Samoa Joe is an opponent that I really wanted to face in the ring. There was a time when you never thought that you will able to see Samoa Joe in a WWE setting but that has changed and this can be considered to be one of my fantasy bookings.
Austin Aries, A.J. Styles, and Samoa Joe are all super talented, and all three of them have earned everything they've gotten.
I think any company that gives Samoa Joe an opportunity is going to benefit and be happy. I think Joe is a great performer.
The only thing Hulk Hogan ever knew was how to make Hulk Hogan. He couldn't tell you how to make AJ Styles or Samoa Joe. What's Hulk Hogan going to tell Samoa Joe? He doesn't know anything to even tell him; he's got zero to offer.
I think you can be tough and aggressive with facts in a way that you cannot be tough and aggressive with emotional retorts. Most of the people that try to be tough on TV are really just being emotional and not factual.
I've always been a huge mark for Samoa Joe.
I look at Samoa Joe, and I've told him a number of times that I see his stuff at 'NXT' and think to myself, 'Man, I could have a great deal of fun with you.' He's a guy I have sort of enjoyed, and one of those sleeper guys that no one talks about.
Samoa Joe is a good friend of mine, and I'm very impressed with his in-ring abilities.
Outside of North America, best football? Is Samoa North America? Probably Samoa. I'd say Samoa. Germany's certainly up there.
Every time Samoa Joe and myself have stepped in the ring, we've always created a little bit of magic.
I had to use a lot of the lessons I learned from fighting Samoa Joe and apply them to Bray Wyatt.
Imagine you put Brock Lesnar/Samoa Joe and Roman Reigns/John Cena on WrestleMania. Sold.
I always go back to my days in NXT and look at my feud with Samoa Joe. That was one of the best periods of growth for me.
There's definitely pieces of Samoa Joe in the Seth Rollins repertoire, so it's cool he's part of the company now - something you thought you'd never see.
Pittsburgh was a great team. Coach Noll, Joe Greene, Jack Lambert, L.C. Greenwood and all those guys did a great job. That's the team that kept us from winning two Super Bowls. It was a great rivalry.
Listen, I have a great affection and respect for Joe Biden. I think he's been a great vice president. He's taken on a lot of tough assignments for our administration.
