#4 AJ Styles vs. Frank Trigg - 3 Rounds of MMA
AJ Styles is arguably the best wrestler alive today. The key word in that first sentence is ‘wrestler’. He, like almost all pro wrestlers, does not belong in an MMA fight against someone that isn’t trained in wrestling.
Antonio Inoki found this out the hard way in 1999 and almost killed NJPW so badly that he was forced out of his own company. Yet TNA didn’t get the memo and made Styles take on Frank Trigg in an MMA contest. The ‘match’ was inundated with boos and chants of ‘we want wrestling’. It only got progressively worse as Styles resorted to cheating to win the following round.
By the time this whole thing was over, Trigg had left the company without leading to any big profit for the company and Styles had been wasted on someone that had little to no knowledge of, or interest in, wrestling.
