Samoa Joe was one of the subject of Scott Steiner’s infamous ‘Steiner Math’ promo in TNA, and he recently recalled his reaction to it. Steiner cut a nonsensical promo using dubious math to project why Joe had no chance of winning a thee-way match involving himself and Kurt Angle (replaced by Kazarian by the time of the match) for the TNA World Championship. Joe spoke with Under the Ring for a new interview and talked about the promo.

“I was there for it live, and it was hilarious,” Joe said (Wrestling Inc). “I mean, I was standing on the other side of the camera, dying laughing. To Scott’s credit, I think it was only a two-take go. And I think the first take was just because maybe Petey [Williams] broke because nobody was really expecting it. Yeah, it was hilarious and still is.”

Despite Steiner’s meticulous calculations, Joe did in fact retain the World Title in the match.
