From MetsFanForever on Reddit, a mildly accurate source that is a former WWE employee

I can confirm that there is at least a good amount of interest from Triple H in giving Samoa Joe a look. I've been told that Triple H is interested in giving Joe a run in NXT. Vince McMahon is however not so interested, but there might be a push within the next few weeks at giving Joe at least a tryout run. I haven't received word if Joe is even interested in coming to WWE / NXT.

Was your title supposed to be "WWE interested in Samoa Joe after all"?

Mets isnt a former employee

Yes he is.

Who said, him?

So Triple H didn't want Chris Hero because he was fat but he wants Samoa Joe...

He confirmed it with Reddit mods via paystubs...

UPDATE: WWE is trying to bring him in for a try-out in the next two weeks.

Chris Hero was a tall, lean, and had a big belly. That doesn't look fitting.

huge difference, honestly.

MetsFans IS a former employee but he has practically no sources left. He just guesses 50% of the time.

Basically like every other journalist out there.

Wrong. Journalists have bogus sources most of the time. MF has much more credibility than most journalists worldwide.

Yeah, exactly. Samoa Joe looks a badass carrying that weight...Hero just looked like a melted candle. There is a difference between "shit, he looks like he could kick my ass" and "shit, he looks like he's melting into his ass".

And I think they fired Hero because of his attitude towards it all anyway. They wanted him to trim down his image a bit, but he was a jackass and didn't.

It was about more than just the weight. He wasn't willing to "play ball." He told them he wasn't going to change things he didn't think needed to be changed and at that point they cut bait because he is not a "team player"
