I remember thinking WWE would botch his run, but AJ has done pretty well for himself in the E.

They tried to, but I think Styles proved himself with the Roman feud, and then the Cena feud was probably when Vince officially gave him the stamp of approval.

Im sorry he is not a household name outside of wrestling fans.
I'm not. Him not being a star To fans outside wrestling hasn't seemed to hinder the status he's achieved with the fans within wrestling.

More than that him not being a crossover star(subjective)hasnt hindered his status within the wrestling business

Who is :russ:

Even Cena who was a household name was like BARELY one, D-List celeb at best, that's not an acceptable thing to rate pro wrestlers on anymore. Wrestling is niche, no one gives a shyt about it, the product could feature Austin level talent and people would NOT tune back in to watch, its over for that shyt, it will never be mainstream popular ever again. That's really a dead and unfair unit of measurement for current wrestlers
