Champion blasts rival company

TNA Star and current TNA World Champion AJ Styles has blasted the WWE and its backstage environment. In an interview with the UK Sun, Desmond Wolfe and AJ Styles spoke about being in TNA and why they didn't want to work for the WWE.

"All the horror stories I've heard about WWE, there is no reason why I'd want to go. I'm going to tell you what I know as the main difference between the two companies. Desmond and I are going to work together to make this company the best, for everybody. Whereas in the other company they will stab each other in the back to get themselves to the next level. It's not about me. It's about us in TNA."

The full interview can be heard from the source.

   I'm disappointed in your comment A.J,i'm not a TNA fan but i was a fan of your's but hearing you bad mouthing the wwe and their workers thats not cool,they're problems everywhere even in your tna but as a champion you need to be more positive striving always to be different without bad mouthing others. Big quest to all nice and decent people.

   I wouldn't want to wrestle for the WWE right now either honestly, but saying they don't stab each other in the back is a complete lie. If they told AJ Styles right now that him taking a huge pay cut would help the company, AJ would be wrestling somewhere else in a heartbeat. Being valued as a wrestler is important, but money talks.

   They dont wanna work for WWE? Yeah right AJ tried out and they didnt think he was good enough and Desmond was going to the WWE but didn't pass his physical test. It's not that they didnt want to go to the WWE, the WWE didnt wanted them (which is stupid but thats another discussion)

   You see someone getting hurt all the time in WWE, and that is expected wrestling over 200 days a year. I don't want to see anyone hurt, but what would they do if 5-6 big talents get hurt at the same time?

    Yeah I think AJ has a point... WWE is as mind consuming as any other company and many do dirty things to get to the top.the company pushed the popular people and the cruiserweight division was killed slowly... TNA on the other hand gives many an opportunity and doesn't make wrestlers show up if they can't and/or are injured. WWE is just a sick company and they are going down little by little. The only reason why they are what they are today is because of their past. TNA>WWE A.J Styles>John Cena

    A.J. Styles is scum, just like TNA. Its no dought that a worthless champion like him would say such a thing about WWE. The wwe gets a higher rating when they have regular matches then TNA does with there possible biggest matches/events.

    I like that TNA tries to make all of their wrestlers somewhat useful. Currently that could change, but up till now they've done a good job. They all have fresh feuds frequently, unlike WWE. John Cena vs Legacy/Orten is good, but its not the only match we want to see. WWE clearly wins the entertainment part, as it continues to have the highest rated show on television. I guess I wish I could have a combination of the two. Fresh faces like TNA, but still important rivalries and keep it drawing you back in like WWE.

    aj has been saying this for a long time, if you are suddenly losing all respect for him you are a fool.
    
    i believe anyone who only watches one promotion isnt really a wrestling fan. all promotions have good and bad parts and the smaller promotions usually have the best matches

    Typical TNA bashing. I'm willing to bet he'll sing a different tune if/when Hogan and Bishoff run TNA to the ground for it to be bought by the WWE.

    I dont blame AJ for saying this. TNA used to treat their wrestlers with respect but in recent times, that respect has gone downhill fast. I am sure alot backstage apreciate the likes of the X Division, the KO's AJ and the old TNA wrestlers but there does seem to be too much going on that TNA is losing its key wrestlers. The system is treating them like dirt. And WWE, well there is alot of reasons people are leaving the WWE as well.

    There's something worst in TNA than AJ's words.
    
    Bischoff is against Daniels, Eric Young, Homicide & The British Invasion.
    
    Hogan against Suicide.
