Samoa Joe Wants to Create the Matches Fans Want to See Now

– During a recent panel at Terrificon, former AEW World Champion Samoa Joe was asked about his dream opponents or feuds, and Joe spoke about what he’d still like to accomplish for the remaining time in his career. Below are some highlights (via Fightful):

Samoa Joe on the matchups he’s interested in: “It’s a tough answer because I’m only interested in doing the matchups that the fans want to see. I’m not, I have zero interest in doing a vanity match with somebody who is my dream opponent because I don’t do this for me. I’m not doing this to pad my resume, to add to my portfolio. I do this for the fans to want to come and watch it. Inevitably, that question at this point of my career and my life is left in your hands. What match do you want to see, because that’s what I’m interested in doing.”

On what matches he has zero interest in: “I really have zero interest in doing a match with somebody because they’re skilled or that I think it could be a great match. No. At this point, with what time I have left in my career, I want to dedicate that time to what fans want, not what I want.”

Samoa Joe last wrestled on the July 10 edition of AEW Dynamite, losing a Stampede Street Fight to Chris Jericho.
