Super Crazy
CABS ARE HEEEERREEE!!
PWTorch.com is reporting that AJ Styles apparently lashed out at TNA's creative team recently over what he claims has been horrible booking of him as TNA Champion thus far into his run with the title. The belief is that Styles feels that he is being booked to look like a weak champion as he won the title when Sting allowed him to pin Kurt Angle
, and then he was not booked to go over Angle on Impact last week.
I can see why he would be upset. To help push the younger stars why would you make them look weak? They are supposed to look strong and like they can really fend for their own with the older guys.
I personally think storyline-wise it was dumb to have Sting let AJ win the title. It would have been better if he had of really fought for it. Not to say that he didn't, but for Sting to choose to jump out, while it may be a sign of respect to do so, I can understand why AJ would be upset. No one wants to just be handed the title. They want to earn it.
As far as the Kurt Angle match I'd have to say it is again another dumb move booking wise to have Kurt go over AJ. At the time it was more important to have AJ look good rather then Kurt. With pushing the younger stars and all, why not have AJ go over Kurt? Why not let the face of TNA go over the biggest acquisition from the WWE that TNA has ever seen? would that have been so wrong? In the end they both looked strong and the match ended in a draw. That was a smart move as it made both look good as neither man lost really.
Hopefully AJ is booked strongly from here on in. It would be good to have him win some big matches against the likes of Kurt Angle or another big name in TNA...although there aren't any really.
What is your opinion on the matter?
Do you feel like AJ has a right to be upset with them?
