Zachary Fenell"The Phenomenal" AJ Styles
March 18th 2011 14:27
AJ Styles, laid out on a stretcher, gets loaded into an ambulance after 10 minutes of prep by medics. Fellow Fortune stable mates James Storm, Robert Roode, and Frankie Kazarian discuss what to do about their fallen comrade. The controversial pin which just happened with both RVD and Mr. Anderson having their shoulders down doesn’t seem important despite the fact the match was to determine a new #1 contender for Sting’s TNA Heavyweight Title. Mike Tenay and Taz show deep concern at the broadcast table, struggling to find words to describe the situation. All these events occur because Bully Ray power bombed AJ Styles off the stage into two tables.
This is how professional wrestling should be booked. Professional wrestling is scripted but what says that means wrestling can’t give off the allusion of reality? I sat on the edge of my couch the final 15 minutes of Impact thinking to myself “This can’t be real, right?” If I didn’t know better, I’d think AJ Styles was legitimately hurt. I admire TNA Wrestling for developing such a compelling scene.
TNA Wrestling has created a wonderful opportunity for the company upon AJ Styles’ return. Fans will empathize with Styles and want to cheer him even more than they already do. I know I’m thankful the Main Event Mafia comeback fell through because the failure acted as the catalyst for AJ Styles and Fortune’s face turns. Fans love AJ Styles because TNA Wrestling is the house Styles built. Watch the matches I mention in the article Alternative to the WWE- AJ Styles & TNA Wrestling for the proof. Booked correctly, upon his return AJ Styles can once again become the flagship face of TNA. Styles served this role in the mid 2000s, the timeframe arguably when TNA Wrestling’s product peaked in quality.
