Turning Point 2005: AJ Styles vs. Samoa Joe

[@TheDefenseIsUpNext]

Samoa Joe in his prime ranks in my top 10 favourites. The style he worked was so believable. Just awesome.

[@krestainwatsonjr.]

Joe could be a great fit for the UFC

This is honestly my personal favorite TNA match of all time. An actual banger and felt longer than 24 minutes

[@jaimonjohn2516]

Back when wrestling is more than just doing multiple super kicks & Canadian destroyers

[@theshakter]

Or who can kick out of the most finishers

[@jacknero9937]

Back when kicking out at one out of a powerbomb was something special and not the standard

[@215jmo]

Mike Tenay and Don West is such an underrated commentary duo. Always had great chemistry

[@Noobie2k7]

Nah. Not underrated, I think among anyone who knows wrestling would say they're the best commentary duo of all time. To me it goes Mike Tenay and Don West, then Jim Ross and Jerry Lawler then Steve Corino and Kevin Kelly.

That shooting star press dive off top rope to the floor is a thing of beauty

[@user-ot6wj3jw4g]

I love how the crowd jus appreciated every top tier guy they had. They booed when Joe kicks out of the clash. They cheer for Joe when he's about to muscle bust on the AJ on the chair. Then chant for Daniel's when he makes the save. I fucken loved this match, feeling everything all over again. Thank you Samoa Joe/ AJ styles! Made my night, again!!!!!!

[@malykburnett5456]

In the 2005 rankings. Aj Styles should be #1. John Cena should have been #2. Batista should have been #3. In my opinion.

[@vandammeization]

What a brutal kick Samoa Joe did to AJ Styles, this is why he does multiple strikes & he does every different Submission maneuver, that’s why Joe is the Samoan Submission Machine.

[@SlimbyTheSillyGoose]

Damn, what a stiff match..

[@clementwang7097]

In real life, Samoa Joe and AJ styles have a lot of respect for one another.

TNA was so special. Back in 2004 I started watching and I was impressed with the unmatched athleticism shown by of course AJ Styles, Samoa Joe, Christopher Daniels, and Chris Sabin. They brought something new and exciting to pro wrestling that will never return, in my mind. From 2004-late 2009 was such a great time to watch TNA. And this match proves my point.

[@slappytheclown4]
