Ed’s Perspective: The Upcoming AJ Styles Interview

Once again, I’m writing about something that I’m really excited about. I’ve done many interviews in my online career (both inside and outside of the wrestling industry) but none any bigger than this coming Wednesday when I talk with “The Phenomenal One” AJ Styles. 

I’ve interviewed movie stars, musicians, contestants of reality shows, politicians, war heroes, and professional wrestlers, so why am I excited at the AJ Styles interview?

Well the answer is two fold.

First,  AJ Styles is a huge star in the wrestling business. Notice I said IS and not WAS. It’s very tough to get close to those who are still active in the business, especially those with major promotions. The Phenomenal One was just in a TNA Impact main event.

Now I know people might say, yeah but he is gone from TNA now, and my reply would be “so what”. He was just rubbing shoulders with Sting – in the month of January! If you know anything about the wrestling business, you know that AJ Styles would be a superstar in any major promotion in the world!

Secondly, AJ Styles is not afraid to share his Christian faith with others, and we will certainly not shy away from that.

Sure we will cover many topics, TNA, contract issues, Dixie Carter, WWE, and Ring of Honor among others, but I would like to hear, how being on the road as much as he has been, how can he keep true to his Christian faith, doing the right thing, and family values that are so important to him.

Join us live, Wednesday January 22 @ 1pm Eastern on DTRT Wrestling New radio on  Blog Talk Radio.  If you know an AJ Styles fan, do them a favor and share this with them – you (and they) will not be disappointed.

AJ Styles has confirmed that he has officially parted ways with TNA. Styles in a statement on his Facebook page said – “When this contract renegotiation journey started several months ago, my wife & I began praying for God to close doors that needed to be closed & to open doors that He wanted us to walk through. We asked Him to prepare us for this journey & 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 Matthew 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.” AJ said he & his family are grateful for the platform TNA has allowed him to experience.
