I don't buy or agree with the whole "Joe is past his prime" talking point. Yeah, he's older and slower but he's had plenty of good matches since being called up to the main roster. He just needs to be booked properly (like he was in the Lesnar angle) and when he isn't, he doesn't look good. I don't attribute that to his knees I attribute it to bad writing. This whole stupid storyline with AJ's family is a perfect example. Joe can cut great heel promos, but they have him reading moronic children's stories because they employ shitty writers. That match with AJ was good, but it wasn't as good as the first match at Summerslam and just like with the Becky/Charlotte match, they are having these so-called "blood feud" matches start off like standard wrestling matches instead of brawls, because they suck at laying these angles out.
