Eric Bischoff Reveals What Aj Styles Was Made To Do Without His Will

Talking about Styles and Flair, Bischoff revealed that even though AJ Styles was always one of the best in-ring talents, he was far from being great on the ‘stick’. He added that in order to be the top guy, a Superstar needs to have the whole package and not just good athleticism.

He added that there was a belief that TNA needed to grow AJ Styles’ character as he was getting stagnant. Having him paired with one of the most charismatic men in the business - Ric Flair - would help achieve that they believed.

TNA needed to grow AJ Styles as a character. I think AJ Styles probably hit his peak in terms of what he was able to contribute in TNA in the context of what TNA was able to operate at that moment. He was already as popular as he was already going to get. Keeping the belt on him and pushing him longer, you would have gotten the same results every single week. That is not growing your audience. That is not building the character. (H/t: WrestlingNews)

AJ Styles being paired with Ric Flair

Further talking about AJ Styles and his partnership with Ric Flair, Bischoff said that at that point AJ Styles had a one-dimensional character and needed to evolve. He added that while AJ Styles could compensate for his lack of depth with his in-ring prowess, that just was not enough.

AJ Styles was a former TNA World Champion and one of the most iconic TNA Superstars. His pairing with Ric Flair certainly helped AJ Styles evolve into the complete performer that he is today.
