In fact, I love any and all combinations of Joe-Styles-Daniels . . . they can do no wrong.<BR/><BR/>I also agree that Joe vs. Rhino has the potential to be awesome . . . although I would bet that Alpha Male Monty Brown runs in for the screw-job DQ or No Contest next week on Impact, setting up a triple-threat-match for Hard Justice. I really hope that they eventually book Joe vs. Rhino one-on-one on PPV . . . Brown strikes me as inferior worker of the three.<BR/><BR/>And while I agree that no good can come from Sting and Jarrett competing for the NWA World Title or headlining PPVs, I will mildly disagree with your take on Scott Steiner. I thought the Joe-Steiner feud was well booked, although not maybe not convincingly blown off. The fans were into it, and I thought they actually produced some physically intense, crowd heat inducing matches. Equally noteworthy/surprising, Scott Steiner actually seems motivated since coming over to TNA . . . certainly in comparison to when we saw him in the WWF blowing up 10 minutes into his world title match against HHH or lethargically battling the likes of Booker T for the WCW Title in the promotions dying days.<BR/><BR/>Now where TNA really blew it was not giving Joe a run with the NWA Title. Joe is the hottest commodity in TNA. Why not see if putting the title on Joe could accomplish what Christian Cage couldn't . . . increasing TV ratings, PPV buy rates, and fan loyalty/interest. Joe on top would also freshen up the title picture: not only does Joe as champion bring his longtime nemesis A.J. Styles back into the fold, but it creates fresh matchups and possibilities with Rhino, Christian Cage,(especially if they turn him into his WWE styled Tully Blanchard chickenshit heel), and Abyss, not to mention some quality Impact competitive squash main events against the likes of Dutt, Sabin, and Lethal. <BR/><BR/>Of course, if Joe-Rhino-Brown fails to deliver, I think its safe to proclaim that TNA dropped the ball with Samoa Joe and the buzz he created over the past 9-12 months. And (I think) like you, I would point to his (in hindsight) unnecessary inclusion in the world title picture as the most glaring example of their incompetent booking. My question is why would they book Joe into the world title picture if they weren't going to have him go over?Malibu Sandshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08061387669149099619noreply@blogger.com
