Aftermath
So,
Break Time

Alot has happened since the last entry, damn near too much to fit into an entry and requiring even more energy to recant. SO I give you some random verbage.

- I apologize for those who felt my encounter with Liger was not up to par. I will say that TNA wanted it to be, but circumstances sometimes effect the outcome of everything on the show. I will commit myself to make it up to you the fans in the coming weeks

- How awesome is Showtime Eric Young? More than you can even imagine

- I really wish I could be out in CT for ROH but personal commitments are preventing me & believe me it feels MEGA WEIRD not being at a ROH show. Alas the level of talent in ROH these days I doubt I will be missed.

- Australia F&^%$&% rules.

- Kenta Kobashi, we have to do this again somewhere down the line.

- Dave Batista... Ehh its not even worth it, I hope your opinion of others made you feel better about yourself.

- The Warriors rules, speaking of games hopefully TNA's will be happening soon.

- ROOR!

Onward and upward folks. I will see you when I get there.

S. Joe

	Given the time frame, you & Liger performed well. And I agree, Eric Young is da man. (Reply to this)

	The entrance for the Liger match was incredible, and made the whole PPV seem like a BIG DEAL. I understand why the match had to be shortened, but it was too bad you didn't get to put on the kind of show I know you can do. Thanks for the hard work you put out for us fans!! (Reply to this)

From the Batista thing, I assume you mean Batista's interview were he unfairly bashed TNA. I don't know if you've read Dave Meltzer's comments on it in his newsletter, but he totally destroys Batista's lame quote about how TNA is "not wrestling". It was such a great read, Meltzer just ripped into Bastita's ignorant mentality about only one style of wrestling being "right". Btw, I can't wait to get to see Joe vs Kobashi on DVD, it's one of the DVD's I'm most anticipating at the moment. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Man, thank you so much for that incredible match with Kobashi! The best we when you kicked him in the head no more than two feet from where I was standing. Please continue to give me more opportunities to give my money to you. (Reply to this)

I heard from others that the Liger match wasn't *quite* the spectacle we were hoping for, but Joe, I got the show JUST TO SEE IT. I was not disappointed. Sure I'd have liked to see you two kill each other for 40 minutes and tear the house down, but TNA wanted to open the show with it and it was short. So be it. You put on a hell of a show. I've watched you live or on tape maybe 25 times now, mostly ROH, and you have never failed me as a performer. EVER. You and Liger had a solid, logical match with good psychology and good athletics. Don't apologize. You *are* pro wrestling right now. (Reply to this)

	aerorock7 2005-10-28 03:51 am UTC (link)
	Yeah Joe we sure will miss you in CT becaue no matter how great the roster is (and it is damn good) Samoa FN Joe will always make it that much better and thats a fact. I hope whatever you are doing on Saturday is awesome though and God knows if anybody could use a day off its you. Keep kicking ass man and thanks for always being such a class act. Take care Joe.

	Joe, You have no idea how happy I was to see you and Jushin "Thunder" Liger in the same ring. I marked out like a little school girl and was the hilight of the show for me. (Reply to this)

	_callingthemoon 2005-10-28 04:43 am UTC (link)
	Well, I know I'll be missing you this weekend in CT, but I know I'll see you again sometime soon. Hopefully you'll be back in Boston in January and at the next CT show. Besides... I'm still trying to make it to a December show too, so maybe I'll see ya then. Best of luck with whatever those personal things are. I hope they work out for the best. (Reply to this)

	Hey Joe! Great to finally meet you the other night. I thought you and Liger did great at the PPV. Thanks for the beer, see you at FIP! (Reply to this)

	psychotopia 2005-10-28 05:26 am UTC (link)
	Joe - Glad you enjoyed Australia, was awesome seeing you take on Test at the Melbourne show! and the less said about that walking case of jock itch Batista the better. (Reply to this)

I'm here to help... kurometarikku 2005-10-28 05:27 am UTC (link)

Joe, If you are really afraid of being missed, fedex me a pair of your tights (washed please) and boots, and I will dress up as you for halloween. My build is more unhealthy than yours, but I dare say similar enough for me to pass. Of course my ethnicity is a problem, but I would imagine I could spend several hours between now and Saturday night in a tanning booth to appear at least that pro-wrestler shade of orange. I will be the TNA version of you, so I won't have to speak, and will wear a towel over my head, so nobody will notice my face or hair. That'll be a kinda silent shout out to Taz, too! Sincerely and You're Welcome, KM P.S. My mother is an experienced seamstress, if something doesn't fit me, I am sure she can alter it. (Reply to this)

