More TNA coming soon. AJ's run here was super important as it connected with his next couple of years. It's unfortunate that the relationship with TNA ended as it did, but Styles went on to do much greater things. What did you think of Lone Wolf AJ Styles?

[@mgtwrestling123]

I'm not familiar with AJ styles TNA run so this is good video to educate me about some of it

[@flex4719]

Jeff hardy Charismatic Engima run in Tna was amazing you should make a videos on that

[@yourfavoriteentertainment]

That was his best character work.

[@bastienclo2388]

Aj is phenomenal in every single company the best wrestler of this generation in my opinion great video like always

[@lordbendtner6404]

Lone wolf rivalry baron corbin v styles

[@carlosrp23]

That transition from Evil Ways to Get Ready to Fly is probably my favorite TNA moment ever. Absolutely loved this run for AJ.

[@wrestlingspremier]

So iconic. It's one of those moments that can't be explained.

[@heauxbythepound]

couldn’t agree more

[@hs4695]

I can never forget screaming in my house when get ready to fly came back and he took his hood off to join the 10 man tag match. An iconic TNA moment for me

[@CharlesHitmanStone]

That still gives me chills. I wish he could bring GRTF back

[@TRAY2COCKY]

Is there a video of this transition

[@sethfreakinrollins9889]

AJ Styles is one of the greatest professional wrestlers to ever lace up a pair of boots.

[@dkj4593]

I personally like this run of AJ Styles in TNA. He played the Lone Wolf character pretty well. It's kinda crazy to think that this was at the twilight of his TNA run before he finally left the company.

[@ajtaylor8750]

The "Phenomenal One" nickname perfectly fits AJ Styles. He's the guy that got me back into the WWE post-Pipebomb as I just didn't bother watching wrestling after that, but I watched his run on TNA and then comes his Royal Rumble debut at #2 which was just....Ahhhh man how dope that was to witness live. His matches with Finn Balor are some of my favorites in this modern era of wrestling, and knowing he's going to retire when his current contract is up is bittersweet but man did this guy have a hell of a career.

[@JarlinJamesNDK13]

he debuted at 3 not 2

[@smolgrizzly4608]

​@@JarlinJamesNDK13 no 1 and 2 are both technically #1 . Although WWE doesn't officially recognize it that way and i say that's stupid bs

[@JarlinJamesNDK13]

@@smolgrizzly4608 it is not. There are 30 contestants. Its basic math

[@smolgrizzly4608]

@@JarlinJamesNDK13 #1 and #2 start the match at the same time. They would both have to last the same amount of time in order to win and none of them have any advantage over the other. So saying that "Shawn Michaels won the royal rumble at #1 position" and " Rey Mysterio won at #2" takes away some of the credit as face value

[@smolgrizzly4608]

@@JarlinJamesNDK13 the number of contestants are indeed 30. But the number of position you can start from is 29 because 1 and 2 are the basically the same thing.

[@Boy123Jim]

The best version of AJ Styles. The genesis of what was to come, after TNA in 2014. To ROH & NJPW in 2015, to WWE in 2016. TNA's GOAT!

[@EZNathan_]

This led to AJ being one of the best Modern-day IWGP World Heavyweight Champion. P.S. his NJPW theme is a banger

[@TuPapiRicoSuave]

5:36 The Phenomenal Walkout, That’s Fucking Clever Bruh 😫🫡😂

[@youngvoice7961]

This man should be wwe champion again imo. he is one of the best to ever lace a pair of boots. And I hope WWE will push him again.

[@TheeIdol]

TNA booked him like a million bucks in his final match, it took 12 people to defeat him that is an awesome sendoff

[@rigobertoalcantar9519]

You should do a part 2 and do from his time in ROH & NJPW till he was in the rumble

[@lwandomadikizela2213]

Aj Styles was at his best in 2013 at TNA. The lone wolf gimmick was peak Styles along with his 2016 heel run in WWE.

[@PraiseThaDon]

Prolly his best gimmick besides his 2016 heel run.

