Samoa Joe On WWE Raiding the Indies: “If You Have a Problem with WWE Making Those Dudes Rich, Kiss My Ass”

WWE star Samoa Joe recently spoke with Pop Culture, and the Smackdown Live star did not mince words when asked about WWE raiding the independent scene and taking top talents.

“Hey, you know whose fault it is, that your favorite wrestler got bought out? The company he was working for, cause they were too cheap to pay him what he was worth,” said Joe. “So he should get paid what he’s worth, and if WWE comes and pays him what he’s worth, that’s on your sorry ass. Get the money right. And start paying these dudes,” he said.

“There are too many crazy talented dudes out there that aren’t getting paid, and if you have a problem with WWE making those dudes rich, you can kiss my ass, cause those dudes deserve to be rich, cause they’re talented as hell,” said Joe.

On NXT operating as the most successful “indie” promotion out there:

“It’s funny because people are like, ‘oh, well that’s kind of messed up,’ No. No. That’s how you win,” explained Joe. “That’s why they’re the number one company in the world. You go out there and you get the best dudes. You don’t get mad at a tiger for being a tiger.”
