Backstage Reaction To Samoa Joe Leaving TNA, Comments From Kurt Angle, Mike Tenay And Others
- Initial reaction to Samoa Joe leaving TNA among the other wrestlers is that they are very down because Joe and the company couldn't come to terms on a new deal, according to PWInsider.
Joe has always been seen as a leader in the locker room and was well-liked by most everyone. Joe's departure is leaving a hole in the roster similar to the one left when AJ Styles and TNA parted ways.
Just sucks 2 hear @SamoaJoe leaving TNA. He will do great things & continue his excellence. Dont know what else to say & dont agree.
