so he was there for tweleve years not making shyt and when he finally does leave, he's making more in six months than he did ever in TNA? Ok.
He's comparing it to the contract they offered him, not the older ones.

Oh alright then, makes sense.

Exactly, TNA is slashing six figures off of all of the top talents contracts, AJ gave them a nah and is making more money, which isn't surprising.
I don't think a lot of dudes really grasp that NJPW is legit the second biggest company in the world. They break bread over there. Look at how massive a contract they had to offer Albert to come back over. AJ is catching some yen over there, and he's not even making as much as he could as he's not working a full schedule. Doesn't work the house shows, just the PPVs and this month the G1.
I'd imagine he's working fewer dates than he would be for TNA anyway.

Chances make champions
low key going ROH / NJPW / Dragongate / DGUSA is 100x better way to learn the business and sharpen your teeth than TNA, easily.
Not only that, but you won't have that TNA stench attached to your career to the degree that no amount of coke could convince Vince to hire you. (talking moreso about people starting there and somewhat establishing themselves there).
You mustve missed my.comments in the parantheses. Truth was in wcw and wwf before tna, kim was in the e before tna, christian and hardy are obvious. Xavier was the only one out of those you could say was established a bit in tna before the E, but even he was in an NWA promotion under former wwe employers and got over..and when was in tna he was paired with truth.

I wonder how many dates he has to work in comparison though?
Cuz the thing that seems to get lost a lot in the pay convo is how often they work.
I mean yes I get it's hilarious when you hear a TNA wrestler gets let's say $95k a year in comparison to the average E guy who allegedly makes $2 million just to be in backstage segments and randomly seen on the leases shows and never sees a ppv.
But when you hear that E guy works 340 days a year for that check and the TNA guy works say 80 days for that $90k (do to double triple tapings and and limited travel) it really puts things in perspective.
And not cats like Angle and Sting and etc were making $200k+ just for maybe 50 days or less of work!
That's crazy

Sting and Angle were making a million a year and they damn sure werent paying for travel and hotels. TNA just didn't see Styles as valuable. Simple as that. He wasn't no huge draw. It's no big deal.
He hired month brown too.
