I've heard wrestling fans and youtubers say that AJ was not a good promo in TNA/impact, perhaps that's a bit harsh, he is fantastic here

[@brandonsettle8089]

He was fantastic because TNA had 0 influence over the promo, AJ was doing it from his own mind, body and soul which is really special for a guy who, at the time, had been with the company from day 1

[@jamesbyersmusic]

Hmmm, there was nothing wrong with his promos, but whenever they gave him "stuff" to do it never worked because he can't act.

[@vern8206]

Those are fans that obviously did not see what happened a few months after this promo when they did the fortune promos where they were going after Hogan and Bischoff. To be honest, that is some of AJ’s best work on the mic.

[@marcpower4167]

​@jamesbyersmusic there are some guys who can't follow a script per se and make it sound genuine. For them realistically you can give them some bullet points but let them do the "in between" themselves. AJ I think is one of those cases.

This was needed. Some look at it as an angle but Jeff didn’t do this behind the scenes he did this on live tv. He needed to hear this to fully understand this is your last chance bro. This was all out of love from AJ believe it or not. I’m just thankful Jeff got hisself together 🙏🏾. It was hard when Eddie passed, but I would of been done if Jeff died especially if he was cut down by addiction.

[@SvenEhlers]

AJ Styles really worked his ass off for that company - since 2002. In january 2010 the ex-WWE wrestlers J. Hardy, Anderson and RVD came to tna and they became World Heavyweight Champion after a relative short time. This was a blow in AJ´s face for sure. Besides the three - especially RVD and Hardy - were acting like they were TNA, the faces of this company and like they had built this great company from the bottom up. I really hope that a few things will change in TNA.
