Do you love your job? Many don't. Some people do things for the money. Some may like the physical element, and find the talking part out of the ir comfort zone and hate it. Watch Breaking ground, and you will see that every week. Wrestling isn't like taking a job from the classifieds. You choose to be a wrestler.. Because you either love wrestling or love the physical aspect(ex bodybuilders,football players, etc). Ain't about the money because more than likely the amount of money being paid to stay on the road over 300 days a week isn't worth it. Breaking ground really? The scripted "reality" based show on the network? Its the same as any other athlete. So many athletes continue playing whatever sport it is, just because thats all they can do. It becomes a job. Hell, majority of baseball and football players get like that after a few years. To you, wrestling seems like the greatest career. Look at people like roman reigns. Hes basically in it because he didnt suceed in football. He had family tues to wrestling, so he did it. John cena was a long time fan, but didnt do well at bodybuilding or anything else, so he went to wrestling.

I honestly think the contract Styles was offered was a desperate move by WWE to get someone on the roster who will draw during this period of injuries. Yes they will make the most out of what they could with AJ but I can see him floating in the midcard throughout his tenure.

I think he COULD. But probably won't, because
A.) their history of treating non-homegrown talent like second-rate athletes (look at any former WCW or ECW guy) B.) the fact that, eventually, all the injured talent will be back and probably pushed to the spotlight, meaning the current faves will go back down the card
Enjoy all these matches with Styles, Owens, etc while you can. Soon, Cena and Orton will be tearing it up again.

My answer is no... by far...
But the real question is, will he have more success than Daniel Bryan? (He already looks like the better wrestler in my eyes)

We were talking about only AJ but ok you're comparing baseball and football where they make millions per year to wrestling where salaries are much smaller and the grind on bodies are so much more. I never said wrestling was a great career in fact I think it would actually suck to work that hard for that amount of money but hey I don't love wrestling as much as the guys who actually do it tho. And how is it guys in pro sports can't do anything besides play that sport when the nfl and Nba have a college minimum and mlb has very little high school draftees?

These nfl players with college degrees are usually dumb as hell. They glide through college. You get into something like prowrestling and start making a set amount. If you choose to quit, adjusting to much lower wages and different work is much harder, then just dealing with it and sticking around. It seems the indy guys love their professions, which is awesome.

Yes. AJ Styles can and will be bigger than Punk. People use the mic skills excuse, and that's irrelevant, look at Daniel Bryan.

I don't think AJ will have a too career, I think he'll be mid card - upper card and maybe a one time champion. He is 38 now which means he's not going to have a long career unless he wrestles as long as Sting and Flair and I think WWE might hold him back from the top out of spite.

If hes booked right but I would be very surprised if that happens. As for classic figures, he wasnt in WWE or any WWE owned companies like WCW or ECW so they dont exist to Vince so I wouldnt be waiting on any AJ Flashbacks.
