That's not a fair comparison. AJ generally kept putting out good performances and stayed in great shape, Joe hasn't given a shit outside of a couple matches in years.

Same with Joe. They both have had the same match since 2008 or so. Really have not gave a fuck. That all changed for AJ when he left TNA. Dood revitalized his career. I wonder if Joe can do the same.

 

[Sibersk Esto]

I don't have a huge problem with some WWE reprogramming, since the schedule is brutal and some guys could stand to cut out some of the shit they did to get a pop at a gymnasium for 50 bucks.

 

[jmdajr]

Hulk Hogan in TNA was pretty much the end of Joe's career. At least that's how I remember it.

He was champ and gonna do all these great things and then poof, he was a nobody.

 

[bitesnintendog]

It is a fair comparison. AJ has been phoning it in since 2008. I shit all over him when he went to NJPW because he had destroyed what little merit he had by being involved in dull matches in the same promotion Joe was in. Joe has always performed the same regardless of his size. Joe had better, longer matches in ROH than when he worked under Hashimoto when he was much slimmer. If a worker hates his place of work or if he's not given room to perform, he's always going to have shitty matches.

2008 is a super stretch. He's only shown signs of unhappiness with TNA when Hogan and company came in and even past then hes had a number of good matches. Last year or so of his TNA run I'd agree but to say since 2008 is crazy.

AJ was champ when Hogan came in. Was supposedly finally going to get a long reign with the belt but than Hogan/Bischoff came in, made him Flair junior and made all the TNA guys look like shit.

Best part about this news though

everyone did almost nothing but shit on AJ and his gay community the last few years in TNA from what i remember reading.

Joe, well,

but comic book guy owens made it, maybe he can too

 

[Sibersk Esto]

I was under the impression the whole MEM/Nation of Violence stuff killed Joe's career

 

[kiguel182]

Totally missed that Joe left TNA. Now I get the whole "Joe should go to NXT" talk.

I only saw the tail end of his TNA career. I liked him, shame they didn't use him better.

 

[Macho Madness]

The "Hell Frozen Over" mix of Austin's music is his best IMO

TNA and most of the wrestlers generally get approached with nothing but apathy. A large part of that is deserved with how TNA handles booking but I think a lot of talent gets overly criticized due to association. The TNA shows suck from a creative standpoint but people have continued to have great matches in the promotion.

Talking about guys who wouldn't work in WWE,

Aside from his career in porn, AR Fox would never work in WWE. He would have to change his entire move set as 4/5 of it is designed to look like he's suicidal.

 

[slightconfuse]

AR Fox,wouldn't work,because he Fucking sucks

 

[Sibersk Esto]

ew AR Fox

 

[RBH]

Perfect :lol :lol

It's going to be weird seeing an enthusiastic Samoa Joe again.

 

[Deleted member 47027]

Hey Sephzilla:

 

[BoboBrazil]

Good on Joe for leaving TNA. He can go to Japan, ROH, Lucha Underground, and make good money and have better matches.

 

[Biggest-Geek-Ever]

 

[Data West]

I still can't believe TNA gave Chris Sabin their main title. That's not even flea market champion. That's salvation army champion.

 

[Sephzilla]

Hey Sephzilla:

I'm interested

 

[lovely ladies]

Fave Five Robocop games:

1. Data East Robocop 1 arcade game
2. Robocop vs Terminator Genesis
3. that's about it

I'm glad to find out that Samoa Joe has come out of hiding after his last appearance in Ring of Honor

Don't sleep on Robocop 3d

 

[Data West]

yep Robocop 3d is my second favorite behind Dada East's.

 

[Sephzilla]

I legit want a GTA styled RoboCop game where you drive around stopping crime.

fuck....FUCK WHY THIS DIDN'T HAPPEN BY NOW O_O???

 

[BronsonLee]

It was a 'Thanks for giving a decade of your life and both your knees' title reign though.

I like how everyone fucking cashed in on Bully Ray too

[Sephzilla]

but I want one that's good

 

[Roland_Gunner]

MAYBE a PWG appearance or ROH appearance, but I can't see ROH putting a major focus on a returning Samoa Joe.

If Joe was willing to work multiple dates for what ROH pays they would make him one of the top guys in the company. Given their finances, he'd probably more like Alberto and work a few dates and then put one of their guys over on PPV

 

[Alucard]

Samoa Joe is leaving TNA? Whoa. Any chance of him going back to ROH? Would be rad. Maybe even make it for the Anniversary show as an end-of-PPV surprise.

 

[RP912]

but I want one that's good

This one was good...just needed a crime fighting robot

 

[Aiii]

RoboCop 3 was awesome. I mean just look at how awesome this game was:

Robocop 3 - Classic PC game - intro + gameplay (driving and shooting): http://youtu.be/jhGkxtmcr_o

So good.

The main character is a robot though. Who fights crime.

I really liked the stealth base sequences. Everything else was pretty dull.

 

[Dick Justice]

It was a typical Ubisoft bar-filling simulator.

Speaking of Ubisoft, I recently went back to Assassins Creed 2, because I remember really enjoying it back in 2009. Man, after all of the rehashes and iterations of its formula, it hasn't aged well at all. It fucking sucks, essentially.

 

[bitesnintendog]

Pretty much. Assassin's Creed at least has some great multiplayer to save the main game.

Don't buy Canadian developed games. Stick with American and Japanese.

Words to live by. Fucking Owens, representing that scumbag company. Especially scummy when their boring-ass design philosophies seep into other games that could've been so much better, like Dragon Age Inquisition.

 

[RP912]

I hope the next Ubisoft game doesn't do that (find top of tower and satellite to see most of the area) bullshit. It's time to retire that dumb trademark.

Ubisoft Montreal was good when they were making Splinter Cell Chaos Theory. Rockstar Vancouver made Bully and Max Payne 3, which is pure TMF distilled into videogame form. But that's about it.

 

[Kaladin]

What was that 360 game where you were a superpowered cop and had full run of a open world GTA style city to fight crime? The name slips my mind, but that is close.

I'm afraid I've got some...BAD NEWS

Crackdown. I instantly thought of that for a GTA Robocop game but figured someone else would say it first

That was a damn fun game too.

Yep, last year there were 5 games with that mechanic and ,What the next major ubisoft game?
