    Aj styles is something thats missing in the modern day wrestling, especially for high flyers. Instead of doing moves just because they can, he made it looked like he had to, the selling, the timing, the facial expression, body language, ring awareness, everything made sense. He and his generation of wrestlers just made wrestling seemed more realistic. Hes simply phenomenal.

      @KeltonGiovanneMassinga 2 года назад +26

      You’re spot on. He makes it seem as if that’s the only way to defeat his opponent. He’s not trying to put on a “show.” He’s tryna win

      "Modern Day Wrestling"?.. Compared to Ancient Wrestling?
      Do you even know what Modern Day is?

      @FishHookEXE 2 года назад +9

      The funny thing is though - back when AJ was new on the scene, a fair amount of people were saying the exact same kinda stuff about him. Flippy high flier guy, just doing moves because he can.
      It all goes in a cycle. A few of those young fellas just doing moves will have it all click one day too.

      Prime AJ was a couple of years ago when he was beating Cena, etc. I watched him from the beginning and he's improved so much more today than people realise. In WWE he learned storytelling which took his game to another level.

      I don't know. AJ looks like a jobber in WWE now.
      Sure, he did hold the WWE title for a whole year, but that was back in 2017 and 2018.

    Some of the best storytelling in wrestling history. This didn’t feel like a wrestling match. It felt like a fight. It felt like a horror movie where the main hero needs to survive the monster. Fighting out of the cage made sense in this case because AJ is trying to weaken Abyss before having to be trapped in the cage with him.
    AJ Styles around this time was probably the best in the world and Abyss in 04-05 is one of the best big men ever.

    Is it just me or does anyone else have an advert pop up literally every minute on every match on this channel?

    People are saying TNA has been better, well I personally think it's picking up a bit. It's gone downhill a little since EC3 won the world heavyweight championship, but as soon as he loses it it'll pick up. Also, Velvet Sky is back, that's definitely a plus
