Samoa Joe took part in a Q&A at Terrificon 2024 (via Fandom Spotlite) where he discussed a wide range of topics.
During it, the AEW star named ROH as his favorite promotion.
I’ve been asked this a few times (which company is my favorite that I’ve worked for). I’ve had super positive experiences in every company I’ve worked for. So, it’s like, I don’t have probably a lot of the hardship stories a lot of other wrestlers do as far as dealing with companies. If I was really gutting into my head, really gotta come up with an answer, ROH, but it was only because I was so hands-on in everything that there was there and in the building and that, you know, if I didn’t draw, the company was pretty much screwed. If we didn’t draw, the company was pretty much screwed so, it was a lot more kind of pressure on us. We were very much responsible for every bit of success that we had to garner out there so I mean just from that environment and that aspect and being young and traveling. Like I said, the punk rock atmosphere of the ROH crowd. Yeah, that’s something I really look back on and enjoy.”
