[@mattincredibad8624]

Will ospreay Adam cole And now kenny omega. All these guys in some way or the other owe it to AJ styles. There's something about AJ that's not highlighted. He is like an unsung hero of professional wrestling. Massive respect to the guy.

[@AfnanStudio_]

Seth rollins too

[@gator9339]

Not to mention AJ is better than all those guys

[@SAM-ru4vx]

the true unsung heros of the industry are christopher daniels and jerry lynn

[@lolegaia]

meanwhile cena still carrying his golden shovel for a new talented superstar. respect on aj he's like i don't know, phenomenal?

[@longj74]

lolegaia Golden shovel? Who is he burying? Cena doesn't bury anyone! It's called Vince and the creative team deciding on who wins and loses. Idk why all the hate for Cena when he actually puts over more guys than he "buries". He might politic in the back but so has every other wrestler from The Undertaker to HHH and everyone in between!

[@rohanmishra2907]

After hearing this all I can say is that AJ Styles is the Godfather of professional wrestling.

[@ritwiyo14]

AJ Styles is the GOAT. Saved so many career's & made them look great.

Who else's career did he save ?

[@ritwiyo14]

Roman Reigns.

Punk is not even close to sell and perform Aj level moves , he's not an all around like AJ. Actually, there are plenty better than him.

[@SubliminaIMessages]

AJ will always be my favorite. Nothing but respect for that man.

[@midizakaria8742]

There's something about AJ that makes him very special of all wrestlers. He obviously very gifted, but he also worked harder than most people. He loves pro-wrestling, but not in a sense like Kenny or most wrestlers who love pro-wrestling as a fan, he never grew up as a wrestler fan. Even now I don't think he ever considered himself as a wrestling fan. He is the athletic prodigy who accidentally came across with pro-wrestling, then decided to went all in and makes it his career. And he very passionate about it. I think he is the athletic freak who destined to be succeed whatever sport he chose, all due to his talent and attitude. But as a wrestling fan, man.. you have no idea how grateful I am that he chose wrestling.

[@tonyd3752]

He is without a doubt "The best of his generation. The total package Aj brings it every night, on the mic or in the ring. He can work with anyone like Chris Jericho.

[@NickPR87]

Yet another reason why AJ is absolute great, not only inside the ring but just as a straight up good guy.

[@neilsmith9368]

AJ saves Wrestling! Not Vince, Not HHH, Not Cena, Not Reigns.... AJ Freaking P1 Styles

[@neilsmith9368]

David Reyes ?

[@Dakshohri]

David Reyes reigns is pussy

[@namelessjuan4696]

I disagree with the Vince part, he may be an out of touch grandpa by now but he did make wrestling big.

[@rodethicong]

Cena? All we know cena brings a shovel to dig on new talent's dreams, right alex riley?

[@asurakavikami]

HHH is saving not Vince.

[@JoaquinAic]

Kenny has so much respect for Aj

[@TheShoojin]

AJ vs kenny is the true dream match

[@therealest9943]

[@prowrestlingnewsbite4434]

PLEASE DO NOT JINX THIS “AJ VS KENNY OMEGA” MATCH BY CALLING IT DREAM MATCH BECAUSE WHEN WWE KNOWS THAT PEOPLE ARE CALLING THIS MATCH A DREAM MATCH, THEY WILL NOT TAKE A SECOND TO MAKE THIS DREAM MATCH INTO A “UNDERWHELMING MATCH”-KINDA LIKE WHAT HAPPENED WITH THE JINXED MATCH( SO CALLED DREAM MATCH OF AJ VS SHINSUKE) -SEE IF EVERYONE TREATED THE AJ VS SHINSUKE MATCH AS A NORMAL MATCH FROM THE START AND THE REACTION TOWARDS IT WHEN IT WAS BEING BUILT UP FOR WRESTLEMANIA-THEN MAYBE WWE WOULD HAVE ALLOWED WAY MORE FREEDOM FOR BOTH WRESTLERS TO USE IN THAT MATCH-BUT BECAUSE- US FANS HYPED IT SO BIG TO THE POINT WE WERE GETTING IT ACROSS TO WWE THAT THIS IS OUR DREAM MATCH AND THAT THIS IS THE MATCH WHICH IS GOING TO STEAL THE SHOW AT WRESTLEMANIA 34-WWE SAW THIS AND WAS LIKE FINE WE WILL GIVE U THIS MATCH AND RUIN IT.

