Agreed. not just top 20 greatest performers, in terms of performers he's top 3 greatest of all time, arguably number one. overall, I say he's top 20 easy, maybe top 15. he's earned that. he found his storytelling and psychology late tna, his charisma and 5 star match quality in new japan, his promos, character and just general niche as a heel, in wwe, and is one of the company's biggest stars.
AJ Styles truly is the face that runs the place. He's an amazing wrestler, pretty good at the mic, amazing face and terrific heel AND he's also a grounded, nice and geniune person. I hope we get to see him as a Wrestlemania main event one of these days.
Aj vs Neville Aj vs Rollins Aj vs Joe Aj vs Cesaro Aj vs Balor Aj vs Orton Aj vs Rock / Lesnar / Triple H (at wrestlemania) Aj vs Adam Cole (when he comes up from NXT) Aj vs Daniel Bryan (if / when WWE let him wrestle again) Aj vs Strowman? AJ vs a damn broom
Aj vs Strowman would be a bit awkward. 1. beause of the height differnce, styles is relativitly small and Braun is huge. 2. Aj wouldnt be able to do a styles clash.
I can't forget about AJ's history, it's what made him great and what he's doing now is what makes him great. I can proudly say I've been a fan of his for 13 years since I started watching TNA in 2004.
An10ny A I can see it happening. Vince likes AJ Styles and knows how good he is . I can see him main eventing WrestleMania. Maybe probably against Roman again? Or Nakamura? He will definitely main event sooner or later.
Vince liked AJ enough to put the wwe title on him. he liked him enough to put him in a top feud with roman straight after reigns won the title, where he won vince over with his two back to back matches with roman. he liked aj enough to put him in there against shane , his own flesh and blood, as the OPENING match at mania. vince likes aj enough to put him in the main event one day. it will happen. whether it's a triple threat or one on one, it'll happen mainly because you can't put reigns and cena or brock in the main event every year. and AJ isn't cm punk(even though punk should have got his mania main event) AJ is better than punk, and is actually too good not to be put in the main event. it'll happen. one day. i could see him winning a rumble to.
@@ISetYourFaceOnFire Vince like cm punk enough to put the title on him. And Seamus enough to put the world title on him. Neither of those guys mainevented wrestlemania. Hell even if the miz mainevented. It wasn't even about him winning. Vince had the rock steal that spot light to set up rock cena match at the next wrestlemania
On the one hand, I'm down with AJ's comment of hold your horses, we'll get there. On the other hand how many times has the WWE dropped the ball on the road to get there. I don't like being on team give it to me now but I've been burned too many times on team I can wait.
Yeah it's a tough one. There are times when waiting is the right thing to do, but there are documented tragedies - Daniel Bryan comes to mind. They shouldn't have put him on hold for so long, he could have been THE biggest star of this generation but spent his prime on the mid-card, just waiting for a run that never materialised.
dude rock Hogan cena and stone cold can be just as bland as you say bryan is, and great is different to everyone just because he isn't great to you doesn't mean he isn't great to others, I'm not a very big fan of bryan but he's better than great in the ring, on the mic debatable
Aj Styles has been the best wrestler in the world since he debut in TNA I don't understand why wwe fans can give him the love and respect that he deserves I don't care if he is a face or heel he will give u a a performance like no other wrestler
That guy is just pure passion and real interesting to listen to. Hope he comes out with an autobiography when he retires cause he's got a great vision of the business.
Aj is so entertaining man. Idk what it is about him but he truly is one of a kind. Has so much knowledge on wrestling and it’s awesome to hear. Great interview.
nah shaving his face WAS one of the things that made him stand out in TNA. Especially by around the time he left TNA I think he might have been the only guy in the whole company with a shaved face.
It's such a joy to listen to this man talk.Plain, Simple, Wise and has such a wonderful take on life; be it his art or his time away from work. Truly Phenomenal!
That podcast AJ is talking about is the Don Tony and Kevin Castle show lol. They're good dudes. They have given AJ a hard time before, but has done a complete 180 on him.
Kyle Razo He got pushed down because of Rock v Cena. Then they had him drop the belt to Rock. to only do Rock v Cena AGAIN! Giving the belt to Cena which no one wanted.
Dilay Aydoğdu u fool. Cena is the most humble unlike ur cry baby punk who just is jealous. The company wants cena n he obliges. Best for wwe business dat moron punk left the company. He had become a big liability for wwe.
