In my opinion, if anything, AJ styles is the thing that brings people away from TNA and more toward feds like ring of honor. He's not about in ring psycology, he's about highspots and things like that. He's not a technical wrestler at all and it takes greats like christopher daniels and samoa joe to be able to carry him. The fact is that AJ Styles is overated.

Do you honestly believe the average fan could give a crap about ring psychology? Hell no! When it comes to the mainstream wrestling fan, they aren't paying attention to all this internet smark BS about psychology and selling that people love to throw out, mostly when Styles-bashing. The mainstream wrestling fan is into either violence, cool looking moves or occasionally a compelling story. Stone Cold Steve Austin and Hulk Hogan are inarguably the two biggest draws the industry has ever seen. Its well documented that Hogan couldn't wrestle his way out of a paper bag and Austin, at his peak, was not exactly a technician in the ring.
AJ Styles provides amazing athleticism and enough ridiculously cool looking offense that he draws people's attention. Beyond that, he's also had several of his peers praise his work, among others Bret Hart, from whom I can think of no higher endorsement, psychology or not.
There are people who are probably driven away be exactly what you say, but those people, who probably number on into the couples, are outweighed fairly heavily by the people who see him pull off some cool flippy move and decide to check out TNA. In the company with Jeff Jarrett as its Heavyweight Champion, AJ Styles and his lack fo ring psychology are hardly the biggest thing holding the company back and the bottom line is that 95% of wrestling fans don't give a **** about freakin ring psychology.
          He's like ohn Cena to me. When i first saw AJ Styles i was like " Wow! He's PHENOMINAL! " and then i saw Ring Of Honor and it turned into " WOW..He's..uh...cool. " But then he got pushed to hell and i just wanted to see Samoa Joe beat the hell out of him just for my amusement. It's the smae with John Cena for me . Acept everyone hates John Cena now and i feel like such a blacksheep to hate AJ Styles.Â
          Who knows, i could be wrong. I mean the allmighty Bret Hart praises AJ Styles and whatever his opinion is i'll keep inside my heart becuase I think he's a great wretler and he knows alot about the business.
           I have to admit all the stuff about being a " mat technician " and having " good in ring technology " was complete BS to cover up the fact that right now, for what he did, i do not like him and i think he's overused. Sure it's perty, most likely it's wrong but hey..i'm just that horrible kind of guy. The fact that he can work at Christian Crap and not ROH because of his " injuries" makes me question his morals all together. The fact is all the respect that i've had for AJ Styles is lost. He used to be a hero to me, i wanted to be like him. I thought his moves were sick and i wanted to see more but now that i've seen alot iv'e felt i've seen too much.
