The new AJ Styles is fun to watch, but to be truthful, I really miss the old AJ Styles. The Ric Flair rub has its moments, but when I see Flair cutting promos over him, or AJ coming out with a robe to Flair’s music I always let out a little “sigh”. A part of me was upset that night AJ Styles turned heel. Not from a mark standpoint, but from an entertainment standpoint as I really wanted a young and fresh face to root for that was TNA through and through.
With AJ Styles as a heel, TNA has no homegrown top face to represent what TNA is bringing to the table. The old fighting spirit, small town kid who was living his dream worked great, and he fit the mold so well. The fast life, big spender is cool too, but it’s just not what TNA needs from AJ Styles.
AJ Styles should be a face again, and be on his own. Flair’s blessing is great, but it doesn’t have consistency on screen as AJ needs more room to work, and he can get more room as a face. What can be done?
At Lockdown, Flair can turn on AJ Styles, and take The Pope under his wing, in turn giving the Pope the belt for a month or maybe even two. The Pope’s gimmick can mesh a lot easier with Flair’s. The Pope’s gimmick is also easier to transition into a heel. Also, I have a feeling that the Pope as a face can get stale very quickly, which a heel turn can easily prevent. With the Pope so over right now as a face, a heel turn would work wonders, and easily have the fans fall back in love with AJ.
Not Jeff Hardy, not RVD, not Sting, not Hogan, definitely not Abyss, not anyone. Only AJ Styles can be the top face at this point in time. He represents TNA, and he is the people’s champ in my eyes. TNA is new to many people, and they need a poster boy. Hogan is too old to be a poster boy. Make AJ a face again, and have him lead TNA to the top of the mountain.
Do you agree or disagree and why? Would you turn AJ face again, or iss TNA better off with AJ as a heel?