Well he should be Wwe champion again right now. Actually looking back I'd rather that he didn't lose it in the first place. Cena only had it for a stat, Bray finally won it but not for long at all, then Orton had it and no one really cared, and now Jinder has it and no one cares. And all of this combined has hurt Smackdown a lot.
Lucid Dreamer go watch wrestlelamea channel they will explain his situation better he had a good reason to have his attitude after hearing the bull he went through
I prefer these one on ones then having the wrestling guests in the studio. Guys like jim are just too uneducated on the business and the state of wrestling today.
i actually noticed they never touched the ground, i think it was in the royal rumble so i knew that because everything was on the mat it all became much much better.
24:50 ...and now Shawn is coming back for his biggest payday ever on their Saudi show which is the most controversial show ever, that shouldn't even be happening...
Both Daniel Bryan And AJ Styles can wrestle rings around someone like CM Punk yet they are probably the most humble people in this industry to date. Punk can cut a better promo but he's really nothing special in the ring when compared to the likes of AJ Styles.
Kenny has worked for the wwe...he was in developmental but has also gone on record saying he absolutely hated it. When you taste something for the first time and it's disgusting, you tend to be less apt to try it again
Kenny has said in shoots that Demott was never really an issue to him since Kenny always made sure to be the "best" of the class when it came to drills and such. I'm sure he wasn't ok with how Bill reated others, though. Johnny Ace was apparently a big supporter of Kenny's, but then after Kenny quit Johnny told him that he could help get him booked in AJPW, but of course Johnny never answered Kenny's calls after that point. I'd be more upset at that personally, at least Bill doesn't hide who he really is or make empty promises.
You are really looking great like always I am a happy person cause you are with me all the time I really appreciate you to be with me for a long time AAJ I love you so much I am very happy to here for you a long time ❤❤
I hope you will be able to wrestle for a long time cause we have time AAJ you will have a great look and I be happy to keep watching you on television show episodes I love watching you wrestle I really love your new clothes you are wearing now the black outfits look great look on you
var1ables hypothetically if they could use MSG they would sell out MSG in a heartbeat didn't think had to fully explain myslef.So much for giving people the benefit of the doubt.That was my point i heard what AJ said only wwe could perform there sports entertainment wise so hold your horses jr.
Wow aj glad he doesnt push to the moon on his first wrestlemania. Look boman lames. He is not shame to be pushing to the moon (3x main event wrestlemania).
I have to disagree. AJ can gain a ton from wrestling from Shawn Michaels. Shawn however doesn't take anything out of the match if he loses... and Shawn knows that would be right thing to do if he was to come back for AJ. I doubt HBK wants to do the right so thats why hes not coming back lol.
AJ Styles will always be one of the greatest wrestlers to ever step in a wrestling ring in any promotion. A future WWE Hall of Famer for sure.
Agreed. not just top 20 greatest performers, in terms of performers he's top 3 greatest of all time, arguably number one. overall, I say he's top 20 easy, maybe top 15. he's earned that. he found his storytelling and psychology late tna, his charisma and 5 star match quality in new japan, his promos, character and just general niche as a heel, in wwe, and is one of the company's biggest stars.
Is that a Mike Tyson t-shirt ? If so then he is disqualified for the WWE HoF.
Rodycaz Yuck.
Rodycaz Roman Reigns LOL
TRIGGERED MUCH BITCH LOL
AJ Styles truly is the face that runs the place.
He's an amazing wrestler, pretty good at the mic, amazing face and terrific heel AND he's also a grounded, nice and geniune person.
I hope we get to see him as a Wrestlemania main event one of these days.
Aj vs Neville
Aj vs Rollins
Aj vs Joe
Aj vs Cesaro
Aj vs Balor
Aj vs Orton
Aj vs Rock / Lesnar / Triple H (at wrestlemania)
Aj vs Adam Cole (when he comes up from NXT)
Aj vs Daniel Bryan (if / when WWE let him wrestle again)
Aj vs Strowman?
AJ vs a damn broom
Aj vs Strowman would be a bit awkward. 1. beause of the height differnce, styles is relativitly small and Braun is huge. 2. Aj wouldnt be able to do a styles clash.
Those are the reasons why it could be great.
Makes sense :)
(ಠ_ಠ) you can forget about the Aj vs Daniel and the Aj vs Neville, those matches won't happen.
(ಠ_ಠ) AJ vs Charlotte
AJ vs Dana Brooke
AJ vs Alexis Bliss
LET HIM FUCK THEM BITCHES!!!
