To describe AJ Styles in a word? Phenomenal … and he would be the first to tell you that, along with many, many, many other things.
While he might be full of himself, absolutely no one can deny Styles’ ability. Known the world over for his in-ring prowess, thrilling aerial maneuvers and supreme confidence, Styles has found success everywhere he’s traveled, accumulating an incredibly impressive résumé, capped off by sports-entertainment’s most prestigious title, the WWE Championship. But, despite his tremendous talent and fierce intensity on the mic, his often underhanded tactics have overshadowed his achievements on more than one occasion.
Like him or loathe him, you can’t argue with success, and Styles backs up every bit of his outspoken nature in the ring as one of the top Superstars on SmackDown LIVE.
What’s next for him is anybody’s guess. The only safe bet is that it will be … yup, phenomenal.
Joe Koff
Ring Of Honor COO Joe Koff recently spoke with Dayton Daily News; you can read a few excerpts below:
Joe Koff comments on Ring of Honor being more in-ring focused while WWE is an entertainment based company:
“What WWE has achieved is amazing, and we could never get there. We are now just maturing as a company. But what’s most important to me, is maintaining the integrity of what we do week in and week out. We let our quality of wrestling speak for itself.
“They are more spectacle than in-ring product. Pomp and circumstance is their thing. This generation, they want to see John Cena or The Rock, guys who are stars in other media, and it’s more like a concert. We’d like to grow, but we don’t want to impugn the product, and I’ll never do that. We want preservation.”
