AJ Styles believes one of his best performances could have been ‘really good’ instead of being just good.
The Unbreakable 2005 Triple Threat between Styles, Samoa Joe and Christopher Daniels is considered one of the best three-way matches ever put together in wrestling. It’s one of the first bouts of its kind that received a 5-star rating from Dave Meltzer and the recently retired Christopher Daniels has named it a moment he’d like to be remembered for.
The Phenomenal One opened up about this match during a recent interview with Chris Van Vliet. He noted how all three of them knew each other very well as they had been in the ring with each other many times. According to AJ Styles, however, the bout that lasted about 23 minutes did not reach its full potential because they messed up a spot:
“It could have been better. We went home way earlier than we were supposed to. We got mixed up in a spot. Joe did something. I was like, Wait, are we supposed to be going here? Nope, bam. We did it anyway. So we ad-libbed a good 10 minutes of that match. All that at the end is totally ad-libbed. Thank God, we knew each other so well, because we could just communicate and get to where we needed to be. So it could have been really good. It was just good.”
Apart from this, AJ Styles also talked about other moments from his TNA career and discussed the company bringing in Hulk Hogan to grow the promotion. The move ultimately proved to be a costly mistake leading to Styles’ own exit from TNA in 2014. You can check out AJ’s thoughts on the matter here.