I can't forget about AJ's history, it's what made him great and what he's doing now is what makes him great. I can proudly say I've been a fan of his for 13 years since I started watching TNA in 2004.
Aj needs to main event Wrestlemania. Atleast once!!
itsbrimbram it takes time and he will
Can't see it happening. Aj nak will prove b semi n riman cena main event. Year after Hogg lets do Roman Brock again etc
An10ny A I can see it happening. Vince likes AJ Styles and knows how good he is . I can see him main eventing WrestleMania. Maybe probably against Roman again? Or Nakamura? He will definitely main event sooner or later.
Vince liked AJ enough to put the wwe title on him. he liked him enough to put him in a top feud with roman straight after reigns won the title, where he won vince over with his two back to back matches with roman. he liked aj enough to put him in there against shane , his own flesh and blood, as the OPENING match at mania. vince likes aj enough to put him in the main event one day. it will happen. whether it's a triple threat or one on one, it'll happen mainly because you can't put reigns and cena or brock in the main event every year. and AJ isn't cm punk(even though punk should have got his mania main event) AJ is better than punk, and is actually too good not to be put in the main event. it'll happen. one day. i could see him winning a rumble to.

Hell even if the miz mainevented. It wasn't even about him winning. Vince had the rock steal that spot light to set up rock cena match at the next wrestlemania
One of the most knowledgeable and most humble guys ever.
Styles is such a Humble guy, damn.
On the one hand, I'm down with AJ's comment of hold your horses, we'll get there. On the other hand how many times has the WWE dropped the ball on the road to get there.

They shouldn't have put him on hold for so long, he could have been THE biggest star of this generation but spent his prime on the mid-card, just waiting for a run that never materialised.
Veganism is a moral imperative Daniel Bryan is as bland as they come. He will never be as great as the Rock Hogan Cena or Stone Cold.
dude rock Hogan cena and stone cold can be just as bland as you say bryan is, and great is different to everyone just because he isn't great to you doesn't mean he isn't great to others, I'm not a very big fan of bryan but he's better than great in the ring, on the mic debatable

Aj is so entertaining man. Idk what it is about him but he truly is one of a kind. Has so much knowledge on wrestling and it’s awesome to hear. Great interview.
what a guy. awseome talk about bullying too, so good for his age. HE RUNS THE PLACE.
What a humble guy... one of best
Ever since Eddie Guerrero passed away AJ has been my favorite wrestler😊
He reminds me of Shawn Michaels skill set wise. but AJ is much nicer and down to earth.
ultimate super savage you mom is trash
Shawn after 2003.. Most down to earth and nice guy
Abhhijeet choubey
Shawn is still a piece of shit he just hides it better.....
TVG EBT looks like you hate him.... Good
Favorite wrestler in the world
The hair and beard really makes him stand out. Upgrade from no beard and short hair tna Aj
nah shaving his face WAS one of the things that made him stand out in TNA. Especially by around the time he left TNA I think he might have been the only guy in the whole company with a shaved face.
It's such a joy to listen to this man talk.Plain, Simple, Wise and has such a wonderful take on life; be it his art or his time away from work. Truly Phenomenal!
Captain Lou said it best:"Only two things are Real in this business, the Money & the Miles"
Member when aj looked like an extra for blue mountain state
carne asuhh dude haha he did! Short spiky hair, seashell choker, and sleeveless shirt.
It's good he was amazing even back then, because he looked like and had the charisma of a brain dead jock.
Hahahaha
Hahaha, with his little pooka necklace. Yeah, I could picture it
Great Interview Sam, you and AJ play off eachother very well and I'm looking forward to the next one
24:30 "And he retired" this didn't age well...
At 12:21 he is talking about Enzo Amore Lmfao
A.J. is top ten g.o.a.t.
That podcast AJ is talking about is the Don Tony and Kevin Castle show lol. They're good dudes. They have given AJ a hard time before, but has done a complete 180 on him.
I think the thing that no other wrestling company except for WWE can have shows in MSG is messed up.
Jamie Wiesner even more dumb when you actually realize they dont host any more ppv or television shows at MSG.
Jairo Bobadilla thats because all televised shows in MSG require union employees which costs WWE a lot of money.
Jamie Wiesner I think its awesome. Has a real old school wrestling feel to it. Vince has his own parking spot there, pretty awesome.
i read somewhere that vince told MSG that he doesnt want any promotion in MSG
Agreed, #monopolysucks...
Gave this video a thumbs up less than four min in. Fantastic interviewer in Sam Roberts and phenomenal wrestler in AJ Styles!
