If Steiner beats Joe, I will seriously consider never watching TNA again.  That would be the most ignorant booking move since the Finger Poke of Doom and Kevin Nash's win over Goldberg.

Scott Steiner defeating Samoa Joe wouldn't be unrealistic. Now, had one of the x division wrestlers had defeated Samoa Joe, that would've not been realistic.

Although, I don't see TNA putting Steiner over Samoa Joe. It should be a good brawl though.

I prefer Samoa Joe being in ECW though. But it is better for Samoa Joe to be in TNA for now.

Steiner would win *ONLY* due to his Name Recognition. Period. Unless TNA were seriously thinking of Mega-Pushing Steiner, there'd be no other reason... And I personally can't see pushing a guy who was mid carding WCW ten years ago over a guy who OBVIOUSLY has fan approval as the Next Badass.

Let's not forget that Scott Steiner has no real future in wrestling.  Sure, he seems to have gotten himself in better shape (compared to his last WWE run, and despite the caved-in chest), but his best years are behind him.  He sure as Hell doesn't have the staying power of Ric Flair!

The one to end Samoa Joe's streak almost has to be an X-Division wrestler; in fact, I think it should be Alex Shelley, as he just has that certain something that I think will make him a top star.  Great in the ring, lots of charisma, and even pretty good mic skills.  Shelley is the total package here, and is just as good as Joe.

Basically, it would be a waste for Steiner to go over Joe, and it'd be completely ignorant booking.  Like I said, Steiner has no real future in wrestling, while Joe is the next big thing.

It would cheapen and ruin Samoa Joe's character if an X division wrestler got the first win.

Although, Alex Shelley reminds me of Chris Jericho.

No it wouldn't, it would make the X-Division wrestlers look like more of a threat. Joe's character wasn't ruined when Austin Aries beat him in ROH, so I don't see why Joe losing to a bigger name like Alex Shelley would ruin his character, so long as it was done properly and with the right about of build-up.

The only thing that would be worse than Scott Steiner beating Joe would be if Kevin Nash were the one to do it.  As far as I'm concerned, there are only four people in all of TNA currently who should be considered for the role of ending the streak: Alex Shelley, AJ Styles, Christopher Daniels, and maybe maybe Jay Lethal.  These four have the most potential of the entire roster, so they're the natural choices.

Of course, storyline-wise, if TNA were to get Goldberg, that would also be a good feud, although as much as I like Goldberg, I'm not so sure I like the idea of him beating Joe, mainly for the same reason that I don't want Steiner doing it; I don't honestly think Goldberg has much of a future in wrestling.

Unfortunally the one that will probably end the streak will be either Jarrett or Sting (however the latter would be good)

funnily enough, Kevin Nash is now a part of the X Division or at least I could have sworn I heard Tenay say thta last night on impact.
