Samoa Joe: Why Would I Waste My Time On Challengers That Aren’t Excellent? That Dulls My Title’s Shine
Samoa Joe doesn’t want to waste time with people who suck.
Joe’s reign with the AEW World Championship is approaching the one month mark. Many fans will argue that Joe’s reign with the belt has been one of the best title reigns in the company, even in the short amount of time that he has had with the belt.
Challengers such as Swerve Strickland and ‘Hangman’ Adam Page are currently gunning for Joe and his championship. While speaking to WrestleZone for a new interview, Joe was asked if he has a preference who who he’d want to face
“No, man, here’s how it works. This is why we’ve established this new protocol. This is why we brought back in the committee to handle these things. It’s because, listen, I’m the type of person that can’t have things that are not excellent around me. So if you have not excellent challengers around me, that just dulls the shine on my championship. Why would I want to waste time with that? So with the committee, you have to show up, you have to produce results and actually be excellent to be in my presence. As long as we keep that protocol in effect, I think we’re giving the very best to the fans of AEW because I can’t stand when people suck. It is the worst thing ever, having people that suck in my vicinity. It sucks the energy out of me, just watching their un-excellence just ruin my day. So as long as we keep the sucky people as far away from the vicinity of me, the champion, the epitome of excellence, then I think everything will work out great.”
Elsewhere in the interview, Samoa Joe praised HOOK and said that he’s a dangerous young man. Fans can learn more here.
