Wednesday, June 11th, 2003.
The most important
date in AJ Styles' wrestling career. The scene was set, and the match was booked. It was for the NWA Worlds Heavyweight Championship.
The most prestigious title in the world of wrestling. Jeff Jarrett was scheduled to defend against #1 contender AJ Styles
and Raven.After some phenomenal action, a Shane Douglas involvment to eliminate Raven, and a Vince Russo guitar shot, AJ nailed
the Styles Clash to become the NWA World Champion - the 4th under the TNA era - and the second youngest in the NWA's history.
At 26 years of age
at the time of writing, Allen Jones (Betterly known as AJ Styles) has reached the top of the wrestling mountain. At the time
of writing he is THE NWA Worlds heavyweight champion. Up there with the greats, huh? Up there with the Harley Races, the Dusty
Rhodes and the Ric Flairs of this world. He's reached that milestone that every wrestler surely dreams of one day reaching.
"I'm already great,
Ricky. I'm gonna be the greatest."
Remember that line
from the brilliantly put together promo video by Jeremy Borash prior to the inaugral meeting between AJ and Jarrett for the
NWA Worlds title? Just think of that for the minute. Think of how far AJ has come in the past year. Think of how much he's
put his name out there and improved. Now think of the next year. Think of the potential and the possibilities. Now, I ask
you. No - I CHALLENGE you - to doubt that one day, that statement could come true.
You can?
Damn. Then I've got
but one ever-so-familiar phrase to say to you ...
"Zip it!".
Sit down, sit back,
relax and be prepared for some awesome times. It's going to be truly phenomenal! |
