He's a typical indie monster, as tall as such WWE giants as Ziggler, Rollins or Sami Zayn.

AJ can say what he will about guys getting injured because they're inexperienced and nothing's ever his fault, but the Styles Clash is not a good move and he really should retire it.

Yeah, it's obviously AJs fault that some Japanese gently caress-knuckle can't do literally nothing for long enough to have his finisher done on them.

He should do a really stiff pointless chest-chop or shoddily executed brain-buster so the guy will understand what's going on.

nah, the styles clash goes in the other direction so that the person taking it lands on their front, i don't really know why that one hosed up so bad

bryan alvarez talked about this recently and said that the reason people might get injured by it when it should be the easiest move to take in the world is that as a worker when you get turned upside-down in a piledriver position it becomes instinctual to tuck your head, but with the styles clash you really have to focus on not doing that

probably also doesn't help on that front that AJ is doing a a ganso bomb sometimes now where you have to tuck your head or you loving Die

It's one of the few moves that looks weak and low-impact when done properly, but looks like murder when botched.

[gifs of AJ Styles trying to kill people]
Jesus, the Styles Clash is an awful looking move. and AJ Styles really isn't helping the people he's giving it to be not jumping enough forward, in those botches he barely jumps at all. I hadn't seen most of those botches before and I'm shocked nobody has died yet.

anyway, gif content for the gif thread, and so it doesn't seem like I'm critising something, they're all on a similar topics of the AJ Styles gifs above:

1: How to correctly drop somebody on their head:



2: How to correctly kill somebody in a wrestling match:



3: Quality Japanese Wrestling:

it looks like AJ loses his balance putting his right leg over Kojima's arm. he's been really sloppy with it for a while and the spiral tap looks better as a finisher anyway imo

Yeah. I missed the ECW era, and after watching a couple of events on the Network and seeing the weird cult feel where no one chanted for individuals but rather the company, as well as the rampant, hateful homophobia in the crowd (and the promos), I quickly stopped caring who bloodied who with what back in that particular day. Although I am glad there was a Sign Guy Dudley.
