 AJ Styles is one of TNA’s
MVP’s. One of the biggest stars to come from little known to major superstar
in NWA-TNA, AJ speaks out on many issues such as his turning down a move
to WWE, and the Vince Russo Style of Booking.
Styles then goes on to tell us a hilarious story about
a huge rib he played on a referee once. You have to hear it to believe
it!
Also on the show, our debut ‘after show wrap up’,
where Dan and James run down the interview, have a debate (one every show),
nd generally chat for about 10 minutes. Very, very, strange,
stuff.
AJ STYLES
-- When he was little
he went to high school with two big guys, became friends and trained with
them. Rick Michaels helped train him, and the two big guys quit the training
– AJ didn’t!
-- NWA Wildside’s
developmental deal with WCW was the reason that he got hired by WCW. He had
a dark match against Air Paris, and both guys were signed.
-- AJ can’t
remember the last time he wrestled for WCW!
-- The only contact
WWE had with him originally after the closure of WCW, was them telling him
he’s not being signed! They later offered him a $500/week contract,
which meant him moving to Cincinnati. Styles says it wasn’t feasible
for just $500 a week, and that’s the reason, not because he’s
“big bad AJ Styles”.
-- WWE haven’t
come knocking recently, and for him to join them would have to be a “big
pay day”.
-- He feels TNA
are above “showing boobs and that” (in reference to the Lollipop
incident). The company should be about showcasing the talent, not showcasing
a women’s breasts.
-- His first match
against Jerry Lynn was for the WWA Cruiserweight title, and he kicked him
in the mouth with a very stiff shot. WWA left Styles feeling
“low-balled” by WWA, but he had fun in Australia. He hopes to work
with them in the future.
-- A fan wanted
to fly Jerry and AJ over and have them two just wrestle in Australia, but
it fell through.
-- Styles then goes
on a rant about his passion for the X-Division, and how Siaki wasn’t
a very good X-Champ. “Was he extreme? Mmm… not really. Is Sonny
Siaki a great wrestler? Yes, but he’s a
heavyweight”.
-- Gimmick matches
aren’t high on his favourites list. He feels he can wrestle a good match
without a gimmick. People think he likes wrestling ladder matches
but he doesn’t!
-- When talking
about Ring of Honor, he feels when you wrestle for them you just wrestle.
When you’re on TNA, you become an entertainer.
-- Styles then tells
a VERY funny story about himself, an African wrestler and a referee. The
African wrestler and he share an in-ring spat, where it escalated to baseball
bats and chairs. The whole time, it was one huge rib on the referee, who
bought it completely!
-- After the Lollipop
topless on TNA incident, AJ said to the Christian Wrestling Federation that
he wrestles for, don’t list me as an NWATNA talent, because if they
want to pull this stuff, he doesn’t want people knowing he’s associated
with them. He feels that if people want to see half naked women on wrestling,
they should tune in to WWE.
-- While he admit
she goofs off way too much, Styles has a good relationship with Jesus Christ
and follows religion.
-- AJ felt that
he told a ‘really good story’ during his match with Jeff Jarrett
on TNA in the past month. He feels that Jarrett is a top-notch performer,
because he will wrestle his opponent’s style of match.
-- Surprisingly,
his major goal in the future is to appear on a wrestling video
game!
-- In the future,
AJ feels that the business will follow to more of a Ring of Honor style,
pure wrestling.
-- We then play
word association with names such as Air Paris (which he gets very stuck for
words for), Desire, Trinity, Vince Russo and many others.
