dude a heel wearing shit that makes you hate him is a heel doing his fucking job

 

there's lots of arguments against AJ. don't fall for that shit. come on. I like you. you're better than that.

 

I voted Cavernario because while AJ The Good Wrestler was a pleasant surprise, Cavernario was a fucking revelation emerging from nowhere as a fucking amazing gimmick worker.

Jesus - do I have to put emoticons in every fucking post I make

I could give two shits about AJ Styles

 

I want Cavernario to win the whole God Damn thing.

 

Thus "AJ must be eliminated this round"

 

Good Lord...

AJ wears the same awful crap as a face, doing his traveling Indy superstar gimmick. Truthfully now that Ziggler is out I have to channel my hatred toward someone else.

AJ Styles broke Lionheart's neck, in England. Before breaking Yoshi Tatsu's.

 


UK WRESTLER LIONHEART WRITES OPEN LETTER TO AJ STYLES Wednesday, 26 November 2014 12:31 by Jason Namako

UK wrestler Lionheart recently posted the following open letter on Facebook to former TNA star and current New Japan & ROH performer AJ Styles, asking him to stop using his "Styles Clash" finishing move after Yoshitatsu announced yesterday on Twitter that he suffered a broken neck taking a bad landing on Styles' Styles Clash at the 11/8 New Japan "Power Struggle" iPPV. Lionheart also suffered a broken neck taking a bad landing off the Styles Clash in a match with Styles earlier this year in the UK. Lionheart's letter is as follows:

I'll make the assumption he sees this somehow so please read and share... I'd like to openly address him...

Firstly, I hope things are well for you and family... I wanted to write you because I feel it's important someone speak up in a more formal and diplomatic manner, as opposed to simply throwing abuse via anonymous social media ramblings...

Here's the truth... The move is not directly dangerous... It's a simple move in principle... Arms and legs locked, you fall forward, guy looks up/back, easy... The Styles Clash 'on paper' is a fairly safe and basic process...

That said, what is dangerous, is the instinctual reaction of your opponent... The wrestler taking the move, who like any wrestler taking any move, their safety and welfare is the priority...

Without ANY injuries, it could be argued that the mechanics of the move are unnatural, and injury could easily happen due to the physical restrictions and instinctual habits of the recipient... The numbers now are surely too great to even call it an argument?

I'm more than happy to be educated on my statistics, but there can be no move in wrestling history that carries more (documented) serious and potentially career threatening injuries than this... This, is what makes the move dangerous, whether indirectly or not...

Thus far, more specifically the last 12 months, several performers, actual experienced athletes, have been injured with this, 2 of them now with broken necks... The question I want to put to you honestly is, what does it take? What will it actually take for you to stop using this move, at the very least on an independent level, with people not necessarily exposed to the experience of working with you and taking the move semi regularly... How honestly will you feel the day you receive the news that the man you just wrestled has a broken neck and will never walk again? Statistically, that day is coming... It is a mathematical certainty...

I take this opportunity now, to openly and publicly beg you... Please, stop using the Styles Clash... You are unquestionably one of the greatest in ring performers of our time, I truly believe that... But the time is now, to put all pride, ego, blame aside, and acknowledge that irrelevant of fault, circumstance or anything else, the move is a direct risk and a danger to the safety and well being of your fellow wrestler...

All the best.

A

Styles has yet to respond to the open letter as of this writing.

Michelle McCool does his finisher better than him! Michelle McCool, guys! Oh, I still voted for AJ Styles. Fuck this other spanish dude.

 

CAVERNARIO is the BEST! Why didn't I vote for him! I clicked the wrong button! Noooooooooooooooo! :(

 

To be serious:

 

I don't watch much of mexican wrestling, because I don't like it. So I don't know him. And AJ had that match against Suzuki. So he wins for me.

See, I know a lot of people made fun of TNA for that AJ Styles-The Flying Forearm T-Shirt design. But I always thought that his springboard forearm smash was a better finish than the Styles Clash... it's the sort of move that only looks impactful if the person hitting the move is significantly taller than the one taking it (hence Michelle McCool's version being better), and it would work best as a set-up to a knee submission anyway, as the knees are clearly taking a harder impact that any other body part. Plus when he sets it up, it looks like he's going for either a Piledriver or Powerbomb, both of which are better looking finishing moves than the 'Clash, so it's always disappointing when he hits it. Plus he keeps seriously injuring people with it, and then uses the dickhead "It's impossible for me to injure anyone doing the Styles Clash, they can only injure themselves" excuse. Which to me sounds like complete and utter bullshit.

How about you Morelock?

News to me, but what's that got to do with his year in wrestling? I don't listen to all their shoot interviews or whatever, I just watch the matches. Explain to me what's so horrible about AJ Styles, the pro wrestler, this last year.

He cripples people?

Aside from the gay-bashing, which absolutely is enough reason for me to write him off forever, I've never enjoyed his style of wrestling (whoever said he is basically the Young Bucks was spot on) and don't feel it has substantially improved at any point, let alone over the last year.

I think the tendency to give unwarranted love to gaijins working NJPW has been around since I jumped into the IWC on RSPW 18 or so years ago.

 

Damn Smoreslock has it been that long now? But yeah fuck AJ. Never cared for his ring work.
