Man, I’ve been digging into AJ Styles’ time in TNA lately, and it’s been a wild ride. I started off by watching some of his old matches, just to get a feel for his style back then.
AJ Styles, The Phenomenal One!
First I just searched for some videos about him and found that he’s going to face Seth Rollins in the Night of Champions, so I watched some of his highlights in WWE.
Then, I learned that he had been famous before he joined WWE in 2016. I was shocked! So I dug deeper into his career path.
- I started reading up on his history, you know, where he started, the titles he won, that sort of thing. Turns out, he was a pretty big deal in TNA, even considered for their Hall of Fame.
- I found out that he’d been with NWA and won their World Heavyweight Championship three times, and then the TNA World Heavyweight Championship twice. He even snagged the first-ever X Division Championship. That’s seriously impressive.
Next, I wanted to see what people were saying about him. I browsed through some forums and articles, and it seemed like everyone was talking about whether he should be in the TNA Hall of Fame or not. There were rumors flying around about WWE not letting him in or something. Lots of back and forth on that one.
I even tracked down some interviews where AJ talked about leaving TNA. Apparently, there was some drama with the money they offered him, and he felt disrespected. That led him to wrestle in places like Ring of Honor and New Japan Pro Wrestling, before he finally landed in WWE.
His Technical Skill is Amazing
What really struck me was how everyone talked about his skill in the ring. I mean, the guy’s got it all—high-flying moves, technical skills, you name it. I watched a bunch of his matches, and it’s easy to see why people call him one of the best. He’s like the Kurt Angle of TNA, holding all sorts of titles and being a Triple Crown Champion. I watched how he mixes up his style, keeping things fresh and exciting. He has combined high-flying maneuvers with strong mat wrestling techniques. It really makes his performance dynamic and engaging. I think this is why everyone thinks him as one of the greatest ring performers in professional wrestling.
Finally, I started organizing all the info I found. I made a timeline of his career, listed out his accomplishments, and even jotted down some of his most memorable matches. It took a while, but it was worth it to piece together his whole story.
This whole deep dive into AJ Styles’ TNA career has been a blast. I’ve learned so much about him, and it’s given me a whole new appreciation for what he’s done in the wrestling world.
