AJ has been carrying the company on his back. Since the draft it sucks it's about to come crashing down in two weeks. and if rumors are true will be wrestling Shane at mania.

This is literally the most curious case in wrestling for the last decade. Here you have a guy who is over not just with the IWC but with casual fans. You have a guy whose debut shirt sold out of arenas the first day for sale (I know. I bought the display shirt as it was the last one left, and luckily in my size.) You have a guy whose merchandise is instantly back ordered (his blue gloves were sold out in 1 day as the day after they went on sale, they were gone (I tried to buy them the very next day)) (his sideplates sold out within hours of going on sale; and on secondary market, they're as high as $1,000 USD (not that anyone is willing to pay 10x FMV)). You have a guy who looks pretty good. You have a guy who can outwrestle and put on great matches with anyone. You have a guy who can cut promos. You have a guy who gets reactions. You have a company man there. That should hit every one of Vince's lists--except for size. Maybe he doesn't watch Smackdown and is unwaware that AJ is actually running the show without a partner and without being a chicken heel? I remember being at Raw the day after his RR debut. Fans were literally screaming "Please Don't Tap" when Jericho had him in the Walls of Jericho. I have not seen that type of reaction in a very long time, and he has sustained that momentum despite being booked to lose to Jericho, Reigns, and Ellsworth, and a silly Y2AJ angle.

For the record, I have no problem with AJ dropping the title to Cena, Taker, or anyone (save for Ellsworth).My only issue is that you have this guy who dominated 2016 and you can't get him a better opponent at Mania?

Congrats.
I wouldn't be surprised if he gets it again next year.

IWC crowd isn't a thing anymore, stop it.

In another news Roman was named 2016's most hated wrestler but that thread would end badly so I didn't bother to make it.

More validation that Styles is well and truly a cut above.

Sometimes I think I should go back to the 'That's a bingo!' avatar. After seeing Styles again work wonders with The Miz on SDL, I really am intrigued to see how his 2017 goes....

Anyone know when the PWI issue with the year end awards will be out to buy?