Batista _brash_ 2005-10-28 05:42 am UTC (link)

Joe, you never fail to amaze me. That was such a classy response. The thing I love about Batista's comments is that he said he had never seen a TNA, but he had seen a press conference and wasn't impressed. Then he said he'd seen clips of an AJ Styles match and said "that wasn't wrestling." Course, he was judging an entire match based on a compilation clip...Yeesh. Still, Joe you remain a classy, gentle man. We're gonna miss the heck outta ya in CT. (Reply to this)

joe_greatness 2005-10-28 05:43 am UTC (link)

Good to hear you're doing well these days, Joe. I've not watched your match with Liger, but I will be doing so one of these days. Am really looking forward to it, no matter how long the match lasted. If you're coming down to Australia to wrestle again, mind stopping by Perth as well? XD XD XD As for Batista, just forget about him. That narrow-minded ego that guys like Triple H would have has finally gotten to his head. All the best in everything you do, Joe. You know we all love ya. (Reply to this)

p_frank 2005-10-28 05:49 am UTC (link)

I don't think anyone could have done a better job in the amount of time you were given for the match with Liger. I still thought it was great, but I just wish it was longer as you do too. I'm sure you and Liger will get another chance to have a match that goes the distance. And yeah, the entrance was great, nice to see some of the island heritage on display. Sucks that I couldn't afford the trip from Auckland to see you in Australia but still looking forward to seeing you wrestle when I'm in the states next July! (Reply to this)

Man Fuck the hater's Joe. I thought Bound For Glory was a great PPV and I enjoyed your match. You should know by now that if its not a 40 minute match with 200 near falls then the Puro marks won't be happy. I mean it was one of those true dream matches. You took on a legend and you whooped his ass. How many guys can say they made Lyger pass out? The only thing I hated was the fact that you got eliminated because it would of been a great end to the night if you kicked Jarrett's head off. (Reply to this)

	dust_wind_dude 2005-10-28 06:03 am UTC (link)
	Can't wait to see ya in Chitown again, champ. I can't wait to see the Kobashi/Joe battle on dvd. I hope it lives up to the rave reviews or else I'll cry...immensely. That's not a pretty thing, Joe. Live richly, brah. (Reply to this)

	joe, you the man. The entrance to Bound for Glory was awesome. you make all us polynesians proud! (Reply to this)

	morbius72 2005-10-28 09:20 am UTC (link)
	Your Bound for Glory entrance started the show marvelously. I still liked your match with Liger very much and I am certain most of your fans did too. As for Batista, he lost a lot of fans that fateful day. (Reply to this)

	nancykitten 2005-10-28 09:20 am UTC (link)
	Eric Young is an underrated worker, agreed. If I was Batista, I would be jealous of AJ Styles, too. Batista is a WWE product, chosen from the start to be a golden child: AJ Styles and yourself are self-created; you worked hard to get yourselfs over and have stiff, realistic matches. Batista can be buddies with HHH, but really, we know the difference. (Reply to this)

cocacoladreams 2005-10-28 09:42 am UTC (link)

Im looking forward for the TNA game, if not just cause of you Joe! wattaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! I really love that TNA wrestler...whats his name? oh yeah yeah, the Samoan Submission Machine! Dont worry, I know Liger and you can do better any time you go one on one. And I think the match itself wasnt that bad. Plus, you were way over in the ppv. Lets see if they dont give you the belt one day, for you to drop it 2 days later. You gotta hate owners when they wrestle as well. Batista is another case. The guy aint humble. He tends to speak about others guys, taking their value away from them, because he knows he can get to the most of the marks. Saying this, I think Batista should look to himself, and see that if it wasnt for his "pilled body" and alot of marketing from WWE, he wouldnt be the champ. I dont see psychology, nor great moves, nor a great selling from Batista in a match... There are WWE products that do well. Shelton Benjamin (a bit green, a bit too botch spoty, but ok) for instance. Batista just doesnt come in the list. But ill be honest, Im looking forward to seeing more from Lashley. I hope your ok Joe! Thumbs up from your Portuguese friend.
