AJ did have to slowdown with Y2J, but it was obvious that we were watching some of the greats. The finish was very clean - kind of lackluster but smartly leaves more unpredictable finishes down the road.

I've been seeing that too. I think he has lost a step (still much better than many though) and seems to slow down matches when he's facing fast paced opponents.
Yea this is it. Noticed it during his match with Neville and with KO a bit. Still nice matches that we thought we would never see.

AJ looked small compared to Y2J but they the same height?? jericho just bloated as hell and has a huge Peyton Manning sized head lol

Jericho is about 5'9". I thought Styles was around the same height or a little shorter. Also I heard that Jericho uses lifts for his shoes so who knows?

They seemed to be going through the motions, but it was still a dream match to watch.

Jericho looking like rvd physique wise. I noticed both of them kind of bloated up once they hit their 40s.

Aj looked small compared to jericho. He might need to hit the weight room and tweak his appearance. Dude kept reminding me of Justin Gabriel.

Aj just need a wrestler that he can have good chemistry with so he can fully adjusted to the feel of the wwe style as well as the size of the ring.

Good first match of hopefully many for AJ. Even if they don't push him to the moon at the least he should be in the title picture at all times either World IC or USA and he should be having matches every week with some of the best. Cant wait to see him against cats like Cesaro Ziggler Rollins Ambrose Bryan (hopefully) even Cena etc. not to mention cats like Itami Balor Joe etc. This should be a golden age for the E as far the in ring action. No way they shouldn't have at least 3-4 matches a week on Raw that are on the 3 plus star range if they match these cats up and give them 15-20 minutes every time.

I hope he uses this move. I love this shyt. Could even be a finisher if the don't allow the Styles Clash.





Probably too old to do the springboard joint
