In this segment of Chair Shot Reality, Justin LaBar and Brian Gulish discuss the freshest and hottest name on the free agent market, Samoa Joe. Many are speculating The Samoan Submission/Suplex Machine will land underneath WWE’s umbrella, but Joe is not without options. LaBar and Gulish discuss the pros and cons of Joe signing with WWE, compared to staying on the independent circuit.
Several questions must be addressed. If Samoa Joe is interested in signing with WWE, where would he fit into the already loaded roster? Would Joe accept a role in NXT? The path to the main roster starts at NXT for all superstars, but could he be the exception to the rule? LaBar and Gulish answer these questions.
Another overlooked aspect is the amount of money big name talent is currently making on the independent circuit. Joe’s name carries weight in the industry, and he could position himself to call his own shots. Would Joe be better suited to work his schedule, on his time, and still profit?
One fact can’t be denied. Every athlete wants to get to the top of the mountain, and WWE is the top of the mountain. A factor that could play into Joe’s decision. LaBar and Gulish breakdown what’s best for business for Samoa Joe’s future in this segment of Chair Shot Reality!
