Wrestler of The Week #15 AJ Styles

Before I begin this is something I begin on a site called XWA Universe. You might remember that XWA was the forum I advertised on the side panel to your right. Well I had a falling out with them. But don't worry their lose is this blogs gain. I'm going to continue Wrestler of The Week right here on The Rants of Wrestling.

It's going to be different of course. I used to have a generator randomly pick from a group of 50 wrestlers and tag teams. Well that's out the window. Instead I'm going to pick the wrestler myself. It's going to be someone that's done something newsworthy in the week like it should be. Maybe sometimes it'll be someone that I just want to highlight because he or she is not a house hold name. So here's the continuation of Wrestler of The Week here on The Rants of Wrestling!

Our wrestler of the week is former ROH Pure, TNA X-Division, NWA World Tag Team, TNA Tag Team, NWA World Heavyweight and TNA World Heavyweight Champion AJ Styles!

Most of you will know AJ Styles as Mr. TNA, or Mr. Impact Wrestling. Whatever. His their first X-Division Champion. A lot of people will say that he build that division. He along with Low Ki and Jerry Lynn made TNA worth watching in their early days. By TNA's First Anniversary AJ Styles defeated Jeff Jarrett for The NWA World Heavyweight Championship.

You should all know how his run goes. He keeps going from being a main event star to being misused and back and forward. He goes between highs and lows. The reason he's wrestler of the week though is that there's been rumors of him not resigning with TNA. We keep hearing conflicting reports. He has been accepting independent bookings outside TNA. He's even going to do a CZW live internet pay per view.



But the reason he's the wrestler of the week is because he's making a return to Ring of Honor. I think this really shows that Styles and TNA had a falling out in contract negotiations. Styles was in and out of Ring of Honor between 2002 and 2005. He was their first Pure Wrestling Champion, beating CM Punk for the belt. He made a memorable feud with Jimmy Rave over The Styles Clash. In my opinion Styles is the biggest free agent in pro wrestling right now. And ROH was very smart to grab him up.



Styles returns to ROH's Nashville TV Tapping along with Chris Hero, making this a very exciting beginning for 2014. Plus you add in the fact that it's going to be at the old TNA Asylum and you know we're going to get a very special night.
