MY STATEMENT ON TNA CONTRACT NEGOTIATIONS 12/16/13
Today for the first time in 11 years, AJ Styles awakes to find himself without a professional wrestling contract. I can't help but think how did I get here, what must I have done wrong, did I not deliver in the ring, etc. All of those are pertinent questions that any man or woman who finds himself or herself unemployed would ask.
I have always prided myself in being the wrestler that stays away from the things in this business that could easily destroy myself, my family, my marriage, and even my career. A wrestler who goes above and beyond to give the fans what they paid to see.
I move forward not bitter, but better for the blessings and memories that I have been a part of since TNA's inception.
When this contract renegotiation journey started several months ago, my wife and I began praying for ? to close doors that needed to be closed and to open the doors that He wanted us to walk through. We asked him to prepare us for this journey and to help us to have the faith to be obedient to what He would have us to do. I am assured by the name Immanuel in Matthews 1:23 that I will never be alone. Hebrews 13.5, says He will never leave us or forsake us. There is a lot in this world that I am unsure of, especially in this moment, but there is one thing that I am certain. Contracts may expire, but the promise of Immanuel will never expire.
As my family and I move forward with my wrestling career, we will turn to Jabez's prayer found in 1 Chronicles 4:10.
Oh, that You would bless me indeed,
and enlarge my territory,
that Your hand would be with me,
and that You would keep me from evil.
My family and I are both grateful for the platform that TNA has allowed me to experience. TNA has been a blessing to our family for many years. We have made many friendships and many more memories. While you may not be seeing AJ Styles in TNA, you can be sure that he will be traveling the world and delivering many more Phenomenal matches. Visit AJStyles.org for a complete list of bookings.
Sincerely,
AJ Styles

He's a Christian, I give him a GOAT.
-
AJ deserved better, well back to ROH he goes, well maybe not ROH, maybe Japan.
-
Oh yea AJ signed to ROH. I think this is legit because he's scheduled for an on-air taping and I think since 2012 TNA has put it in contracts that you can't do that if you signed with them
-
I was beginning to think all these departures were a work Jarrett, Hardy, Styles all at the same time.
Maybe it's a mix and some guys are working and other guys aren't. Who knows these days -

Too bad you have to be friends with either him or Cena to get signed.
Joe and Cena go way back. And i have yet to see a musclebuster anywhere near wwe rings
-
Cena and Punk have actually both lobbied for Joe to go over to WWE. Joe just likes his gig over at TNA and doesn't bother getting out of his comfort zone. Not having to change his look and a less demanding schedule = more time to eat some twinkies.

Hardy is definitely a work but the other 2 seem legit. Hardy signed a two year contract last year. He can't travel outside the US and TNA is going on their UK tour so that was how they wrote him off TV.
