Anyone want to recommend any matches from his career? Also, what matches from the TNA weekly ppvs would you suggest? I don't see any reviews for the weekly shows so I'm not really sure what's good and what's not.

 

[Shepard]

From the weekly ppvs off the top of my head the 4 way for the first x division title is a really good match.

AJ & Daniels vs LAX ultimate x match is awesome. Same for the final resolution ultimate x between aj petey Williams and Chris sabin. Samoa Joe vs AJ from turning point 05 is like my second favourite tna match too, probably like it more than the unbreakable three way (which is still awesome). Also had my current TNA moty w/ Bobby Roode on the 5/24 impact.

 

[Irish Dude]

with Kurt Angle are great. Tag Team or one on one, always great

 

[JaredStyles96]

I don't want to sound like a dick and say all of them but yeah, pretty much all of them... I strongly recommend you find a 'Best of AJ Styles: The Phenomenal One' on DVD on eBay or somewhere. Totally worth it. (Y)

Notable matches in my opinion are;

Styles vs Daniels vs Joe (Unbreakable 2005)
AJ Styles vs Abyss (Lockdown 2005)
Styles & Daniels v LAX in Ultimate X.
Styles vs Joe (Turning Point 05, I think)

And there's so many more I could name; the list would go on for too long.

 

[zkorejo]

AJ v Joe v Daniels. AJ vs Kurt matches are almost always top notch. AJ vs Bully Ray last man standing is a good hardcore type rules match.

AJ/Kurt vs CD Kaz that happened recently (although you might have already seen it) and one of my personal favourite is Daniels vs AJ ironman match (dont rem the year or PPV)

Looking forward to AJ vs AA after BFG. That is going to be legen---wait for it--dary!! Legendary!

 

[dastardly]

Thanks for these recommendations - just watched them on Youtube.

Fantastic stuff!

Funny enough, I was thinking about putting a list together of AJ Styles' best TNA matches. The ones that have been mentioned in this thread are great. I also recommend his match with Samoa Joe at Sacrifice 05 and Angle at Hard Justice 08.

 

[Taroostyles]

Too many to list

Anything from 2005 or anything against

Joe and/or Daniels
abyss
Angle
Sabin
Doug Williams
Christian
Roode
Tagging with Daniels against AMW and LAX
Tagging with angle against Daniels and Kaz
Multimans with Lynn and Low Ki

Hell he even had a 4 star match with Xpac.

 

[phreddie spaghetti]

Styles/Joe/Daniels - Turning Point 2009

Styles/London - Night of Grudges (ROH)

 

[Lariatoh!]

I see it's already ben mentioned, but Styles vs. Abyss 2005 Lockdown match although isn't a better match than the Unbreakable match for example, but it was just really awesome. This match for me came off as Superman vs. Doomsday. Styles this high flyer taking on this evil monster inside a cage. Styles is jumping out of the crowd into ringside to attack Abyss! Flying through the cage door to open the match! Just amazing stuff!

 

[CREDMI]

I've never seen a bad AJ match, the guy is an absolute star who puts his body on the line every match he has. The better matches of his are where his opponent/s do the same EG. Angle, Daniels, Kaz, Joe....etc. Even when he wrestles against less talented performers, he makes the matches memorable. IMO he is easily the best wrestler in the world, just get access to as many of his matches as possible, make yourself comfortable & enjoy the show.

 

[SZilla]

I recommend his match against Douglas Williams for the Television title at Final Resolution 2010.

Also these two tv matches from 05/06 are golden and feature a lot of TNA's greatest talents

Styles, Daniels, & Sabin vs. Alex Shelley, Austin Aries, & Roderick Strong (Jan. 06)

Styles, Aries, & Sonjay Dutt vs. Samoa Joe, Daniels, & Alex Shelley (Nov. 05)

 

[StylinProfilin]

I liked the iron man match with Petey Williams.

Seriously, every time I'm watching TNA, I can't believe the awesome run AJ was having as TNA Champion and how RVD just shot it down on Impact.... AJ should still be the champ. It could have gone on so much longer. He started the run as a face, then Flair came along. It was awesome till the title change.

 

[djmathers1207]

he had an iron man match with Petey? When was that if they did?

 

[Kincaid]

AJ and Angle had a SPECTACULAR Last Man Standing match at Hard Justice 2008. It's amazing, because I BELIEVE it's a Last Man Standing fought entirely without weapons.

 

[HOJO]

AJ and Angle had a SPECTACULAR Last Man Standing match at Hard Justice 2008. It's amazing, because I BELIEVE it's a Last Man Standing fought entirely without weapons.

I'm sure it was, too. And that's a great accomplishment to say that you didn't need weapons to put on a great last man standing match,

 

[dastardly]

Please keep these coming! I'm having a great time checking out some of these old matches on YouTube - Aries, Daniels, AJ and the MCMGs in the same ring? Wow.

 

[Das Wunderberlyn]

almost all of his matches are good.

vs Joe at turning point 05 was fucking awesome and imo, the best match tna history.

 

[phoenixpanesar]

Ironman I and II vs Daniels at Against All Odds 05 and BFG 05.
