Samoa Joe spoke with Brian Fritz of Between The Ropes about various topics. Here are the highlights.
On if he lost his passion for pro wrestling before he arrived in NXT:
“It’s funny, I was asked this earlier, and it was never about a loss of passion, but I can definitely see that point. In different places I was kind of stifled and it was more of a symptom of a larger issue. Even though you’re always responsible for what happens once end up inside the ring, sometimes you just can’t storm up the mountain with a mountain made of gravel. That’s kind of what I was faced with.”
On being called up to the main roster soon:
“Time will tell,” Joe said. “Stay tuned. That’s all I’m going to say, man. Let surprises be surprises, let fun be fun.”
