Samoa Joe carries a unique presence with him wherever he goes. With a look that sets him apart from others, he’s stunned many over the years with just how deceptively agile he is. He’s been categorized as one of the rare breeds of wrestlers who are always able to make their matches look like a fight, similar to how Bret Hart did.
Joe, similar to his fellow-TNA alumni AJ Styles took the long route to come to WWE. Even then, his original deal wasn’t intended for him to go to the main roster. It was more for him to stay and elevate NXT. He proved just how valuable he is and got called up to the main roster and has been a featured superstar since.
However, his greatest matches weren’t in WWE. While he does have a fine collection of matches on the big stage, it was a Ring Of Honor and TNA where he was at his athletic prime. Facing other opponents and legends at their prime as well, Joe has an often-overlooked collection of incredible matches. With many happening in the span of a few years, here are Samoa Joe’s best matches.