I'm still waiting on lethal leap year...
SUSAN?!
AJ Styles vs Kenny Omega Wrestlemania 35.
roburtrage Kenny signed a new contract with NJPW, and they're building for AJ V Shinsuke at Mania
mama mia
Yeah, for Mania 34. That's why I said Mania 35.
roburtrage read it wrong my b, but yeah that would be the shit
roburtrage Kenny Omega is garbage, sure he might be a great wrestler but that's it
You kept it for so long unposted?? Before talking smack was done with? Awesome interview btw.
AJ the best to ever lace them up!!
aj seems down to earth
daniel bryan 30:30
haqzuk Thanks
"You can't always be on top". Someone show this to CM Phil Brooks.
Timothy JB Punk understood this he even mentioned in his shoot interview that Bryan was the one who deserved to main event WM 30.
He mentioned before that he wants somebody from nxt I believe it was big e to be his next feud
Timothy JB to be honest he had two chances main event wrestlemaina both were canned though.
Kyle Razo He got pushed down because of Rock v Cena. Then they had him drop the belt to Rock. to only do Rock v Cena AGAIN! Giving the belt to Cena which no one wanted.
Dilay Aydoğdu u fool. Cena is the most humble unlike ur cry baby punk who just is jealous. The company wants cena n he obliges. Best for wwe business dat moron punk left the company. He had become a big liability for wwe.
Well he should be Wwe champion again right now. Actually looking back I'd rather that he didn't lose it in the first place. Cena only had it for a stat, Bray finally won it but not for long at all, then Orton had it and no one really cared, and now Jinder has it and no one cares. And all of this combined has hurt Smackdown a lot.
What a good interview, thank you. Love AJ.
CM Punk should listen to this interview and stop just thinking about himself
Lucid Dreamer go watch wrestlelamea channel they will explain his situation better he had a good reason to have his attitude after hearing the bull he went through
No Vince and Roman need to listen to this...Vince especially.
Lucid Dreamer CM Punk should clip his ballsack!!!
TheWebmasterJL1 such a weird person.
Scott Trotter I think he did because AJ STYLES is WWE Champion.
Everyone wants Aj vs Nakamura
But I rather have aj vs Finn or aj vs Seth
finn aj is a feud that has such a passive building that its killing me, the whole bullet club behind them, there is so much to it
Culture Vulture What about AJ vs Alexa Bliss in a fuck match???
Aj looks huge
Shinsuke Nakamura vs AJ Styles
Wrestlemania 34
I loved the San Diego quote. Of course I love Anchorman.
I'm in love with aj styles 😍😍😍😍
He’s right fight ya bullies they are weak I know!!! 🔥💪🏻💯.
10:32... I mean, I imagine Claire Lynch would be hard to forget.
Why does everyone refuse to mention other companies by name, but then say them anyway some time into the interview?
Is this the night he wins the US Title?
I prefer these one on ones then having the wrestling guests in the studio. Guys like jim are just too uneducated on the business and the state of wrestling today.
i love aj the goat
Been waiting for this interview since July.
i actually noticed they never touched the ground, i think it was in the royal rumble so i knew that because everything was on the mat it all became much much better.
24:50 ...and now Shawn is coming back for his biggest payday ever on their Saudi show which is the most controversial show ever, that shouldn't even be happening...
Both Daniel Bryan And AJ Styles can wrestle rings around someone like CM Punk yet they are probably the most humble people in this industry to date. Punk can cut a better promo but he's really nothing special in the ring when compared to the likes of AJ Styles.
Great interview!
look at the hair styles on display here... good God.
will he upload summersam with sasha banks and seth rollins
xtina banks I hope.
yeah if he didnt tho do you have any idea where can we find it ?? please tell me if you know
xtina banks I'll tell you if I find out.
I think it's getting released as a podcast first, the video will probably come a week+ later.
Malibu Al! Great to see him out of the penitentiary.
Is your camera man pissed
I wanna see the spinal tap in WWE, maybe a springboard version done against Ricochet.
20:00 you good camera guy?
The love you have for AJ is smt you have no control over
12:30 must be Enzo Amore
LMFAO I commented the same thing lol
kabztunes Prolly😅😅😅
Kenny has worked for the wwe...he was in developmental but has also gone on record saying he absolutely hated it. When you taste something for the first time and it's disgusting, you tend to be less apt to try it again
Josh Farris he hated being there with Demott. The PC is miles better than what it was years ago, especially with Demott not being there.
