Paid Members Hannibal Scorch Posted June 14, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted June 14, 2021 Joe is coming back to run NXT isn't he? I hope instead Regal has hired him to instead just Lesner the roster on his path to becoming the champion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No shit, really? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merzbow Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 (edited) Unless Vince has gone completely senile and forgotton who he is is he just going to rehire him to work NXT? Has the "we're an indie, honest" brainwashing not stopped? Edited June 14, 2021 by Merzbow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No shit, really? Yeah, it came across as "click bait" to me, something which that Sapp guy seems to do a fair bit of. Â Nothing substantiated or concrete, just surmising and throwing something out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theringmaster Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 That honestly felt like an episode of NXT with a special set, kinda feels like this should have been a special episode of TV to build towards Great American Bash.  Seeing Todd back was awesome though.

DavidB6937 Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 "... was seen at the PC" is the new pre-PPV '...was seen at the airport!' as far as I can tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I certainly hope that's not where Joe ends up. It would be quite an underwhelming place for him to end up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Blog Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 Joe getting over as everything that Vince wanted Roman to be probably didn't help his main roster career much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finbar Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 Surely if Joe couldn't get medically cleared for the main roster then he wouldn't for NXT either? If he's going there it's got to be as a trainer or commentator? Or they just sent his bin bag of belongings to the wrong place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members BomberPat Posted June 14, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted June 14, 2021 I wonder if he couldn't get cleared and they fired him because he was still on a performer's contract and so getting paid over the odds. Everyone was fantasy booking him wrestling elsewhere, but this surely points toward him being done? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrodyGraham Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 Salina De La Renta is also a free agent and just closed down her PWTees store. Just a thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if they released him because at his request (given he was on a performer contract and they wouldn't clear him) and perhaps Joe couldn't get cleared outside the company either. If so, it might be at least for now if he can't perform in the ring this is the next best option? For what it's worth I suspect he would make an excellent addition to the training and coaching staff at the PC and he slots nicely into that Regal role on TV if that is indeed the direction they are going in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
