There is a lot of news hitting the sites that HHH is after both Samoa Joe and Beer Money. I think it's safe to say if HHH is serious about this, he will find a way to get it done. It's even being said that Joe wants to go to the WWE as soon as he can.
I think everyone is in agreement that Beer Money would get over in the WWE, especially if this tag team revival is true (and it appears it is). Beer Money vs. Kings of Wrestling anyone?
Would Samoa Joe get over in the WWE? He'd probably have to change his style and hit the gym harder. But a motivated Samoa Joe in the WWE vs. guys like Sheamus, Big Show, Mark Henry, Kane, is intriguing. Not to mention matches vs. Jericho, Punk, Danielson and others his long time fans would definitely want to see. Looking back at that after typing it, it looks like an impossible dream for Joe. I think it would be a hard climb to the top for Joe in the WWE. But if he's given the chance it will be fun to watch pass or fail just because of who he is.
Bigger picture, is this the beginning of the end of TNA? If the WWE snags Beer Money and Joe, isn't that similar to when they raided WCW and took the Radicals, Jericho and Mysterio? How far behind would a guy like AJ Styles be if this happens?
HHH is shaking things up big time. Kings of Wrestling, now we're hearing the Briscoe Bros. names, Colt Cabana, Beer Money, Samoa Joe, Kharma, Sin Cara the list goes on...
who else in TNA might HHH try to snag? I can't really think of anyone good other than Beer Money. Maybe the Motor City Machine Guns if they totally re-packaged them with a 50's style Detroit mob look or something.

I think a move for Samoa Joe and Beer Money to the WWE could be a good thing. Reason 1 with Joe is he needs a fresh start and Reason 2 if the WWE revives the Tag Division, Beer Money have been the Best Tag Team in years and they could help maybe a revived Tag Team Renaissance...

KOW vs. Beer Money = DREAM MATCH!
But I would imagine after a year, Beer Money would split up, Bobby Roode would become a huge singles star, and James Storm would linger on in Superstars before being let go.

Alex Shelley could definitely make it WWE.. he's cuts great heel promos and is a pretty good 'small guy' worker.
I'd love to see tag teams return to being signifigant in some way.
Joe, I think, need to re-discover himself. I think he'd be better to go back to RoH, or Evolve, or tour Japan... something to find out if he still has a passion for the business.
I can't see him doing anything but jobbing in WWE at this point.

Correction Rob, WWE didn't steal Mysterio away from WCW, he signed a year after WCW folded.
But if WWE does start raiding TNA for their younger talent it will start putting the nail in their coffin, but TNA still won't die for a little while yet.

Even as a huge WWE fan, I think WWE has too much talent right now. However, I do want an active tag team division. I'd love for anyone to get a chance in the WWE. I just wish we had more talent being developed, old and new. I'm stoked for Cena/Punk and Christian/Orton, but not anything right now.
Oh, Samoa Joe vs. Mark Henry. Cool.

Jobbing in WWE > headlining TNA
Sorry but it's true. TNA can't be compared to WCW because WCW was successful. Even before the nWo, WCW was good and doing ok in the ratings. Honestly, I wouldn't put TNA above old AWA, WCCW, Memphis, OVW, Florida Championship, ect.

Beer Money is a great tag team, which is why they would be wasted in WWE. I can't see them all-of-a-sudden caring about tag teams. I would hate to see Beer Money waste away in WWE. The same about The Briscoes and KOW. If they are serious about a tag team division, then great...I just doubt that they are

The same about The Briscoes and KOW. If they are serious about a tag team division, then great...I just doubt that they are I understand that concern but didn't one day the WWE just stopped caring about tag team wrestling? So it's not too much of a stretch that with HHH's influence, it can go the other way. It's hard to say how good/bad anyone in TNA is because they can't book anything or anyone to save their lives. Beer Money seems like a good fit especially if HHH signs KOW and the tag division is gonna get a push again. I couldn't care less about Samoa Joe. He hasn't ever put on a match or angle that I've ever cared about, or one that's ever held my interest. MCMGs would be a cool team to go with the possible new tag division. I really hope HHH does put more of a focus on tag teams. To quote Claudio, tag teams are something that is only present in wrestling. You'll never see tag team boxing or MMA fights and wrestling needs to use that uniqueness to its advantage. |

It would be nice to see the real return of tag team wrestling to WWE |
