Samoa Joe recently sat down with the Gorilla Position podcast to discuss a number of topics and among them was the fact that he's yet to hold the WWE Championship. Asked whether he thinks that will come somewhere down the line, he said
"absolutely," and offered his thoughts on why it hasn't happened for him yet.
"Racism," Joe said with a laugh. "I had to say that because I know some fans will say 'we knew it, we knew it.' You know what, honestly, time and where we're at in the story. In terms of what the future holds I'm pretty confident about it. Let me put it this way, I've faced a lot worse odds in overcoming things and I'm pretty confident of overcoming this one."
It would be a terrible shame for Joe not to hold the title somewhere down the line and he went on to explain in details whether actually winning it means as much to him as it does the fans.
"I look at it like this as in terms of importance there are two varieties of it. There's what's important to me and there's what's important to my legacy, which includes what the fans think," he explained. "For my legacy and for what the fans who have followed me throughout my career, it's very important. For me personally, I find a great amount of enjoyment in what I do. I'm able to do what I do around the world, this is my dream job and I love it."
"That being said, it's also very important to me, damn it. Are you crazy? Of course, it's important to me and my legacy. It's important to both."