[@reeseangle9621]

Bullet club leader was his best run 🏃‍♂️

[@alec2000]

Oh man. AJ Styles truly is one of the greatest wrestlers to ever exist. While I’m not a fan of TNA/Impact compared to others, and am more familiar with his WWE career, I still respect him for all the cool stuff he’s done for the world of pro wrestling. He truly is phenomenal.👍

[@theafrowizard1198]

This was my personal favorite AJ gimmick, it was different from his usual high flying ways. He was darker, more intense, and dressed in black as opposed to his colorful attire. I just wish it lasted a little longer cause I feel like it could've gone farther imo

[@JacksonLane02]

I feel like Styles should be on a mount Rushmore for greatest Impact Wrestling/TNA wrestlers. He's such a phenomenal talent yes that was intended, without him Impact Wrestling probably wouldn't have been as popular as it was during his time there

[@CharlesHitmanStone]

He IS the Cornerstone of TNA. He’s the first person you should think of when you hear TNA

[@CARL_093]

finally bro i really remember aj style 's lone wolf run the best time

[@noahp1124]

I always thought he looked his most badass coming out to evil ways . I’d like if just one time before he retires soon he brings back that hair cut and persona. Right now he’s just there. Had a great run in wwe but they’re wasting his final years in my opinion

[@dark_knight_dj]

After AJ left I kinda stopped watching TNA and AJ was the reason I checked out the independent wrestling scene you should do a video of his time in Bullet Club

[@taylormademyself89]

Aj styles will always be the greatest of all time in my mind and his triple threat match with samoa joe and Christopher daniels as the best match ever 😎🤟🙏

[@The_abzilla]

Honestly I really enjoyed this run. Long term storytelling and still get goosebumps when Styles came out and his music charged from Evil Ways to Get Ready to Fly. Such an iconic moment in both TNA and AJ Styles history. One of my personal favorite moments to take place in the company

[@Tmack034]

When AJ left was when I stopped watching tna

[@uainjansun]

same lol. to be honest after his recent appearance in the company im happy theyre on decent terms. at the end tna made aj a big and legendary star for the company!

[@JCOH-TV]

AJ>HBK as pure in ring talent

[@orlandodanielperez5131]

Yeah but charisma and promos HBK>AJ. Shawn would tear him up in a promo battle.

[@abdullahamr9941]

So this was the AJ styles being the anti hero anime character arc cool

[@ashrollins7305]

Bro make video on TNA vs impact wrestling Which one is best

[@TjayN2o]

I Have Always Liked his Loner Gimmick he should bring it back one day in a Different Adaptation’s

[@ahmadceasar5484]

Finally the goat is back to...... KZbin Aj styles the greatest of this generation im just saying aj over kenny

[@brookburrell554]

AJ is was & will always be the Heart & soul of TNA if we don't have AJ Styles we don't Have TNA

[@GlobalEnigma64]

AJ was sort of going through a dark Sting phase. He was lost, quite and even more dangerous but also moving alone.

[@matthewbyrd8174]

This is my favorite AJ styles gimmick this lead the way for his WWE title run and heel run in wwe

[@wijinsama]

Aj Styles went from looking like troubled youth, to a emo phase, to looking like a mother of troubled youth.

[@lilSenDog]

Just wait till you see his final form

[@borgeswilson9945]

You should cover the Triple H, Kurt Angle, and Stephanie McMahon storyline from 2000

[@wrestlingspremier]

I got that in mind.

[@Venemofthe888]

It felt like this was TNA's version of when Sting changed into the crow.

[@ElmoKnowsWhereYouLive5150]

This angle was crucial to AJ's career. This was unquestionably the best character work of his career (up to this point) and his much maligned promo skills (and rightfully so) DRASTICALLY improved, which in hindsight is probably at least partially attributed to the fact that he stopped speaking for a while, a la Sting circa '96-'97, so when he finally did speak, it meant much more. There was one spot where James Storm (I think) confronted him, and AJ nailed him with a Pelé kick, and his hood (which was off) came on perfectly. That was awesome.

[@frankfigueroa1434]

Love your work man 💪🏻💪🏻

[@Jalexander99]

Was AJ considered one of the best in the world while he was in TNA? I wasn’t watching wrestling back then so I wonder what the wrestling community thought about him at the time.

[@jkdeclaro]

By a long mile. He was TNA’s cornerstone ever since Day 1, yet he left on bad terms which was a pity

[@arvindshastry1178]

@@jkdeclaro He was actually open to negotiate with TNA but they were cutting his salary by half so he said fuck it, let's go somewhere else.

