Samoa Joe recently appeared as a guest on the "Under The Ring" program for an in-depth interview covering all things pro wrestling.
During the discussion, "The Samoan Submission Machine" spoke about today's Ring Of Honor product, as well as his role as "Sweet Tooth" in the new Peacock original series, Twisted Metal.
Featured below are some of the highlights from the interview where he touches on these topics with his thoughts.
On the Ring of Honor product today: “I think Ring of Honor has had a tremendous impact and influence on the industry as a whole. You know, when you look, especially throughout the past few decades at the top stars in this industry, you’ll find that many of them embrace Ring of Honor, and to help make this next evolution to build it back up as a place for new talent to kind of make their a stake in the world, and to be a part of that, it’s it’s a very, very fun process for me.”
On playing Sweet Tooth from Twisted Metal: “We premiere July 27th on Peacock. I’m looking forward to people getting to see it. I think it’s a really fun show, a really fun watch. Basically it kind of chronicles, it takes from the original PlayStation game. I played Needles Kane, aka Sweet Tooth, a psychopathic clown who drives a weapon laden ice cream truck and murders my way across America. So yeah, it’s a bit of a weird pitch, but if you’re in for a little bit of dark comedy fun, please, please, please tune in. Will Arnett (is the voice of the character). It’s a fantastic experience. You know, I was very, very fortunate. Both the cast and crew were awesome and made my transition into Needles Kane very, very easy. It was a lot of fun. You know, it’s very fun to inhabit a new character, especially one that’s pretty iconic for a lot of people, especially my generation. So yeah, it was an opportunity I jumped at and it was a very, very great experience and I’m excited for everybody to see the show.”
