AEW star Samoa Joe took part in the Terrificon 2024 Wrestling panel to talk about a number of topics, including how he is not interested in competing in his own dream matches at this point in his career, however he does know how he wants to use the time he has left as an in-ring competitor.
Joe said, “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. 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.”
