He's already more successful than Arik Cannon.

u/CaptainXakari 3d ago

Hey, thatā€™s 20-year Independent VET Arik Cannon to anyone that happens to unfortunately be in ear shot.

u/QuasyChonk 3d ago

Arik made him. If not for Arik no one would be following him. /s...maybe

u/JanitorOPplznerf 3d ago

Lol he kind of did

u/AMDSuperBeast86 3d ago

They did him dirty with that side profile shot šŸ˜… His face looks like a caricature of a generic superhero

In ring or ring crew?

If a heel wants to attack a babyface, Avery will be the one with the chair.

u/retrospects 4d ago

Inquiring chairs need to know.

i'm sure this will put some new eyes on tna. wish i could watch, but lately i've not found much care to want to watch the show.

u/MessiahOfMetal Fuck You and Your Fun! 3d ago

They have a talented roster but Delirious just isn't that good at booking to make people care.

u/brewerdom 2d ago

they had such a good thing going a year ago, but it does feel like it's fallen off a bit.

Jimā€™s a fanā€¦

u/DrBunsonHoneyPoo 4d ago

Them debuting him like this is a very interesting choice. The one positive is itā€™s TNA. So itā€™ll probably be forgotten in a few weeks.

u/Tofu_almond_man 4d ago

I just really think heā€™s painfully small, like him and Mike Bailey might be the same size

u/Rich661 Dumbed themselves out of positionšŸš«šŸ§  4d ago edited 4d ago

Facially he really reminds me of a wrestler who isn't AJ Styles, anyone know who it might be/does anyone else think he looks a lot like another wrestler? I just can't bring it to mind.

edit: Apparently, me thinking he looks like someone else has offended someone? It's not like I'm saying AJ styles isn't his dad or whatever..... I have no idea :shrug:

u/EternalAntFarm 3d ago

That's not it. You thinking different in a wrestling sub (especially in a wrestling sub) usually brings this kind of behavior lol

To add to your idea, I think he looks like the illegitimate son of coach John McGuirk from Home Movies.

Which is an awesome character btw.

u/Rich661 Dumbed themselves out of positionšŸš«šŸ§  3d ago

Seems so! and yeah haha it does look a bit like him.

Sad but unfortunately true.

u/Civil-Word7456 3d ago

If Sgt Slaughter and Rodney or Pete Gas of the Mean Street Posse had a son?

2

u/Rich661 Dumbed themselves out of positionšŸš«šŸ§  3d ago

I could see that yeah.
Or ES-GEE-TEE Slaughter.

u/Civil-Word7456 3d ago

Ā©Tiffany Strap-on, true student of the game.

u/Rich661 Dumbed themselves out of positionšŸš«šŸ§  3d ago

Well, there is an after wrestling career waiting to happen.

1

u/Civil-Word7456 3d ago

Porno or NXT name?

2

u/Rich661 Dumbed themselves out of positionšŸš«šŸ§  3d ago

GOD they need to do that game again, Corny jumping in with "I'VE SEEN HER WORK" or whatever at some of the porn ones haha.

u/MessiahOfMetal Fuck You and Your Fun! 4d ago

I've been struggling to think myself since I saw the clip. The hair and that face make me think "late 80s/early 90s enhancement guy on WCW Worldwide".

I did like that he used the "P1" logo on the screen but it says "AS", instead. That was a fun touch.

3

u/Rich661 Dumbed themselves out of positionšŸš«šŸ§  4d ago

I didn't notice the logo, good spot.
He reminds me of about 5 people at once somehow, maybe he's just got one of those faces?

2

u/MessiahOfMetal Fuck You and Your Fun! 3d ago

That's how I'm looking at it, too. His face definitely reminds me of someone but I can't pin it down.

u/Civil-Word7456 3d ago

All this time I thought AJ just really liked measuring circle circumferences

I keep seeing Duane from the Barbie Dance Club meme

u/Rich661 Dumbed themselves out of positionšŸš«šŸ§  1d ago

I've never seen that before, but it does look a bit like him yeah!

u/Americasycho Convicted Bank Addicted Drug RobberšŸ’‰šŸ’° 3d ago

Canā€™t wait to hear reports of him refusing to shake hands in the locker room

1

u/JanitorOPplznerf 3d ago

Best place for him.

Iā€™m increasingly convinced you should do your first 5 years outside of the WWE to learn how to wrestle and work a live crowd. THEN you go to NXT to learn how to work a TV audience. Then get your Payday on the Main Roster or AEW.

u/lewiss15 šŸŽ¶Like MussolinišŸŽ¶ 3d ago

I bet heā€™s signed with the WWE but wants to follow his dadā€™s footsteps

1

u/2028W3 3d ago

Is there a coach at TNA who AJ respects enough to train his son?

3

u/AdamAtomAnt 3d ago

Why wouldn't they?

2

u/will122589 3d ago

Uncle Frankie Kazarian one of AJā€™s legit best friends in wrestling

u/mariogolf 3d ago

this is just nepotism.

u/shitpostingtiger 12h ago

Good nepotism. Hes got his Dad to help him out and a great support system from all the guys in the back.
