or take years to come back from (Matt Hardy, MVP...).

Joe did act unprofessionally, but he definitely had a point. Although he's pissed about them virtually giving away the ending, I'd say as soon as he found out that a phone call from Bischoff was played over the first few minutes of their match wound him up too.

Don't see why his weight is an issue either - he's always been a big lad, and I can't remember him having problems about it before.

Coincidence that AJ gives a really rather frank interview at the same time?
Looks like the TNA originals are really starting to get narked off backstage.

Seem's like the TNA originals are sick of getting there nose pushed out of place:

During a recent interview AJ Styles answered questions regarding his TNA World Title run,the move to Monday nights, the HardCore Justice PPV and various other things. But the most interesting part is the one where he talks about losing the Title to RVD:

"I definitely didn't understand it.I guess I'm not the star that I thought I was here at TNA. I guess I'm just a TNA guy."


Don't blame them myself.

cos being teamed with flair is so unfair on him. Aj is a fucking trailer park christian mongoloid who rates god more important than his wife ffs. And joe has looked very unfit lately always seems knackered, its his current stamina that is bad. And of course you suspend a cunt if they go nuts at staff. Joe was starting a push too, came in and destroyed everyone ffs.
