TNA Suspends Samoa Joe

August 3, 2010 | Posted by Jeremy Thomas

Samoa Joe has been sent home and suspended by TNA. He was sent home after an incident at the July 13th Impact tapings surrounding his match against Jeff Hardy. That match was scheduled to go to a ten-minute time limit draw and Joe was vocal about not wanting a countdown in the final portion of the match, since it would give away the finish. Jeremy Borash started a countdown with 30 seconds left and after the match, Joe reportedly went backstage and yelled at production team members in the production truck for the countdown. This was apparently a breach of etiquette.

Last week, TNA and Spike TV released the full line-up for the August 12 “Whole F’n Show” Impact special and Joe’s name was not listed on the card. Joe is also not listed for upcoming TNA house shows. Word is that Joe will be suspended for about a month.
