I must be missing something here. Are people who share different opinions to your own wrong? I don't get this at all. When it's a moronic statement then Yes! Christ. Now I know why I don't bother with this board. "I disagree, so you're a moron!" I love irony.

I disagree with the OP completely, but it's not a moronic statement. AJ is my favorite wrestler ever and my personal pick for the GOAT, but it's clear he wasn't great in 2017.

The fact that the attitude here is "I disagree so you're wrong" is absolutely awful.

The problem here is OP didnt say "I dont like AJ Styles"....thats an opinion. Who you like/dislike is an opinion. What was said was "AJ Styles is a problem" which is a false statement and is why we have the marshmellows out for the roast.

Christ,
I would never thought we’ve seen the day where someone complains about AJ Styles, of all people. One of the only things I like about WWE today ....
You can never please anyone can ya?

I don't see a problem with AJ Styles other than he needs to get away from Zayn/KO cuz they all need something new.

Buff Bagwell and Alex Wright not having Elites in 1997 attires is a problem.

AJ Styles has been on cruise control since the Shane match. His promos are largely the same, spoken in monotone, or he tries to ramble on to get to a punchline that never hits with the zing he intends it to be.
AJ's matches have not been anything special. The feud with Owens was largely not very good, full of lethargic promos and matches that took ages to get going.
You could blame SmackDown creative, I guess? Just remember that when Raw creative was actively hurting the show in the fall of 2016, Kevin Owens was still a beacon of light. He still persevered despite bad creative. He had really creative promos and put on consistently good matches on TV and PPV despite bad booking. AJ has not been a beacon of light on a bad SmackDown, and in almost every week's case, he's felt just as lifeless as the rest of the show.
Remember when AJ beating Jinder was supposed to be the cure for SmackDown's bad show? It wasn't. The show has been just as, if not more, lethargic as it's ever been. And yes, some of it is attributed to the show being basically a rerun every week. But if you look at the individual people appearing on the show, you have Liv and Naomi doing Lucha spots every week trying to stand out. You have The Usos cutting strong promos, trying to stand out. And you have AJ, doing legitimately the same thing he's been doing for almost a year.
It's great that you like him, I do too. But I just think that he hasn't been nearly as good as he was in 2016 or the first quarter of 2017. I'd take a great Jinder match over an average AJ Styles match no matter what.

there is only one wrestler in the wwe who is a waist and that is Roman Reigns. he has been given everything chosen by Vince himself the idiot has only a limited move set and sucks on the mic. the only way this moron can be cheered is when he is with rollins and ambrose.....
AJ Styles is one of if not the most talented athletes in the WWE today. so who ever said AJ is a waist is a idiot.

AJ hasn't had any bad matches, just none that particularly stood out. You can't expect him to put on 5 star classics with Jinder Mahal & Shane McMahon and then from the chemistry they had, you couldn't really expect it from any of the KO vs AJ matches.

AJ Styles is one of if not the most talented athletes in the WWE today. so who ever said AJ is a waist is a idiot. Where to start.... 1. *waste 2. His move set is fine, I have no idea why everyone complains about it, the guy is huge and you can't expect him to pump out a shooting star press every match. Also, Braun Strowman and Dean Ambrose have about the same number of moves and no one complains, just jumping on the bandwagon I see? 3. The way in which Vince McMahon or the WWE creative team have tried to get him over hasn't worked, and that isn't Roman's fault. I don't think he's brillaint and i'm not a fanboy by any means but please, don't jump on bandwagons and talk rubbish.

He’s just given nothing to work with. The feud with KO and Zayn has dragged for too long. He’s essentially been feuding with Owens since the summer. Smackdown is starved for talent. Once the feud with Nakamura gets going, he’ll be fine.
It’s more of a Smackdown problem than an AJ Styles problem. It also doesn’t help that the writing is terrible. That boile line was cringeworthy. Road Dogg Jesse James, ladies and gentleman.

Road Dogg Jesse James, ladies and gentleman. Braun had no business being good when Raw's creative was bad. The Straight Edge Society had no reason to be good when 2009's creative was bad. The fact of the matter is AJ Styles has had every opportunity to stand out in his performances on a relatively dull brand and has underwhelmed considerably. The Vaudevillains and Blake and Murphy had a feud that had no right to be as good as it was. That was bad creative, but it paid off. If The Vaudes can make a feud like theirs with BAM interesting and engaging, there's no excuse for AJ and Owens/Zayn.

I have to disagree. AJ Has been carrying the program very well if its anyone who's been complacent its been Owens although no fault of his own.
