    Huh?

    Vader bet the Jaws of a TV presenter in Kuwait in the 90s on a talk show, for questioning if wrestling was fake. Got banged up for a short while too, not for the assault, but for cursing on live TV during the smackdown.

    A.J. was still winning as of a few hours ago.

    Yeah, would make sense to me. Like, her being the champion is probably a big part of the total divas storyline thing. I'd be kicking myself so much if she lost it and I hadn't made that bet though.

    AJ Styles posted the following on his official website and Facebook page this morning:
    MY STATEMENT ON TNA CONTRACT NEGOTIATIONS 12/16/13

    Today for the first time in 11 years, AJ Styles awakes to find himself without a professional wrestling contract. I can't help but think how did I get here, what must I have done wrong, did I not deliver in the ring, etc. All of those are pertinent questions that any man or woman who finds himself or herself unemployed would ask.

    I have always prided myself in being the wrestler that stays away from the things in this business that could easily destroy myself, my family, my marriage, and even my career. A wrestler who goes above and beyond to give the fans what they paid to see.

    I move forward not bitter, but better for the blessings and memories that I have been a part of since TNA's inception.

    When this contract renegotiation journey started several months ago, my wife and I began praying for God to close doors that needed to be closed and to open the doors that He wanted us to walk through. We asked him to prepare us for this journey and to help us to have the faith to be obedient to what He would have us to do. I am assured by the name Immanuel in Matthews 1:23 that I will never be alone. Hebrews 13.5, says He will never leave us or forsake us. There is a lot in this world that I am unsure of, especially in this moment, but there is one thing that I am certain. Contracts may expire, but the promise of Immanuel will never expire.

    As my family and I move forward with my wrestling career, we will turn to Jabez's prayer found in 1 Chronicles 4:10.

    Oh, that You would bless me indeed,
    and enlarge my territory,
    that Your hand would be with me,
    and that You would keep me from evil.

    My family and I are both grateful for the platform that TNA has allowed me to experience. TNA has been a blessing to our family for many years. We have made many friendships and many more memories. While you may not be seeing AJ Styles in TNA, you can be sure that he will be traveling the world and delivering many more Phenomenal matches. Visit AJStyles.org for a complete list of bookings.

    Sincerely,

    AJ Styles

    Hopefully he isn't working the marks and God.

    Apparently he was offered half the 350k he was on due TNA telling him they can't afford him and that WWE's low ball counter offer became known to TNA.

    Thats hilarious,speaks in the the third person yet also tries to sound humble and thump his bible.

    If he goes to WWE he should use 'Livin'on a Prayer' as his theme song.

    November 6th Observer:
    As for Styles, I'm not certain of anything new regarding his contract, but one would think he's signed a new deal because giving him this storyline and paying him while he's only working outside the promotion for a few months (the idea is for him not to return to TV so fast which is the difference between this angle and the Punk angle, that and Styles is working for other groups) makes no sense if he's not under contract after December. There was a WWE offer made to him, but it was one that he couldn't have possibly taken, given it was about one-fifth what he's currently making. Sure, in WWE, there's the opportunity to make tons more than your downside, and he would if he was on the main roster and working regularly and getting a mid-level push (although a mid-level guy in WWE would be making slightly more money than Styles currently earns for tons more dates). The issue is in WWE, it's not impossible, but very difficult, especially if you're not awesome on the mic, to get past the level they see you at, and given the offer they made to him, that's not exactly a promising sign as to what that level they saw him at.

    A fifth of his 350k puts WWE's offer at the level of the standard developmental contract. So you would assume WWE wanted him to go through NXT and for a while.

    If Bryan, Punk, Ambrose, Rollins and Neville can go to Development, then so can AJ. He should play ball with WWE in my opinion, I find it hard that it wouldnt be an ambtion for a wrestler to go to WWE and potentially appear at a Wrestlemania.

    Wouldn't say the WWE schedule holds much appeal for him after having it handy in TNA for so many years.

    I don't think it was a sincere offer to be honest. It was an offer he would say no to. Also all those started in developmental at 36 (likely 37 by the time he relocates) and with 3 young children.

    Most of those were about 10 years younger when they signed. And none of them had been on weekly television for the last 10 years either.

    Bryan ~28
    Punk ~27
    Ambrose ~26
    Rollins ~24
    Neville ~26
    Styles ~36

    See the difference?

    His style would surely suit a run in Japan if he was interested.

    Problem with that is NJPW is the only company in a good state. They have a stacked roster as is so probably couldnt fit him in right now. Would he be interested in going freelance after spending the last 10 or so years in a permanent position?

    Tell that to Prince Devitt who seems content wrestling for New Japan.
