AJ is easily the greatest homegrown star in TNA/Impact history. He was there all the way back during those NWA days and stayed there until his talent outgrew the company and really became a worldwide superstar.

[@RetroProg]

The threeway with Joe and Daniels is required watching for anyone who wants to get into Pro Wrestling, you could tell just how proud he is of that match. I've been watching wrestling for a long time and Its one of the five best matches I've seen in the last 40 years.

[@Filminformer1984]

He should’ve stuck it out in WWE. AJ Styles on TNA all those years is like if Ichiro Suzuki never came to the MLB.

[@NickPR87]

@@Filminformer1984 I think he got to WWE at the perfect time. He had already built a name for himself without them and him joining was the cherry on top for his career. Rather than coming before and hardly being taken seriously or even used outside of a dying cruiserweight division back in the mid-2000's. He's one of a handful of guys who started as a cruiserweight, but it's believable enough in his offensive arsenal to be mixing it up with bigger guys and people buying him as more than just an underdog.

[@RetroProg]

@@Filminformer1984 Hardly, All the best workers in the business were outside WWE at that time and VKM BS policies would have not let him develop like he did AJ played his hand perfectly. Super over all around the world in his prime then took the final big pay day.

[@RetroProg]

@@jimjaspers3050 Mid to Late 2000s Unbreakable 2005 is the PPV that had the triple threat match between Styles, Daniels and Sam Joe. The Danielson McGuiness matches in RoH at about the same time are also masterclasses.

I’m happy Vince allowed AJ to appear on the show even though it wasn’t in person. AJ without a doubt is the biggest homegrown star TNA/Impact has EVER created.

rip don west

[@phillipcrowell9616]

Fact

[@davidnetterwald1846]

They reminded me of Gorilla Monsoon and Bobby Heenan. With Tenay being the serious knowledgeable announcer and Don West being the character. I would listen to Don West go absolutely bonkers during X division matches to the point where I would ask myself Jesus is he okay? The chemistry between them reminded me a lot of Gorilla and Heenan. Now that Don West is gone it makes me miss those days when Mike Tenay and Don West would call matches they were and will forever be the voices of TNA.

I always enjoyed tna. Even when it was in the beginning and the six sided ring. A lot of people didn’t care for it but enjoying the difference of the companies at the time it was amazing.

The godfathers of TNA's tag division, AMW 😎🤠 , Godfather of X Division, AJ Styles

[@davidnetterwald1846]

A lot of people throughout the 20 plus years of Impact Wrestling/TNA have written it off and dismissed it. Some people even have wanted it to fail and go out of business. Despite all the hate and criticism and insults though. Impact Wrestling has hung on and despite what some of the haters say the impact pardon the pun that it left on the wrestling industry in its 20 years is undeniable. Whether it be the X division or the Knockouts division or their tag team division. They changed wrestling for the better. If not for TNA/Impact Wrestling I probably would have given up on wrestling altogether in the early 2000’s. I first started watching Impact Wrestling around 2006 and I have been a fan ever since. There was some times when I wasn’t watching but I never stopped loving it or supporting it.
