10 Things You Didn't Know About WWE Superstar AJ Styles
Somebody wasn't too keen on the idea of having AJ enter the 2016 Royal Rumble in the number three position?!
9. Up Close And Personal
We all remember our first time going to see a wrestling show live and in person. Some of us may have been fortunate enough to have our first show be a major WWE pay-per-view, while others' first time may have been a local indy card.
Your first live wrestling show may have come as a child, or it might have been later in life. For AJ Styles, his first such experience might surprise you.
As revealed in an RF Video shoot interview released in 2014, Styles' first time seeing pro wrestling live was on the night that he wrestled his first match in 1998. He'd never been to a show before, having grown up considerably poor, as noted in the prior entry.
Styles' family also could not afford cable TV, so throughout his youth, he was deprived of seeing much of the wrestling action that would inspire many of his peers. Instead, Styles had to settle for whatever syndicated or cable-access wrestling was available to him.
