Samoa Joe Responds to Shawn Michaels’ Praise

– During an interview with ESPN, Shawn Michaels praised Samoa Joe, stating the following…

“I look at Samoa Joe and I’ve told him a number of times that I see his stuff at NXT and think to myself, ‘Man, I could have a great deal of fun with you.’ He’s a guy I have sort of enjoyed, and one of those sleeper guys that no one talks about. We have contrasting styles. I get that everybody wants to see me and AJ or Seth or Dolph [Ziggler]. From my standpoint, I think really telling a great story out there [is most important]. I could do it with a guy like Samoa Joe. His stuff looks really good, and sometimes he just looks like he’s beating the tar out of somebody.”

– Joe responded with the following on Twitter…

I'll be your huckleberry. https://t.co/5Fp7RsJAFL
