Last week WWE released a number of talents from the roster, and many fans were surprised to see that Samoa Joe was among the talents who got cut.
The fans aren’t the only ones who were shocked when they heard the news of Joe’s release, as his former rival Kurt Angle also shared his thoughts on the subject during a recent episode of the Kurt Angle Show.
Angle was asked if he thought his matches with Samoa Joe were the best matches from his run with TNA, and that’s when he noted that he was surprised by Joe’s release.
“Without a doubt, him or AJ Styles. Samoa Joe was a lot more physical. We had a more physical type of match. AJ was more athletic. Joe was a very intense individual and I’m surprised they released him. Especially with Bobby Lashley right now, they need some guys to go up against Bobby and I thought Samoa Joe would be a great person to represent that spot, but unfortunately, they did let him go and I’m not sure why.”