Josh Farris NXT has grown a lot since he was there. He left because he was bullied
Josh Farris ummkay?
Nelson Sanchez and it wasn't only cause of Demott. That was only a small part of it.
Kenny has said in shoots that Demott was never really an issue to him since Kenny always made sure to be the "best" of the class when it came to drills and such. I'm sure he wasn't ok with how Bill reated others, though. Johnny Ace was apparently a big supporter of Kenny's, but then after Kenny quit Johnny told him that he could help get him booked in AJPW, but of course Johnny never answered Kenny's calls after that point. I'd be more upset at that personally, at least Bill doesn't hide who he really is or make empty promises.
Aj styles vs Prince Devitt WM 34
First two minutes need to be redone
Is the camera man drunk?
Jouni Hakkarainen Nah, Mickie James was giving him head
TheWebmasterJL1 lol alright now your comments are laughable.
I would love to see these guys back in New Japan. New Japan is the hottest thing in wrestling
juice9100 Agreed...
I hope he goes back before he retires. Shinsuke should have never left njpw. Finn balor needs to go back to Njpw, wwe don't know to use him anyway.
Love you Aj!!!!!!😘 #phenomenal
The Fearless Nikki Bella 301 So you're hot, right?
TheWebmasterJL1 wrong
AJ vs Nakamura at mania now will be awesome
can't wait for Nakamura VS AJ at Wrestlemania...Should Be Amazing!!!
You are really looking great like always I am a happy person cause you are with me all the time I really appreciate you to be with me for a long time AAJ I love you so much I am very happy to here for you a long time ❤❤
I hope you will be able to wrestle for a long time cause we have time AAJ you will have a great look and I be happy to keep watching you on television show episodes I love watching you wrestle I really love your new clothes you are wearing now the black outfits look great look on you
You are great man who I really love for a long time
he needs to go back to that njpw hairstyle..
I cannot wait to wrestle in September in the wwa4 like aj and Apollo crews just wait on it
Hey Sam, buy two tripods.
aj styles vs shinsuke vs kenny vs finn
he's a wrestling genius
Where's Mr . Norton? ? He would like this guy
Who would put who over. Shawn vs Aj
Snake Pliskiin Chances are Shawn would go over
Best in the world
NJPW could definitely sell out MSG in a heartbeat wouldn't be surprised if next US G1 special is there like they had in LA
THE WORLD OF MER LOL LISTEN TO AJ
Chris M no thanks I'll listen to the 10 minute sell out first time NJPW came to LA😂🤣
THE WORLD OF MER No listen to aj DIVE
var1ables hypothetically if they could use MSG they would sell out MSG in a heartbeat didn't think had to fully explain myslef.So much for giving people the benefit of the doubt.That was my point i heard what AJ said only wwe could perform there sports entertainment wise so hold your horses jr.
what about all-state arena?
I wonder why wwe don't have t.v shows or ppvs at the garden no more after all the years of doing so
Too expensive to produce.
Stinson Swarley oh ok
Jose Davila to expensive to rent
aj styles vs shinsuke nakamura...WM34
siddhartha bhattacharya welp that's happening
Everyone has a podcast but me 😭
Really want him to do a another podcast with Randy Orton
The part about MSG, after G1 Supercard sold out a little while back. 😂
video portion sent late!!!
damn......I heard the entire 44:30
24:44 if only he knew :/
goodinterview
Why is it that every wwe wrestler becomes nearly double there size if steroids are not a factor
Angel Gonzalez AJ been big since his TNA days but yeah he got more muscle recently
Angel Gonzalez cause WWE forces you to work harder than any other company. Your in the big leagues, so of course your are going to change physically.
this was right before Aj won the title from Owens
Wow aj glad he doesnt push to the moon on his first wrestlemania. Look boman lames. He is not shame to be pushing to the moon (3x main event wrestlemania).
Rein Rivai Whether Roman wants it or not is irrelevant. He doesn't book the shows
I have to disagree. AJ can gain a ton from wrestling from Shawn Michaels. Shawn however doesn't take anything out of the match if he loses... and Shawn knows that would be right thing to do if he was to come back for AJ. I doubt HBK wants to do the right so thats why hes not coming back lol.
The man thats better than Shawn Michaels
And AJ is also in the video
Malibu Al: Because AJ loves Malibu rum
AJ FN STYLES
Mercedes is the car sponsor
Aj vs Gable
Sam doesn't like wrestling no no no HE LOVES IT!
The master of the calf crusher
Ahem...
...FUCK YES
