TNA wrestling star AJ Styles (Allen Jones)
He's kinda having a weird year to be considered one of the cornerstones for the TNA brand. He wins (and well deserved) the World title for only the second time in his career earlier this year, but with the help of wrestling Hall of famer Ric Flair. He lost it over two months ago to the just recently signed Rob Van Dam. He remains linked to Flair, even taking on some of the Nature Boy's signature traits from the cheating tactics to the entrance robe. All of it comes across as silly for Styles who was being promoted as the all-around face during his career (except when he aligned with Christian circa 2005/06)plus he's too nice of a family man to portray a shady character.
Now that Flair is starting a new stable called Fortune (a play off his former stable the Four Horsemen)he has instated Styles and Kazarian to be the leaders, of course until they add the other 2 members. This past Thursday on Impact, Styles won the TNA Global championship from "the Freak" Rob Terry, of course with help from Kazarian.
If he can get back to putting on classic matches while maintaining a heel persona, while having an impressive Global championship run, the "Phenomenal one" can be the superstar Hulk Hogan once vowed the young man to be.
