We'll probably get a promo for him at NXT Takeover: Unstoppable

I really would be more excited for this if it was like seven years ago. Now...meh.

I think with the right setting, things to work towards and a fire lit under his ass. Joe would be great again. You could tell the last 4-5 years he was simply resting on his laurels.

Eh. He'll have some decent matches with Zayn, Balor, Breeze and Owens, but I'm really not excited about a 37 year old Samoa Joe run.

Excited for a NXT run for him, however, worried for when/if brought up to the main roster.

I don't care if this would have been better years ago. I'll gladly take Samoa Joe in NXT/WWE today.

Really got to think he'll be asked to get at least a bit more in shape. But knowing Joe he may not wish to do so. Let's face it, his Samoan metabolism won't help matters.
I think he should be menacing in his debut, and don't mind if he looks tubby. Not everyone has to be ripped to be intimidating.

Too little too late for this. He's 37 years old. He better not steal a push from guys like Breeze, Zayn, Balor, etc.

If his music doesn't start with the Godzilla march then don't even sign him. Also I hope they just let him be Joe. They don't like giving people first and last names anyways.

He will probably be asked to wrestle with a shirt on. WWE isn't very kind on physiques like Joe's.

He should debut at the next love special, May 20th or so, right?

My thoughts on it are simple:
Sting came into WWE far past his prime, it should have happened years ago and would have meant so much more.
Joe is no Sting. But, seeing Sting finally appear in a WWE ring was so satisfying because it just looked and felt right, even if the timing was off, the opponent wasn't the dream opponent and he lost his first ever match. It just felt like "finally".
I can't help feeling that after seeing Generico, Devitt, KENTA, PAC, Steen, Danielson and Punk all make it to the big leagues, it's only right to see Joe there. After years of being mistreated in TNA, finally stepping out from behind the curtain onto a WWE stage (even if he never progresses beyond NXT) will feel like Sting finally turning up at Survivor Series, but smaller.

Why NXT? Surely Samoa Joe is one of those guys that could be brought straight up to the main roster.

Have any of you guys seen the match with Jay Briscoe? Joe is every bit as good as he once was, it was TNA that was past its prime......
