Short Description of Wrestler:

[/b] Samoa Joe was most well known for his achievements in Ring of Honor, most notably holding the ROH World Championship for a record long 21-months. In TNA, Joe came to prominence after he sustained an 18-month long streak in which he never lost a match by pinfall or submission. Joe continued to dominate his way through TNA, eventually achieving his dream of becoming the World Heavyweight Champion. Upon losing that title to Sting months later, Joe engaged in a feud with many of the veterans of the company in what would end up being a losing fight. Now, in ZXWWF, he has become a full member of the Deathmatch Championship Division. However, on somewhat of a losing streak for a while, Joe still seemed to be kept in the title picture, where he finally claimed the championship for himself, defeating Victor "Ironman" Philips, TriXie Callaway, Marcus Brett, Gabriel Wingue and Batista at Patriotic Punishment, by making then champion VIP sumbit to the Coquina Clutch.

Joe has since held onto his title, defending it in a series of hardcore matches and defeating the likes of Jon Angels, C-Money, Batista, Hugo and Edge. At the Pick Your Poison PPV, Joe lost the Deathmatch Championship in a Triple Threat Match as Jon Angels pinned C-Money while Joe took out T-Bone ringside. After the match, an angry Joe stole the Championship. The next week on Xplosion, during ZX's return promo, both Joe and Cheerleader Melissa made their way to the ring and defended their actions at PYP, as Melissa stole the Women's and Vixen's titles too. The two ended with Joe slapping ZX round the face, while Melissa took him out with a Vixen Championship shot to the skull. Melissa then curb-stomped him, before Joe applied the Kokina Clutch to the boss.

The next week, as ZX forced Joe and Melissa to return the stolen titles, in order to gain himself a proper rematch for the title, Joe attacked Jon Angel's girlfriend Kristal Heart, locking her in the Kokina Clutch to prove a point. Joe got his rematch against Angels the next week, picking up the win after a friend, Eve Torres, attacked Kristal Heart ringside to distract Angels. With Joe back as Deathmatch champ, he was involved in the Champion of Champions Elimination Chamber at Dead or Alive. Joe was eliminated first but got his revenge the next week, teaming with Victor Phillips and Trish Stratus to defeat Shia Storm, Justice and Candice Michelle.

Samoa Joe lost the Deathmatch Championship to Marcus Brett at ZXWWF 'Mania IV, but regained it at Patriotic Punishment. A couple of weeks later, Samoa Joe was forced to vacate the title due to injuries. After his return, he continued to feud with Marcus Brett, as well as his current rival Rhino. The three, as well as LSC Raven and Cheerleader Melissa are battling for the Deathmatch Championship. After both failing to capture the title, Melissa and Joe announced that they'd be leaving the Deathmatch Division and form a tag team. The two then challenged the current champions the Motor City Machine Guns. The Future Legends as they are now known, were defeated by the Guns in their first title shot in an Ultimate X Match. Melissa and Joe then earnt another title shot and finally defeated the Guns in a standard match to become new Tag Team Champions.[/center]
