On Samoa Joe's MySpace page (myspace.com/joeism), he was asked about WWE's Umaga. Here is his response:
Q. Dear Joe what do you think about Umaga? Is he a ripoff of you?
A. I think Umaga is a strong Hamo in the struggle and I hope he wrecks everyone over there. Ahh not the answer you where expecting? Honestly I am more than happy for the success Umaga is enjoying in the WWE. By the way what is with people saying he is a rip off of me? Honestly thats like comparing Bad News Allen to Samba Simba. GET that lazy ass comparison bullsh!% out of here. As for him being undefeated good on him. I don't know if yall noticed but in Pro Wrestling Circles Samoans are usually on average MUCH better that .500.
Kurt Angle has been added to the 10/31 show in Lisbon, Portugal. This will be his first match under the TNA banner. The show is being billed as "Impacto Total." Lisbon, Portugal will also be the site of Flash Funk's first scheduled match for WWE on 12/4.
Perhaps due to the Detroit Tigers playing in the World Series (their first WS appearance in 22 years), there is very little publicity and no buzz locally in Detroit for tomorrow night's TNA pay-per-view, Bound For Glory.
