Samoa Joe Talks WWE Using Independent Wrestling Talent

Samoa Joe says independent wrestlers deserve to be made rich by WWE. 

WWE has been filling NXT with independent wrestlers over the last couple years including guys like Samoa Joe, Kevin Owens, and Adam Cole. In an interview with PopCulture.com, Samoa Joe said he approves of WWE using talent from around the world. 

"There are too many crazy talented dudes out there that aren't getting paid, and if you have a problem with WWE making those dudes rich, you can kiss my ass, cause those dudes deserve to be rich, cause they're talented as hell," said Joe. "That's why they're the number one company in the world. You go out there and you get the best dudes. You don't get mad at a tiger for being a tiger," he later added.

Samoa Joe went on to talk about the effort the independent wrestlers have been putting in at WWE and how they are taking advantage of the opportunity. He said "of course" WWE would create NXT to compete with places like Ring of Honor and PWG
