"AJ Styles Is Every Bit As Good As Shawn Michaels" - Kurt Angle

[Scottie Drippin]

Not about how many times you use the top rope, but telling a story

Interesting. The singular reason Tanahashi called AJ better than himself, and currently the best in the world, is because he's able to tell a story in all of his matches, despite working a disjointed schedule all over the world and not even having storylines because of it.

Thoughts?

Do it in the major leagues where it counts if you want it to mean something in this business

 

[Prince Akeem]

Embarrassing to compare the two

Junkie Angle forgets he's on the record saying he had his GOAT match against HBGOAT


AJ is a spot monkey by comparison

AJ hasn't been anything close to a spot monkey for several years.

Dude is legit one of the best on the planet right now.

Ah so you have nothing left to offer then.

 

[The Rainmaker]

That reference though.

That reminds me the time Matt Striker referenced them in a PPV match and Cole and Lawler CHASTISED him for the rest of the night because they apparently didn't know who the Jumping Bomb Angels were (They already hated him, but that made it worse)

Why does being in the 'major leagues' mean anything to you as a fan? His skills don't 'count' because he's never been in WWE?

His career does mean something in this business and he's not a spot monkey. He's Assassin Japan Styles.

I could say the same thing about Shawn Michaels and The Rock

Not really..Shawn Michaels is very overrated while the Rock was basically the backbone of the Attitude Era.

Lol r=g sneaking in Magneto references on accident now

Nah...just auto correct

You mean Austin?

You mean Austin?

Nah...Rock wrestled more, didn't have a year off, and produced the best feuds of the generation. Who would Cripple H bewithout Rock? Kurt Angle? Foley would of fell off he didn't play the Rock's sidekick in 99..Rock had fans paying for a damn Al Snow cage match...louder than any match AJ Styles or Shawn Michaels have ever been in.

Rock was very important to the era but I felt Austin was more so the face/backbone of the era.

Hell him feuding with Bret brought in the Attitude Era, his entire attitude in that feud when it came to being so defiant against Vince starting their long feud, beating HBK at Mania 15. Going into the Foley/Dude Love feud, the Taker feud, the Rock feud, etc literally the entire 99 Rumble match was about Austin vs. Vince.

Not to mention his 1996 King of the Ring speech. "Austin 3:16 says I just whooped your ass." Which literally was pushing out the old era(since he was speaking to Jake Roberts who he just beat, basically told dude to hang up his boots) and ushering in the new era.

Sounds real

.
at people who still take that clown seriously.

As as that is, doesn't change the fact that

HBK was having revolutionary matches before The Rock was even getting trained.

You're gonna need a better position on this one.

New Japan isn't a major?

TNA with weekly TV & monthly PPVs weren't a major?
