The fact that TNA hasn't made this Bruce Banner/AJ Styles storyline with the TNA title part of their #365 thing is pretty crazy. The problem with doing that is that they would have to have TNA's YouTube channel acknowledge AJ's claim to the title, which makes no sense for Dixie to allow. It's not like TNA couldn't set a Youtube account for Styles. Remember TNARULZFOOLZ and his eyewitness account of Crimson being in a "bar fight"?

I had completely forgotten about Crimson's existence until you reminded me, but yes, I do remember the Samao Joe bar fight now that you mention it. Never seen worked punches at a bar fight before.

Well that's your opinion but I respectfully disagree. In the ring, not counting on the mic where he is undoubtedly - flawed - shall we say, he'd be in the top 3 of the company. In fact I only think Bryan could ever lay a claim to being a better in-ring wrestler than Styles. And even then Bryan's changed his style so much since coming to 'E that - while he's still very good - he's not the in-ring machine he was. So it's quite possible - at least in my opinion - that if AJ signed he'd be the best in-ring wrestler the 'E have. WWE got tons of wrestlers on their main roster and in developmental who are better than AJ in every facet of his game. If this was 10 years ago, he would be a more valued commodity. Adrian Neville does everything AJ can do ring wise and more. And he has youth on his side and less mileage on his body. WWE wants all new people to go through NXT no matter their experience level. They don't see him as someone worth the time and effort in developing. It's best for AJ to either stay in TNA or work independent. Well I disagree. AJ, even now, is still one of the best wrestlers in the world to me. His mic skills always leave a lot to be desired but I've never ceased being astounded by his matches. I think he's light years ahead of PAC personally but to each their own. I wasn't saying AJ would be able to bypass NXT. It's clear WWE want everyone to go through there regardless of experience (to avoid another Sin Cara incident) and personally I don't think they're that interested in signing AJ at all. I was just saying, in my opinion, that I think AJ is quite possibly better than any in-ring competitor the 'E has currently.

We got agree to disagree because AJ is very good but he's not better than a majority of guys in WWE in ring wise. He's not not the best in ring competitor in TNA. Austin Aries is much better.

You're probably right. As for not the best in TNA. It's close between him and Aries. And Aries is definitely the better all-round performer when you take mic skills and charisma into account. I'd probably give Aries the nod - just. But I'm biased as Aries has been my favourite wrestler pretty much since Nigel retired. But I wouldn't take that as a mark against AJ - I'd still say he's better in-ring than anyone in the 'E. It's just that Aries is a little better still.

FWIW AJ says he never talked to WWE
AJStyles.Org @ajstylesorg now Let me clear things up. I haven't talked with wwe. I shouldn't have to tell u this but, don't believe everything u read on the internet.
I do believe him when he says this though. With his family situation I don't think WWE was ever an option for him

Doing things that makes sense? This is the same lady who allowed Tito Ortiz's mystery unabomber threat vids to be played on TV.

With his family situation I don't think WWE was ever an option for him I have no idea whether he talked to the WWE or not, but if he did and they gave him a massive lowball offer as the WON claimed, of course he would deny it for no other reason than to make sure that TNA doesn't shaft him in contract negotiations.

Neville is amazing, for sure, and on pure "things he can do" he's beats out AJ, but Styles is SO crisp and fluid in the ring with every little thing he does. There are only a few out there who are as beautiful to watch wrestle as AJ, at least imo. He has a lot of flaws outside of the ring, but for me, he's one of the absolute best inside of it.

Honestly, I don't see why AJ would want to leave TNA. He's making a comfortable living and is working significantly less dates than he would on WWE's main roster. If he signed with WWE, he'd probably be forced to relocate his whole family.

This I think the guy is still equating flips to greatest omg wrestler ever AJ is highly overrated and overpushed. He always has gotten elongated runs that went nowhere. Really wish this was chris daniels or even james storm shitting on tna for shitting on them.

As I explained previously I think Bryan has become a lot more one-dimensional recently, very over reliant on anything that gets "YES!" chanted. He's still an amazing wrestler but I enjoy him less in the ring than I do AJ. Cena generally gets a hard time, he's a better wrestler than people give him credit for but he's far from AJ's level. He'd blow AJ away on charisma and mic skills but when it comes to purely in ring stuff AJ is light years ahead of him. Lesnar is a tough one. It's tough because Lesnar wrestles such a different style to every other wrestler I've ever seen. He brings an MMA sty;e more than anyone else and has this intensity and presence which is amazing. I do think though that AJ could've got much better matches out of HHH at Summerslam/Mania/Extreme Rules. It's a really tough one, I'm gonna cop out and say Lesnar doesn't count because he's only part-time .

Styles has the whole Bret Hart thing going on, while there are people better on the ring and on the mic, heck Owen was the better all round performer than him on paper, but there's an intangible quality to him that makes audiences get behind him which can't be manufactured, god knows the WWF tried during Bret's run on top and they're still trying to this day.
This is wrestling, it's an industry that's made a lot of money on surprises and unexpected signings and pushes so who knows what'll happen, I mean who could have predicted Albert returning to the WWE? Who predicted them re-signing Killings? Still, at the end of the day, Styles can make a decent living whoever he signs with, or if he chooses to work the odd Mexico and Japan tour and indy dates for the rest of his career. While he'll never end up a millionaire like some WWE guys, most WWE guys don't either, and he won't end up with the wear and tear the WWE schedule causes, or the inevitable string of ex wives to support so more power to him.

I think AJ Styles is one of the best wrestlers to ever step foot in a ring. His mic skills are average at best but he makes up for it with his amazing ring prowess.

The results are in:
AJ Styles defeated Seiya Sanada (via Calf Killer) in about 16 minutes to retain his title.
On the same show, the team of Jay Bradley and Rob Terry defeated Kaz Hayashi and Shuji Kondo in 4 minutes. As already mentioned, they're both staying in Japan till the end of the month and wrestling on five more W-1 shows.

I mean, neither one is terrible, but they need work.

I see big things in Bradley's future so I hope this tour works out for him.
