Styles not happy about dropping the title

[That Rob]

What you guys don't get is that they had to take the title off AJ. As much as I like him he really wasn't pulling in the ratings like they had hoped and so a change was needed. Who do you go to, a young guy like Pope who the casual fan doesn't know or somebody who's been around a while and most people know?

Also Smartmark you seem to forget that the Attitude Era was dominated by the title changing hands on free TV, it's not like this is something new to the wrestling industry.

[Smartmark]

^^ Have I ever said I loved the attitude era? And Have I ever said that changing titles on TV shows is a new thing? I don't think so!

I just find it sad that they strip AJ for the title because of the ratings.

Wrestling should not be all about money. It should be about entertaining wrestlingfans!

i dont see what the problem is he had a long run as champion i mean what did he want to be champion forever. rvd is a big name in wrestling and i dont see the problem giving him the title.

[Smartmark]

^^ It's not a problem that RVD got the title. It was the way it was done. They should rather have build it up for a PPV and have AJ lose the title then.

it made aj look weak
having rvd wrestle a long match
against jeff hardy yet still be able to beat
aj... there was no promotional buildup they
paniacked to try and take advantage of there being
no raw wrestlers on raw that night and didnt look at the big picture

When you have a TV deal and big stars with big contracts, the ratings become your biggest priority. Lets face it AJ wasn't getting the job done so they needed to make a change.

And your last statement is ignorant, I'm not even going to touch it.

[Smartmark]

^^ So it is ignorant? The business is called Pro Wrestling, not; Let's make much money by doing stupid things.

I guess you only watch mainstream Hollywood Blockbusters as well? Just because they are made to make money?

I find it funny that you always quote me, when there as many people who agrees with my opinions.

Rushing feuds have never been a good thing.

Aj have all rights to be mad and upsat , I dont blame him for getting upsat he was agood champion . But honestly they need to drop the flair chactor . In other news : people chant RVD way too soon TNA brought him in and now he getting a push , PPL need to stop dissing both companys as well WWE ,ECW RVD was in , Also WWE go to TNA for god only know why but no one can never top WWE either way you look at it as well , since 1952 . Aj Styles will forever be one of the best in TNA and deeply they push him wrong way maybe he should go to WWE

This thread is brilliant as its classick indy smarks thinking TNA is trying to get them to like it, its not they want casuals and to a casual AJ styles as champ makes TNA look indy especially as they will have never seen him win it now its on RVD it makes the World Title look bigger and then when AJ wins it again from RVD or any of the bigger names he will look stronger.

One other thing as someone who wrestles on the indy scene in the UK for a few years now reading people calling AJ losing to RVD jobbing shows you no nothing about actual wrestling.

aj doesnt make it look indy r u kidding
aj been on national tv since 2002 so i cant see how ppl
think he's a nobody he's been champ few time before
