Former AEW World Champion Samoa Joe has revealed his favorite company that he has ever worked for in his career.
Samoa Joe started wrestling in 1999 and since then, has comprised a successful career that has spanned 25 years. He has worked with Ring of Honor, TNA Wrestling, WWE and now All Elite Wrestling.
During a recent Q&A at Terrificon 2024 earlier this month, Samoa Joe was asked to name his favorite company that he has wrestled for. He answered:
“I’ve been asked this a few times. I’ve had super positive experiences in every company I’ve worked for.”
“So, it’s like, I don’t have probably a lot of the hardship stories a lot of other wrestlers do as far as dealing with companies.”
“You know — if it was really gun against my head, really got to come up with an answer: ROH, but it was only because I was so hands-on in everything that there was there and in the building,”
Explaining why he holds a closeness towards Ring of Honor after all these years, Joe said:
“You know, if I didn’t draw, the company was pretty much screwed. Or if we didn’t draw, the company was pretty much screwed.”
“So it was a lot more kind of pressure on us. We were very much responsible for every bit of success that we had to garner out there.”
“So I mean just from that environment and that aspect and being young and traveling — like I said, the punk rock atmosphere of the ROH crowd. Yeah, that’s something I really look back on and enjoy.”
Joe is currently absent from AEW programming, taking time off from the company to film “Twisted Metal: Season 2.”