AJ and Kenny my two favorite wrestlers, i want to see them wrestle each other in Wrestlemania or Wrestle Kingdom 😍👌

[@ryderstrong3899]

Wrestle Kingdom would allow them a better match imho

[@chakrashadow3220]

I had not seen this until now. Huge AJ fan, but this gives me a lot of respect for Kenny, being so honest about his percieved shortcomings. Not many are willing to do that, and to bounce back the way he did, just amazing. Proms to Omega

[@brown_rice_and_ahi7039]

This is why aj is one of my favorites of all time. He has inspired so many people with consistent good matches, good promo work, and has inspired so many wrestlers. True mvp of wrestling

[@memo93015]

The world not only wrestling needs more people like AJ Styles the guy is really legit.

[@charlesmchoop3007]

Much respect for Christopher Daniels, Jerry Lynn & AJ Styles. Those are the guys. Thanks for great Pro Wrestling.

[@RyanWiggan]

AJ Styles is this generations HBK, not just because he is the best wrestler of this generation but like Shawn he has inspired so many people like omega and Will Ospreay who said in an interview that AJ is the sole reason he became a wrestler.

[@h4rdi7g3]

True but that doesn't negate what hbk did for wrestling. I bet if you asked aj he would tell you hbk was his inspiration. To be so good in the ring, that everyone wants to wrestle like you and everyone knows you're better than they are.

[@insertgenericusernamehere2402]

Ryan Wiggan except AJ isn't a megalomaniac with a god complex in guerilla

[@educhi1989]

I like HBK and all but Owen and Bret hart were the best back then.

[@nyankrunex9654]

He is not. He is simply not. He is this generation's and one and only AJ STYLES period.

[@WildcatWeather]

AJ Styles is greater than HBK in my opinion.

Bill Montana I'd say they are equal now. AJ better in ring but kenny is better in the promos.

[@brianh4669]

That was then

[@brianh4669]

@Jannie Peralta Weeb ? 😂 I was a fan of AJ styles from the beginning of his TNA days and through New Japan. He is great, one of the greatest ever. It's my opinion that he is not nor ever was as good as Omega but its a moot point really because AJ Styles is in the wwe, he doesn't actually wrestle anymore

[@brianh4669]

@@gamessportsandmore3371 AJ better in ring?!? What?!? They don't even wrestle in the wwe. 7 minutes isn't a real match. They have ruined and wasted him and as I said before I have been his fan since jump but to say that right now AJ is better in ring is an absolute travesty.

I disagree. Okada is killing it in New Japan, and his series with Omega cemented him as one of the best of this generation.

I said it once and I'll say it again aj styles is the greatest wrestler to have ever stepped between those ropes after Eddie Guerrero died my love for wrestling slowly started to die but one fateful day I happen to come across a commercial for a tna related ppv and I decided I'll go check out the preview for it I and it shows the stuff leading up to the matches of the ppv and I saw aj wrestle and when I saw him wrestle I knew that wrestling was still very much alive thanks to aj my faith in wrestling was restored

Trey Vincent either way, it was years ago, before AJ Styles became "phenomenal" and before Kenny became "the cleaner". I'm sure whatever match they had then wouldn't come close to the dream match they'd be able put on now

[@waltersobchack8886]

I think Aj has great mental stability that allows him to over come these pitfalls in professional wrestling and through that he’s been able to be a healthy mindset to these other wrestlers and almost a ballast to help them be able to regroup and recover and become reinvigorate in the business. Aj is one of the best wrestlers of all time but I think him as a person is much more and we will probably learn about it all when he decides to retire and hopefully tells it all!