[@ShubhamMishrabro]

@@jkdeclaro nah he was going to come back in 2016

[@HighWoody]

All we need is wwe to acknowledge his accomplishments like how they did Mickey James

[@brandonharper3221]

Aj is just a f'n awesome athlete still to this day, and I loved his lone wolf gimmick. He character was dark, he didn't really talk, his in ring style had become more aggressive and he just whooped ass

[@MCMDoffical666]

I’m sorry but how is this a cheap summer of punk when his story went better than the summer of punk

[@mariobros68]

Cause it was a rip off of say Storyline, but unlike the WWE's version in 2011, the TNA's version (like you said) was better due to show what could the Summer of Punk would be; personal stuff bewteen wrestler and the company, the legacy of the World Championship away from the promotion and being defended in other wrestlers promotions, etc of stuff.

Agree it's the same basic storyline of punks but had enough differences to make it different and AJ is a better wrestler than Punk

[@bowlstriker5596]

They should do this with John Cena when he turns heel but modify it of course so it isn't a cheap version of this run. like Cena should have a faction like Damien Priest, T ba,r Rea Ripley, Kevin Owens, R Truth, etc call it Cena foundation or the Menace society or something. AJ Styles is the pillar of TNA and without him, TNA would be bought out I mean tony owns TNA I guess.

[@michaelromano1924]

I feel like TNA let AJ Styles down,He was TNA. Dixie Carter should of never signed Hulk Hogan & Eric. If she had half a brain she would of Kept The TNA Originals the guys that built TNA. AJ Styles,Christopher Daniels,Samon Joe,Beer Money.

[@joseph.taylor305]

AJ Styles final year in tna underrated phenomenal matches

[@bluearrow_001]

His finisher the phenomenal walkout 😭😭😭😭😭

[@damaniresida6439]

The most protected move in wrestling history!!! Not even brock lesnar or undertaker or john cena can kick out😂

[@nathanheckelman302]

Evil Ways A.J. Styles was arguably the best transitional chapter of a wrestler leaving one company in favor of another in history. Evil Ways/Lone Wolf A.J. was booked against Magnus and the entire TNA Roster of Midcard talent and was shown to be superior to all of them, A.J. made the few Main Event Talent tap out to the Calf Killer. Evil Ways/Lone Wolf A.J. Styles was the transition of an underutilized man in TNA into the leader of The Bullet Club with said Faction becoming the strongest faction in wrestling in nearly a decade. Evil Ways/Lone Wolf A.J. Styles was better than Summer of Punk especially in hindsight and with how much of cancerous tumor CM Punk is to wrestling.

[@nicholausbell2749]

The Fact AJ Styles is not in the TNA hall of fame yet is mind boggling to me he carried that crap ass company I bet there denying him of how he left bro u gave em a paycut ur own damn fault get that man in the HOF already

[@HomelanderHL2]

AJ Styles was their chose to be the Top Babyface and they screwed it over. It have potential and he's over with a new look.

[@flex4719]

You should do Jeff Hardy or the ace & eight video

[@original123kid7]

Oh man TNA was on fire in 2012-13 could have been as big as WWE but that potential went down hill fast in 2014

Aj been my favorite wrestler since 2003. I was so happy when he went to WWE to officially become the global star. But aj embodies how Indy wrestlers should move.

This is arguable the BEST RUN OF AJ STYLES'S CAREER. (Besides when he led Bullet Club)

I thought aj was gonna join aces and 8s as a kid and god did I love aces and 8s

[@FaysalIsGoated]

AJ during this time basically played the same role that Sting played in the NWO Angle in WCW. Sting was the biggest star WCW had ever created. He stayed quiet and inactive during the 1st year of the NWO’s existence. And eventually he was the main one who led WCW in the war with the NWO. And at WCW’s biggest show of the year, Starrcade 1997, he dethroned Hollywood Hogan for the WCW World Championship. AJ was the biggest star TNA had ever created. When Aces and Eights ran took over the company, AJ stayed away from all the drama like Sting did. And eventually he became the old AJ again and at Bound For Glory 2013, he dethroned Bully Ray for the TNA World Championship.

[@michaelromano1924]

Bring guys like Sting,Kurt Angle,RVD,Jeff & Matt Hardy and more WWE/WCW/ECW Wrestlers made TNA better but the truth why AJ Styles left was because Dixie Carter bought Hulk Hogan in that was all about the money 💰 🤑 and killed TNA. TNA put the World Title on AJ Styles 4x in his career,2x NWA World Champion 2x TNA World Champion. But yet he was the face of TNA,Samon Joe another Example of TNA management being trash 🗑 and wasting another get wrestler career there. 1x TNA World Heavyweight champion,0 runs with NWA World Heavyweight Championship. Even though he had the longest Undefeated Streak in TNA til Crimson broke it.
