Now atop the BFGS leader board and has been booked strong since the start of BFGS...and within the last 24 hours via Hogan and Angle :

Kurt Angle ‏@RealKurtAngle
Samoa Joe Proved tonight Why He Deserves a title Shot. The Big Samoan Can Hang With Anybody, Including Me! :)
Hulk Hogan ‏@HulkHogan
Wish I was in my prime,I would draw nothing but money with SAMOA JOE,his work is flawless.And he a tough,mean mofo. HH
It's fantastic to see Hogan delivering high praise to another talented wrestler on his roster.

Did TNA just realize a motivated Joe could be worth them getting behind and pushing ? Are they actually going to rebuild him into a top guy once again ? Did his match with Aries at Slammiversary open the eyes of creative ?

Whatever is going on...please don't stop. Joe, Aries, Roode, Storm...TNA you are on to something and are seemingly doing everything right.

I think the match at Slammy is the main reason behind it, Hogan certainly seems very high on him since then.

I would not be surprised at all to see Joe win the BFG series and have Joe/Aries for the title with Roode/Storm in a grudge match.

If it was Joe/Aries at BFG I would through a gimmick into it, either a best of three falls match or a 30 minute iron man match. Or even a submission match.

Imagine 30 mins of Joe/Aries in the main event for the title? Worth the money alone.
The TV title is waiting...

No gimmick, well at least not yet. I think a feud between them has more legs than a one off. Let them wrestle a 20-25 min match before heading into gimmick match territory. They delivered a good match in 12, imagine the story they could tell in the ring in 20-25 main eventing on TNA's biggest stage ? IMO they could top the 4 star 18 minute match they had at FB in 2004.
I have my doubts, either joe hits the gym or lagana/prichard do something big with him.
TNA has it right with Aries, Roode, Storm, and Joe in the WHC picture. I think in the BFG Series finals, it will be Storm vs Joe, and I expect a decent fued between Aries and Roode over the belt, something that can go into BFG, if done correctly- a couple Aries/Storm vs Roode/Joe matches would look good. Also with Sema Ion as X-Division Champion, TNA is going to be interesting. I think that the WHC match at BFG should be a 4-way elimination match between Aries, Storm, Joe, and Roode.

I dont think its the Slammiversary match that got him the attention that he already deserved, because I heard Kurt in one of his interviews that they were planning on doing something with Joe and he said something like "we havent used Joe" etc. so maybe joe is not difficult to deal with anymore and they are going to push him again. Hopefully he will make the most of it, Joe is really good even though he got a bit fatter, he is still very agile and exciting to watch.

People say he got fatter, yet he still can move pretty past, do suicide dives, enziguiris and leg lariats from the top rope. Hopefully he will have a nice long feud with AA and the two will exchange titles by next year.
He definitely needs to be used. Not using Joe is seriously a waste of potential talent. TNA is really looking promising. I like this new core of talent being used for the future. AA, Roode, Storm, Joe, Daniels, AJ, Joey Ryan
Finally!!! I hope they use him more than they have in the past. Joe is one of favorites.
Hopefully he wins the BFGS and we get Aries vs Joe for the title @ BFG.
Yeah, put the TV Title on him - make that belt mean something.

I missed Joe's streak and Angle feud so I don't have that backstory with him. But he was a good tag champ with Magnus, his two recent matches with Angle were good and his match at Slammi was great. He's got it and deserves a push. A dominant TV champ reign would be a good short-term move.
Hopefully he wins the BFGS and we get Aries vs Joe for the title @ BFG.
Either turn Joe heel permanently without the Code of Honor bullshit or no. I don't feel like having a face vs face match again. Maybe Joe/Aries after BFGS on IMPACT. It's best to stick with the more logical plan.

What is the more logical plan ?
I was reading an blog on the net,and someone said that Tna is at it's best when Joe is an beast.
Joe has no excuses, he's number one on the BFG series.
His in ring/mic work has to improve.
glad to see joe getting somewhat pushed again, he deserves it. was very surprised he beat angle on sunday but was glad it happened.

joe has been pushed to the side for way too long.

crimson
morgan
hernandez
gunner

have all gotten pushes in the past while joe was lost in the shuffle getting kidnapped by bischoffs ninjas.

my only complaint right now is that hes been sporting the NOV trunks from 09 and i dont like that look, but other then that he been on a roll and he deserves the push
Joe's push is Fools gold. I wont believe it til I see it. He's a placeholder 1st place guy so that the golden boy Super Storm can retake it near the end in dramatic fashion.

When Joe is motivated he's one of the very best. Definitely deserves a big push.
