Unstoppable: The Best of Samoa Joe

Recommended Posts

http://www.tnawrestling.com/fullnews.php?home=514

Samoa Joe is on the cover of the upcoming Pro Wrestling Illustrated magazine, set to hit newsstands on March 28.

 

Speaking of Joe, we’ve got a rough list of matches that will be included on his upcoming “Unstoppable: The Best of Samoa Joe” DVD, coming out this summer. Depending on the total length of matches and bonus footage we’re planning, we may have to cut some of the “iMPACT!” matches (see below). TNA producers interviewed The Samoan Submission Machine for over an hour last week in Orlando for the DVD on a wide variety of subjects including growing up, his family, his background and more. There are also tentative plans for bonus footage featuring Joe training at the New Japan dojo in Los Angeles. The match listing thus far for the DVD is as follows:

 

Slammiversary – June 2005

Samoa Joe’s debut vs. Sonjay Dutt

 

No Surrender – July 2005

Samoa Joe vs. Chris Sabin

 

The 2005 Super X Cup Tournament

Samoa Joe vs. Sonjay Dutt (First Round)

Samoa Joe vs. Alex Shelley (Semi Finals)

Samoa Joe vs. AJ Styles in the finals at August 2005’s “Sacrifice”

 

Unbreakable – September 2005

Three-Way Match For the X Championship

AJ Styles vs. The Fallen Angel vs. Samoa Joe

 

Bound For Glory – October 2005

Samoa Joe vs. Jushin “Thunder” Liger

 

Turning Point – December 2005

X Division Championship Match

AJ Styles vs. Samoa Joe

 

Final Resolution – January 2006

X Division Championship Match

Samoa Joe vs. The Fallen Angel

 

Against All Odds – February 2006

Three-Way Match For the X Championship

Samoa Joe vs. The Fallen Angel vs. AJ Styles

 

Plus, “iMPACT!” matches featuring Samoa Joe again Delirious, The Amazing Red, Roderick Strong, Jay Lethal and Jerrelle Clark.

 

We’ll have further information on the Samoa Joe DVD in the upcoming weeks!

 

Looks like I picking this up when it's released.

WAAAAAAAY too soon. Sure, he's already had plenty of awesome matches in TNA, but he hasn't even been with them for a year. It took how long to give Styles his when he'd been around since the company's conception? Jarrett and The Truth still haven't gotten one, too.

 

Pulling the trigger too soon, TNA.

Most of his Impact matches are like the same week in and week out

 

and half his PPV matches are just extended "Impact" matches, I agree with the "too soon" comment.

 

Maybe when he's had truely great matches with others than AJ & Daniels in TNA.

Eh. I would have waited a little longer on this product. I would have included the upcoming three way Ultimate X match, which Joe is going to lose, I can almost gurantee it.

I like Joe, I just don't get to watch Impact or the ppvs, so a DVD is great. However, if they were able to do a joint ROH DVD to include those matches, that would be great. Also, I don't know which fed this was in, but that match with Kobashi would be nice. But that's if we lived in a perfect world.

Yeah, ROH will let TNA use it's top selling match so TNA can make money off of it.

 

They might use some of the same talent (and that amount is dropping), but they aren't working together.

 

ROH, has two best of Joe's volumes but either include his big matches (Punk triology, Kobashi, Danielson...)

They did say this was due for a summer release, which means it's at least 3-4 months away, maybe more. IMO, that's acceptable, because it can highlight Joe's year full of dominance. Plus, why not strike while the iron is hot?

So I get a DVD full of stiff kick - stiff chop - stiff suplex - muscle buster - rear choke? I'll pass, mostly because as stated previously, Joe wrestles the same match almost every week on Impact. Sure he makes his attacks look like they could kill, but he needs to mix it up a little every now and then.

The Truth's DVD was compiled with the 3LK dvd. But yeah, I agree this is too soon/

They can always release another one later. I've never seen a Samoa Joe PPV match, so I'm looking forward to seeing this.

Lol. Well, if people will pay for it... why not?

Do you have something against Joe Leena?

 

No. I do usually enjoy watching him... at least in his usual PPV quality matches against the better wrestlers. When he's squashing people and being booked like Goldberg, it's just not believable and exposes him.

 

My comment was more laughing about how there's a Joe DVD out already. The only good matches that got any real time in there are multiple matches against AJ and Daniels. And seriously promoting his Impact squashes as something people should pay for.

What no UPW, ROH, or Japan matches? I'll buy it anyways.

Jeff Hardy had his video drop after being in the company for 2 months.

Well...he's been around longer than Christian...and Christian is getting the next one IIRC

 

I hope they have his pre-WWF matches on it. I'd love to see some of his indie matches with Rhino and Edge, oops I mean Sexton Hardcastle.

Why would those matches be on a TNA DVD?

 

Besides, if you want Joe in ROH he already has two best of's.

I won't be picking up this Joe dvd, only because I already have most of those matches on video, dvd, computer, etc.

 

TNA needs to stop using the same matches on multiple dvd releases. That Joe/Sabin match is already available on "Best of the X Division" vol. 1 and I can promise that if they do a volume 2, a bunch of these will be on it as well.

To see the progression of Joe's skills from company to company. This video does show him training at the New Japan Dojo of LA, why not show his matches from UPW.....you know you can never have enough Joe vs Christopher Daniels!
